Words That Have Changed You.

"I think Im falling for you"

Followed by the words he loves me, said by my boyfriend almost two years ago. He's my heart and soul <3

I don't have much else to add, words don't really have a significant role in changing me. It's more actions I've found.
 
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that this was my life. This perspective has helped me see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
 
Life is a process, not a state. A person is a process, too, not a static entity. To conceive of oneself as an entity, as a substance, is a mistake. To live life as if one were a being, rather than a becoming, is a falsification of one's existence that is connected with the illusion of an everlasting life in a "transcendent" world. Living life is not accomplished by holding on, by accumulating things or knowledge, but by always overcoming oneself, and by transforming or passing on everything that one acquires.
-"Zarathustra"



Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.
-Adolf Hitler



The passions that drive us should be the ones we respect and admire. To feel contempt for ones own motivations is a vulgar thing. Too often, it seems i've succumbed to less than admirable compulsions driven by this furiously reprehensible machine of mine. So many things inside that I can do without - desires and urges and whatnot. So extraneous
-Nny



To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-Macbeth


My compassion is broken now. My will is eroded,
and my desire stolen and it makes me feel ugly.
I'm on my knees and burning.
My piss and moans are the fuel that set my head on fire.
So smell my soul burning.
I'm broken, looking up to see the enemy.
I have swallowed the poison you feed me ...
but I survive on it,
and it leaves me guilt fed, hatred fed, weakness fed..
and I feel ugly, and dead inside.
Shit adds up at the bottom.
You've left me no choice but to go inside and rebuild what's broken.
Too much, too far, too late to lie down now.
I must arm myself to fight you
by making weapons out of my imperfections.
It's all I have left.
There's no other choice.
I'm shameless, nameless, nothing, and noone now.
But my soul must be iron for my fear is naked.
I'm naked and fearless.
But I'm dead inside.
You see.. shit adds up, now I'm dead inside.
Hatred, weakness, and guilt keep me alive
at the bottom.
-M.J.K
 
There have been a couple heartfelt 'I'm sorry' 's that have really changed me........


and

"I believe in the cosmos.
All of us are linked to the cosmos. So nature is my god. To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are
my cathedrals. "
Mikhail Gorbachev
 
leftwing - on topic of fathers, the one that my dad said that really stuck with me was
'you're a lazy piece of shit'

oh and to quote one of my least fav teachers - you will never amount to anything - except maybe being a checkout chick for the rest of your working life

neither apparantly understood anything about ADHD

and more iron maiden to lighten things up - this one has a big impact on me - so understand, don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years.....face up, make your stand, and realise you're living in the golden years
i think a lot of us need to take in the true meaning behind those words
 
"You can be afraid of it, and try to hide from it, and make peace with it, and hope it wont kill you, or you can get the fuck up, quench the fear inside yourself, and go kill it, and then know it wont kill you"- one of my sergeants in basic training, or something to that effect, exact wording eludes me..but it changed my outlook on things a bit....he was right, fuck fear, fuck hiding, and fuck trying to talk it over with something hostile to you...hit it harder, faster and meaner and before it hits you, and you have nothing to fear.

"It is better to live one day as a lion, then a thousand years as a sheep"
Italian proverb/saying

"If I could take it all back now, I wouldn't
I would have did more shit that people said that I shouldn't"
Eminem.
 
best new one from my father:

"i've got a heroin addict for a son an I don't even know what the fuck for a daughter.... is there some kind of generational skip in terms of people being born with common sense and any ability to achieve anything in life?"

thanks dad, really
 
^ Maybe instead of looking at genes/generational skip maybe he should look at parenting skills. That's a horrible thing to say mia :(
 
i love a good quote :) and some good ones here

my 2 favorites that i use for motivation

'winners make it happen, losers let it happen'

and

'brick walls are there to prove how badly you want something'
 
I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed. -Dali Lama

In our daily lives problems are bound to arise. The biggest problems in our lives are the ones that we inevitably have to face, like old age, illness, and death. Trying to avoid our problems or simply not thinking about them may provide temporary relief, but I think that there is a better approach. If you directly confront your suffering, you will be in a better position to appreciate the depth and nature of the problem. If you are in a battle, as long as you remain ignorant of the status and combat capability of your enemy, you will be totally unprepared and paralyzed by fear. However, if you know the fighting capability of your opponents, what sort of weapons they have and so on, then you’re in a much better position when you engage in war. In the same way, if you confront your problems rather than avoid them, you will be in a better position to deal with them.
-Dali Lama

"For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice - no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service”

John Burroughs

“A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.”

John Burroughs

“Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion.”

random ones--

"Eating disorders are just like babies in that if you don't pay attention to them they're going to cry and want your attention. But babies cry for no reason and you may look at them when they cry but you don't take their crying seriously. So why would you take your eating disorder crying so seriously that you would begin harming yourself again?" -ex boyfriend (who also had an ED and shared my dislike at the time for little children %))

"Ever since I stopped being friends with people who had my problems in common and started being friends with people who had my interests in common my life got a lot better." -close friend

"You should never be ashamed of your drug addiction or feel you have to hide it in fear of losing respect, because you don't lose respect from becoming a drug addict. You lose respect when you realize you're a drug addict and chose to stay one." -woman who worked in my rehab

"You know, sometimes I think that as much as I love heroin and I love being high, and you know how much I love it, I can't even compare the happiness it gave me to the happiness that comes from loving someone and being loved. But no one can love a using heroin addict, really love them, and that's the truth. So really, every moment I'm high is a waste because I can't be in love and I can't be loved. And I'm paying for that? Fuck that!" -my brother (a few days ago talking about relapsing)
 
"You are my shadow, no matter where I go, you are always right there with me. You are always by my side and there for me. "

My husband and I do this really cute thing when we say we love each other as if we are leaving... like going to the store or work or something...

(Husband walking away)
Me: "Hey!!"
(Husband turns around)
Me: "Do you love me?"
Husband: "I love you honey"
Me: "How much?"
Husband: "Too much"

uugghhh that just gets me every single time! My mom says it's so romantic that he actually takes the time to say i love you instead of just saying yes to my question. and i love it when he says too much... i am gauranteed to have an amazing day when we have this conversation :):)

shakes me up good
 
Knowledge without application is worse than ignorance.

I don't know whose quote that is but it's good.
 
I just dont give a fuck.

M Mathers.

"the idea, is basically, we win by killing them and keeping you alive, despite what hippies or parents may have told you"
one of random superior's at some point.
 
You are more dedicated to drugs than anything else.

Said to me by a friend.

Edit: Wait, it didn't change my life. Disregard that.
