I love to read this quote over and over when I am procrastinating. Procrastination is one of the biggest problems that I have and fail miserably to let go of. So each time I try to convince myself to work on something later, I look at this quote. It kind of gives me a personal embarrassment.

I have definitely gone through a time when my happiness was dependent on material stuff. Even my happiness in relationships was more dependent on them. I had no way of finding happiness in the small things and wins. But as I grew and learned more about life, I had to learn ways of being happy other than material things. I get so happy based on the most stupid things. you learn to love yourself and those around you and are grateful for life and seeing a new day.
It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies but even more to stand up to your friends.
— J.K. Rowling
I am not the most confrontational person. In fact, most times I love staying in my bubble. You know, one of those with unicorns and all. This quote is particularly I like cause it gives you strength. It is easy for a person to be biased towards their friends. Often will let them run you over with bullshit. When you finally get that courage to call them out, you get a sense of relief.
Goest and fucketh thyself
— Your Tango
I am only human. Or like we say it in Chichewa, “Inenso ndi munthu, ndili ndi zofooka zanga.” Trust me when I say I say this alotttt. Mostly, will whisper it when I can’t take the bullshit anymore.
