Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. –Mark Twain

"I cannot stand the words ‘Get over it’. All of us are under such pressure to put our problems in the past tense. Slow down. Don’t allow others to hurry your healing. It is a process, one that may take years, occasionally, even a lifetime – and that’s OK." — Beau Taplin

“I understand your pain. Trust me, I do. I’ve seen people go from the darkest moments in their lives to living a happy, fulfilling life. You can do it too. I believe in you. You are not a burden. You will never be a burden.” —Sophie Turner

“You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human.” -Lori Deschene

As a positive person, this is something I used to struggle with. I created such a persona of being so happy and nice all of the time that people got almost scared when I was sad but I realised I am allowed to be sad and still be known as a nice and happy guy because that's still the real majority of my behavior.

You are absolutely allowed to be sad and feel all the other emotions. Remember you can't heal if you don't allow yourself to feel.

Happy Holidays to each and every one of you guys!
I know for many of us the holidays just aren’t always as joyful as we’d hope. No matter what you’re going through, I hope you allow yourself to take a break and enjoy family, friends, and most importantly, yourself.
To those of you who are celebrating the holidays without someone you love dearly, I just want to say I know how hard it is for you; to have one less person to go shopping for and one less plate to set at the dinner table. There’s no doubt the memories of them and the tears that follow will try to suck the joy out of you, but don’t forget to smile. You are in my thoughts.​

“Journey before destination. Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.
But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one." -From "Oathbringer" by Brian Sanderson


Thanks @Luna for sending me this quote!

thank you heartless for the consistent effort of these posts, I think i can speak for many people on how grateful we are to have you in our community. I think mental health is a really important issue in our society today and it makes me feel better knowing that there’s people like heartless making an effort in helping. Personally I am a very closed person, especially when it comes to stuff like mental health and i’m sure i’m not the only one. It’s not something that’s easy to talk about. However, giving people the option to talk about how they are feeling is really helpful since, from my experience, it is a lot easier to talk when the person listening is anonymous. So again, ty heartless for putting so much effort into this.

Happy New year, guys!​

It’s officially 2023 and despite everything, you managed to keep your head high and persevered through all the odds; for that, you should be proud of yourself. I know there were times when it felt like the devil was waiting and wishing upon your downfall but always remember: Thieves don’t break into an empty house, and the devil wouldn't be attacking you so hard if there wasn’t something valuable inside you. You made it to another year and I wish you all nothing but the best from here on out. Going forward, don’t ever forget there are people who care, and please don't ever hesitate to reach out to them.
With this thread coming to an end, I’d like to remind you all that my discord is open to anyone who may need to talk because we humans are social animals, and sometimes we just need someone to be there - not to fix anything, or really even do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported
Thank you to everyone who supported this thread, and a big thanks to Insidious for that comment. It makes me feel good knowing this thread has helped some people and I hope it will continue to do so for anyone who may look back on it.
