Not everyone has to be the chosen one. Not everyone has to be the guy who saves the world. Most people just have to live their lives the best they can, doing the things that are great from them, having great friends, trying to make their lives better, loving people probably. All the while knowing that the world makes no sense but trying to find a way to be happy anyways. Patrick Ness
About This Quote

In this, the ultimate teen angst album, the protagonist of the album says “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” In other words, the greatest glory that we can bring to our lives is not trying to be perfect and always on the top of our games, but instead learning from our mistakes and trying to improve ourselves by making adjustments and taking calculated risks. We do not need to set out to save the world; we just need to be ourselves and try our best.
