Doing Ok Quotes

“You’re lonely,” they say,
but it doesn’t scare me
anymore
for it teaches me,
and maybe that’s the biggest win from these years:
I don’t need anyone else to distract me from myself anymore,
like I always thought I would.
I don’t break mirrors anymore,
like I always thought I would.

I can finally stand myself,
and I never thought I would.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, You're Doing Just Fine

“It doesn't take much to convince yourself that you're doing okay, just some discretionary income and a regularity to your days.”
― Ling Ma, Bliss Montage
