Great quote on gentleness and love over anger and sadness

vutran | Nov. 2, 2020, 8:50 a.m.

“ No matter what happens, at some point you have to stop being so angry, you have to stop being so sad, you have to start being gentle with yourself. At some point you have to just let it all go and be happy, you have to spread love instead of being afraid of it. You have to love yourself and everyone around you before it's too late.

Don't waste away being unhappy over trivial things. Don't do it. Don't do it to yourself and don't let other people do it to you.”

— Great quote on gentleness and love over anger and sadness

Emery Allen on impermanance

vutran | Nov. 1, 2020, 12:52 p.m.

Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.
