You have bled. You have cried. You have had sand kicked in your eyes. On your dreams all before. There is no difference then. Now. Twenty-four. Twenty-two. Eighteen. Twelve. You do not cave. So why do you think you should now?

Honey pie. If you just wait with me until the sunrise a whole new day will rise along with it. A whole new you wanting to reach the other side because things might seem bad for now, but there is so much more to live for than not because your story it's not finished, so neither is mine.

Sooner or later agony is tamed
and felicity is sighted again.
Sooner or later ominosity crumbles
and the glint of gaiety roars again.

Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded. It looks as if they were victims of a conspiracy; for the books they read, ideal by the necessity of selection, and the conversation of their elders, who look back upon the past through a rosy haze of forgetfulness, prepare them for an unreal life. They must discover for themselves that all they have read and all they have been told are lies, lies, lies; and each discovery is another nail driven into the body on the cross of life.
