Five Quotes to Get You Through Tough Times

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

In my experience, I find that quotes can help you feel less lonely during life’s dimmest moments; reading something that fits your situation perfectly makes you feel that someone out there understands what you’re going through. Furthermore, the briefness of quotes allows for a quick way to make you feel just a little bit better. Here are my top five quotes to help you with any difficult time, and some GIFs to add a little brightness to a more serious topic.

 

1. Everything Can Heal

 “you look at me and cry

everything hurts

i hold you and whisper

but everything can heal”

-Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

 

2. You Are More Than You Think

“She is both a survivor and a warrior.”

Pierre Jeanty

 

3. Nothing is Impossible to Overcome

“Alice: ‘This is impossible.’

Mad Hatter: ‘Only if you think it is.’”

-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

 

4. Don’t Dwell on the Past

“When the devil keeps on asking you to look at your past, there must be something good in the future he doesn’t want you to see.” –unknown

 

5. Once You Can, Try Again

“never feel guilty for starting again”

-Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

 

I hope this helped, even if it just took your mind off of things for a moment. You can get through this!
