6 Quotes by Dodie Clark

Life is a bus ride, with only so many seats. It took me a long time to comprehend that sometimes people had to leave my life, to make room for the better ones, but once I understood that it became easier to let go, and I was surprised at just how quickly new, interesting people somehow found their way onto my bus.

My rotting brain had lied to me; of course talking would help. Of course my loving, caring friends telling me it would get better would help. They fed ropes down the hold I'd been digging, and even if they couldn't pull me up, they at least reminded me that there was a world beyond this, where I'd been before.

I hung back, staring at cars driving past and wondering if they were moving fast enough to knock me down.

I felt guilty about that for a while until I realized everyone is just a collage of their favorite parts of other people.

When you can't find your purpose in a day, make it to look after yourself.

Am I the only onewishing life away?Never caught up in the momentbusy begging the past to stayMemories painted with much brighter ink;they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
