Quotes by C. JoyBell C.

“There are still some wonderful people left in this world! They are diamonds in the rough, but theyre around! Youll find them when you fall down– theyre the ones who pick you up, who dont judge, and you had to fall down to see them! When you get up again, remember who your true friends are!”

“A clown on a throne is still a clown. A king in rags is still a king.”

“Never do a single thing in the anticipation to prove something to someone who has hurt you. If someone has hurt or offended you (whoever that person may be), never perform anything or strive for anything in your life with the mind of proving something to that someone/ to those people. May nothing that you do be done with any thought of them in mind. There is nothing that needs to be proven.”

“I dont fit into any stereotypes. And I like myself that way.”

“Many things that dont really mean so much of anything, are wonderful.”

“It should be a privilege to be able to say I love you to someone. It shouldnt be something people say just because they feel like it. A privilege that is earned. They say you have to earn the right to be loved; no, love is unconditional, if you love someone, they dont have to earn it. But. The right to tell someone that you love them? That has to be earned. You have to earn the right to be believed.”

“It was him, it was always him, they only needed to stand there with their feet buried into the muddy moss and look at each other; to feel each other. Time stopped, movement disappeared and it was both the beginning of everything and the end of everything else. They had each other and there was no name, no title to it other than they just had each other. There was no necessity to be practical, what they had and what they were, was of their own and in their own and I think nothing in the world could have made Lucy happier than to have what they had, to be what they were.”

“It dawns on you one day... how precious your life is and how not okay it is for anyone, ever, to cause you any amount of suffering, ever. Then the next time you step out the door you look at everyone and you’re thinking, “My life is precious and you’re not allowed to hurt me.”

“At the end of the day, there are very few people around you who truly want to see you peaceful, happy and content. Most of your friends only want to see you happy, peaceful and content, in ratio to their own happiness, peace and contentment. Its like, Yeah, I want all your dreams to come true and I want to see you smile, but only for as much as I smile and only in proportion to how many of my own dreams come true. Thats what people today call, friendship and care. Its not really friendship and its not really care. Then theres like one or two people who would celebrate your own happiness and success even if its out of proportion to their own. And thats a real blessing right there, thats a real friendship.”

“There are so many bad people in the world. Theyll treat you badly, theyll haggle and undermine your worth. Theyll calculate what they can get without thinking about what to give. Thats the world. Very seldom, youll find someone who will not undermine and haggle your worth, who will take risks for you, who will think about what they can give to you and how they can make you happy. So you see, the rule goes like this— when you find such a person, you dont let go of them. You stay with them and they stay with you.”

“What if you could pick one day of your life, and everything would stop changing, every day would be similar and comparable to that one day, youd always have the same people with you? If you could do that, would you do it? Would you pick that day and make that choice? We crave for things to stop changing, we wish that things would never change. But if we got what we wanted, there are so many things that are better, that we would never, ever know about. Sure, things would stay the same as that one wonderful day, but then there would be nothing else out there, ever. So can you remember the very first day when everything really did begin to change? Is there a thing that can remind you? Mine is a blue rose, and thats when everything began to change because thats the day I began to believe in things I never believed in before; the day I found three blue roses. Think about your first day of change, can you remember all the new heights youve soared since that day? All the new people? All the better things and times? Would you throw all of that time away? I wouldnt. Instead, I want to finally accept all the things that I couldnt change, which led to me being right here, right now. Maybe we all carry around inside us one day we wish we could keep forever, something we wished never did change. Its time to let go of that day, and soar.”

“The coward says in his heart “There is no love.” Because, standing in the shadows of the big, grand, and powerful existence of love, his small spirit is left feeling even smaller and less significant. And so he chooses to deny the existence of love altogether. Because he is too small to have it.”

“We cant be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you dont have something better.”

“We doubt in others, what is in fact in ourselves. The skeletons in your own closet are the things that scare you the most about others; people who come from a background of lying are suspicious of lying in others and so on and so forth. The most trusting of people, are not people who have never been betrayed or who have never felt pain; but the most trusting of people are those who in themselves do not find those things worthy of that blame. We see the world through the eyes of the condition of our own souls.”

“I swear, the best things come to me by accident! Or should I say, effortless destiny?”

“Before, I wanted to say: I found love! But now, I want to say: I found a person. And he belongs to me and I belong to him.”

“Its time that I stop referring to myself, thinking about myself, planning for myself, according to the gridlines and the timelines and the guidelines of people. I will expand in this universe, I will not stay on the lines nor within the lines written by this world.”

“What does it mean if im afraid? Does it mean something bad is going to happen? No, it doesnt mean something bad is going to happen. It just means that you have the chance to be brave.”

“Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy. The differences between people lie in their use of these senses; most people dont know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more.”

“I dont have a diary, I dont write things into a diary. I imprint myself into the sky and when the sunlight shines brightly, I can stand under the suns rays and everything I have imprinted of myself into the sky, I will begin to see again, feel again, remember. And when the wind begins to blow, it blows the details over my face, and I remember everything I left in the sky and see new things being born. I am unwritten.”
