Quotes

Here are a few quotes I've collected or written, I like them or like what they stand for. 

“We're all a bunch of stupid, hungry, horny little goons just grabbing at shit hoping it'll press that little button in our brain that says ‘Okay, you're happy now’” -BoJack Horseman.

If you watch the show you'll see it's quoted in a really dark time for BoJack. I like it anyway because I think that when people boil down why they make the choices they do it's mostly because they're trying to feel something, in some cases it's happiness, in other cases it's something else.

“People ruin people I don’t wanna ruin you” -Zack Bryan 'From Austin'.

This quote kind of falls into the idea that states, hurt people hurt people and I think that's very true for most people. A lot of the time it goes unnoticed because when someone's hurting they're not normally asking the other person why they did that. What happened to get them to this point. I think most behavior is not excusable but I do think having an understanding of why can be consoledating for the hurt person. 

“…hadn't yet learned the lesson of breaking my own heart to demand better for myself.” -a close friend.

An important person in my life wrote this when she was explaining her last marriage. I think it's huge to have that realization, that yes you can love your person but when they're not treating you right, or there's many factors at play and you're miserable, you have to leave them. Her and I always say that "love is not enough," and that just means a good relationship requires more than just two people in love. 

“I don't want to become someone that im incapable of loving because the standards i've set for myself isn't there" -me.

I talk about my tattoos a lot but it's because they're relavent to everything that is me. I have a tattoo on my ribs that states "love myself" and I do my best to follow that mantra, this is just another way of expressing how to do that. 

“It's not about being happy! That's the thing; I'm just trying to get through each day. I can't keep asking myself: 'Am I happy?” -Diane Nguyen, 'BoJack Horseman.'

Diane goes through a huge depression in the show and she says this when she explains herself. I think that I just really resonate with this, I've been so worried about being happy that asking myself was just becoming negative for me. Then I kind of just got to this point where I had to stop asking and start doing.

I don’t remember when or what I said but I wrote down something like “its easy to mistake controlling behaviors for protectiveness when its coming from whats supposed to be a place of safety"

This was kind of a nod to controlling/manipulative/abusive relationships. It sort of explains how someone could fall into the trap of being controlled or abused. It's an understanding of why or how.
