Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back.

It's a waste of time worrying about something that worry won't fix; it's about as useful as trying to feed your pet rock.

It felt like this was never going to end. The world wasn't going to stop crashing down until there was nothing left of me but dust.

Excessive caution destroys the soul and the heart, because living is an act of courage, and an act of courage is always an act of love.

The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.

The pleasure of living and the pleasure of the orgasm are identical. Extreme orgasm anxiety forms the basis of the general fear of life.

I want to be the best version of myself for anyone who is going to someday walk into my life and need someone to love them beyond reason.

How can you follow your heart, unless you know why you have allowed it to be empty for so long and didn't have the courage to fix it?

Every time you try to do something that anxiety wants to stop you from doing, you've struck a blow that will make the anxiety weaker.

My life felt so cluttered and obstructed that I could hardly breathe. I inhabited a closed, concentrated world, airless and without exits.

in my experience, the words “now just calm down” almost inevitably have the opposite effect on the person you are speaking to.

We imagine that a little anxiety and worry is an indication of how wise we really are; it may be an indication of how wicked we really are.

But I love you and I want you and I need you. Can’t you see that? This world has nothing to offer me if it doesn’t include you.

That last time you kissed me my heart slid past your teeth down into the center of your chest… trapping us both in a stainless cage.

Keep making noise, I prayed, laughing. Bang drums. Clamor and ring bells for I cannot stand to hear the tired beating of this almost heart.
