About This Quote

Sometimes you just have to turn off the lights, sit in the dark and see what happens inside of you. We spend our lives trying to please others and we often do not take care of ourselves. When we spend all of our time chasing after what others want from us, we often forget to just be. By putting on a happy face and trying to be someone that others want us to be, we forget who we really are inside.

We forget that we are still young and we still deserve the things we want. When we ignore what is inside of us and try to live our lives by the rules of others, we lose out on what life really has to offer us. Sometimes you just have to sit in the dark and see what happens inside of you.

You may not like what you find but it will be better than trying to live a life that you do not feel comfortable with.
