• "Happiness doesn't come from surrounding yourself with pretty things and pretty people with pretty emotions simply to feel something. It does, however, come from accepting your emotions for what they are at face-value and learning to live your life with those emotions — not avoiding them, but living with them. You can’t always throw your emotions to the side, put on a smile, and pretend everything’s okay. It works sometimes, but not always. Sometimes it’s okay to not be okay, because that’s life. And you’ll never completely move on with life if you live with an attitude of avoidance. Because eventually everything catches up, no matter how fast you run from it."
