Jasinda Wilder quotes:

Compassion and pity are not the same: pity is looking down on someone, feeling sorry for them and offering nothing; compassion is seeing their pain and offering them understanding.

That's what courage is you know: being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.

Forgetting is the mind's way of helping you heal. Helping you move on.

A friend is like a good bra: hard to find, comfortable, supportive, always lifts you up, makes you look better, never lets you down or leaves you hanging, and always close to your heart.

Just remember, you never know what's possible until you risk finding out.

What can I say? I've never met a cupcake I didn't want to get to know better.

The only way past the pain is through it. Pain, grief, anger, misery...they don't go away-they just increase and compound and get worse. You have to live through them, acknowledge them. You have to give your pain its due.

You don't ever really let go, though. You don't stop. You don't stop hurting, you don't stop loving. It doesn't go away, you just keep living and eventually things get pushed into the background of your life so it's not consuming you every day. It still hurts, you still miss that person. And then one day you know you're okay.

I also know I'm not going to stay away. I'm going to grab onto her and let myself get cut. I'm good at pain. I'm good at bleeding, emotionally and physically.

Hot heart-blood leaked from my face. From my eyes and my nose and my mouth. Not tears, because those would never stop. This was just liquid heartbreak seeping from my pores.

It ain't the end of the world, you know. Just the end of what you knew.

One breath at a time. One day at a time. Wake up, and be shredded. Cry for a while. Then stop crying and go about your day. You're not okay, but you're alive, and you will be okay, someday.

Hands are the medium of expression, as eyes are the windows to the soul.

All we can do is try, do our best. Give as much time as we have to give, one day at a time. One breath at a time

You need to let yourself feel. Feel it, own it. Then move on

I can't promise you forever, because that's not long enough.
