I get so god damn lonely and sad and filled with regrets some days. It overwhelms me as I’m sitting on the bus; watching the golden leaves from a window; a sudden burst of realisation in the middle of the night. I can’t help it and I can’t stop it. I’m alone as I’ve always been and sometimes it hurts…. but I’m learning to breathe deep through it and keep walking. I’m learning to make things nice for myself. To comfort my own heart when I wake up sad. To find small bits of friendship in a crowd full of strangers. To find a small moment of joy in a blue sky, in a trip somewhere not so far away, a long walk an early morning in December, or a handwritten letter to an old friend simply saying ”I thought of you. I hope you’re well.” No one will come and save you. No one will come riding on a white horse and take all your worries away. You have to save yourself, little by little, day by day. Build yourself a home. Take care of your body. Find something to work on. Something that makes you excited, something you want to learn. Get yourself some books and learn them by heart. Get to know the author, where he grew up, what books he read himself. Take yourself out for dinner. Dress up for no one but you and simply feel nice. it’s a lovely feeling, to feel pretty. You don’t need anyone to confirm it. I get so god damn lonely and sad and filled with regrets some days, but I’m learning to breathe deep through it and keep walking. I’m learning to make things nice for myself. Slowly building myself a home with things I like. Colors that calm me down, a plan to follow when things get dark, a few people I try to treat right. I don’t sometimes, but it’s my intent to do so. I’m learning. I’m learning to make things nice for myself. I’m learning to save myself. I’m trying, as I always will. .Charlotte Eriksson
About This Quote
I am Mother Teresa, who said: "I get so god damn lonely and sad and filled with regrets some days.

But I'm learning to breathe deep through it and keep walking." This is my way of expressing that even if you have been severely injured in a car accident, even if you have been raped or abused, or even if you have lost someone dear to you, you just have to keep moving forward every day, every hour, every minute. In this quote, Mother Teresa is describing how she deals with her past experiences in life. She is saying that no matter what has happened in life, she still moves forward and takes the good things in life for herself.
The reason she says she is "lonely" in this quote is because she has lost many friends in her life because they have died or left her. The word "lonely" means that she feels isolated from others when no one else understood her when she was going through hard times in life. The word "god damn" means that Mother Teresa feels extremely upset about all of these things happening in her life.
When she says that she feels "sad" in this quote, she is describing how sad she feels inside when these things happen to her. She says that there are certain periods of time when she feels so alone and sad because no one understands her pain at times like these. The word "regrets" means that Mother Teresa feels sad inside about the things that happened to her during those moments when no one was near her.
When Mother Teresa says that each day she gets up from the bus feeling very upset inside about all of those past events in her life, then this means that whenever Mother Teresa starts to feel down inside about all the bad things that have happened to her over the years, then this means that Mother Teresa must always try to make sure not to let these days defeat her. No matter what happens throughout each day, Mother Teresa must always try to make sure not to let tough days defeat her because a person who has a lot of difficult experiences throughout their life will be able to face their problems better by moving forward every day instead of staying stuck inside their sadness for an extended period of time
