I rediscovered beautiful quotes by accident

I found this random unpublished post which didn't even have a title. I opened the document, and I found all these beautiful quotes I had been collecting maybe 3-5 years ago! I think I'm going to make this a regular post, maybe not every week or month but maybe 3-4 times a year. Just enough time to forget I had highlighted the lines in the first place!

But here are some beautiful random quotes, I honestly don't even remember collecting them, but they must have left me pondering or just caught up in the emotion for one reason or another. Hope you enjoy them as much as I apparently did!

 The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

When I was born, I was born screaming. It was the same for almost everyone I've ever heard of; if you weren't born screaming, then you were probably born with too much optimism.

Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas

For me, the middle ground doesn't exist. 

Paperweight by Meg Haston
