Slogans And Quotes That Get You Through The Rough Patches

[ClairBear226]

Sounds like what I would do too, Sandra. I firmly believe that people should have "delete" buttons so you can just extracate the bad ones from your life, quick and easy. :D

"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice ​

at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow'". ~ Mary Ann Radmacher​

That one ClairBear reminds me of this one: :)

"Hope is like the sparrow that senses the dawn..
and carefully starts to sing while it is still dark"

 

[Sandra]

You got that right ClairBear226. I wished I could do the same with my sister as she is no different then my brother for abusing me. But I don't have anyone else to help me with things. So in other words it's a user relationship and it will never be a sister relationship.

I have a new Slogan for the week. It means nothing but to a select few. It is a quote of something I said, and I think I understand for the first time.

"Candles don't just appear on side walks"

If you don't understand, it's something I can't really explain. But it works for me this week, and it is giving me hope.

I saw the post, Zip. It's about the book. And I like it.

[The Albatross]

"Here I am to save the daaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!" (Mighty mouse impression, ack, um... sorry)

Okay how about:

Suit up, show up, and let your little light shine. (yeah and some times I throw in a "Buck up" first when I'm feeling wimpy)

 

[bittersweet]

This one gives me a chuckle. I came up with this while driving

"When we are all born there are some of us who are born with good luck and then there are people, such as myself, who are the living proof Murphy's Law exists" - Me

If you cower in front of those trying to make/keep you small, they have won. That sentiment is very helpful to me.

Also: What, are you emo now? helps me to realise that I'm cowering and helps me to pull myself together.

In terms of quotes of other people, there's 'my' fight song, Welcome to the Black Parade by MCR

Do or die, you'll never make me, because the world will never take my heart - You know, an existencialistic atheistic world view is not the best prerequisite to feel like there's any point in anything at all, so I stand up against reality to keep it from breaking me. Just because. Take that, reality!

I'm not afraid, I'm gonna show my scar - Quite literally, since I don't hide the scars on my arms and legs. But more importantly, I will not feel ashamed because I am mentally ill. I will not feel like a lesser human being. I will stand up for my rights as a nutcase. I will not beat myself up for the things I can't do. I will not succumb to other people's ideas of how I should heal or whom I should heal to be.
