Relevant Quotes

I have this problem where I suck at expressing how I feel. Like, I just go silent and nothing comes out. My family hates it. But anyway, I think thats why I like all these little quotes/poems because they express how I'm feeling without me having to say anything. 

I thought I would share some of them that feel really relevant to me right now (or were relevant in the past) and maybe they'll help other people or express how someone is feeling but can't quite put into words.

I don't care that you got into drugs for three months straight, or how much sleep you lost in that period. I don't care that you went home and fucked that person and woke up at 6am hating everything about yourself, or that you smoked so much you sounded as though your lungs were giving out.

And the most important quote which I really have to take to heart and try and drill into my head:

Other people are not medicine. [N/A]
