Ok, so the BF and I are planning on painting inspirational quotes around our place together, does anybody have any good ones? We both battle mental disorders and have decided to paint little reminders to stay strong and have faith on the walls, so feel free to leave any ideas! :kiss:
Yes, my love for quotes and pretty words and collecting them is finally going to pay off. Here are some. I have a lot more here: awfullybigadventureee.tumblr.com/tagged/quotes
There are a lot that have come from mental illness/recovery blogs if you want to take a look at those. Sometimes when I'm having a rough time I go through all those quotes to distract myself and uplift, even if that sounds really corny :P These ones might help out though.
PS - don't hold me accountable if the person who said them is incorrect. They came from tumblr.... So that should tell you everything.
You are a bird
With a broken wing.
They can set
The bone
And make it heal,
But only you
Can teach yourself
To fly free again.
-M.S.
Don’t give up! It’s not over. The universe is balanced. Every set-back bears with it the seeds of a come-back.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Maybe everyone can live beyond what they’re capable of.

You're not broken darling; all those cracks, big or small, are the places where your light shines through.
Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.
― Winston Churchill
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
-JRR Tolkien
(That one is one of my all time favorite quotes. I had it hanging in my dorm room one semester and loved everything about it. So powerful.)
I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.
Joshua Graham
God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.
― Elbert Hubbard
It doesn’t matter if the water is cold or warm if you’re going to have to wade through it anyway.
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because her trust is not in the branch but in her wings. Believe in yourself.
I feel small; but so are stars from a distance.
Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.
― Henry Ward Beecher
Do not try to be pretty. You weren’t meant to be pretty; you were meant to burn down the earth and graffiti the sky. Don’t let anyone ever simplify you to just “pretty."
