If you hear a song that makes you cry and you don't want to cry anymore, you don't listen to that song anymore. But you can't get away from yourself. You can't decide not to see yourself anymore. You can't decide to turn off the noise in your head.

Jay Asher
About This Quote

The purpose of emotions is to guide us in our lives. Anxiety, fear, worry, anger, jealousy, and sadness are all emotions that we hear and hear again every day of our lives. We cannot get away from them. They will always be there because they help us survive in this world.

However, we must realize that the purpose of these emotions is not to make us miserable. We must learn to accept these emotions and accept ourselves at the same time.
