The trouble is, you think you have time.

It's as though I'm on this train, with people constantly getting on and off. Some leave quickly, without so much as a backward glance. I almost prefer those insufferable passengers, the goodbye is easy. But then there are those that take their time, saying goodbye slowly and intricately, before they tip-toe away to better lives. Regardless of the individual au revoir, they all manage to leave something behind: a scraggly scarf that still has the faintest scent of coffee, a pearly, beaded necklace reminiscent of better times, or some obscure novel in french script. I gather up my collection of their little memoirs, and I teach myself not to mind the circus of passengers. Despite the fact that scraggly, coffee-stained scarves do not keep you warm, beaded necklaces do eventually fall apart, and obscure, french novels don't keep you occupied for very long.

I have five clocks in my life, and only one has the time right.

"I don’t doubt myself because of you. I feel like the best version of myself when I’m with you, and that makes me doubt everything else." - Keeping the Faith

My future self is the only motivation that keeps me trudging forward. I keep hoping the person I'll become from all of this will be worth it. I'll be worth it.

"I’m always anxious thinking I’m not living my life to the fullest, y’know? Taking advantage of every possibility? Just making sure that I’m not wasting one second of the little time I have." - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

"If we can forgive what’s been done to us, if we can forgive what we’ve done to others. If we can leave all of our stories behind, our being victims and villains - only then can we maybe rescue the world. But we still wait here, while we’re still victims, waiting to be saved. Waiting to be discovered while we suffer." – Chuck Palahniuk
