Courtney Peppernell Quotes

“It’s difficult to be the best version of yourself all the time. But perhaps life isn’t about that. You don’t have to always be in a good mood; you don’t have to always be sociable or productive. It’s about how much you try, even when it feels like life keeps flipping upside down.”

“My mind repeats all the mistakes I’ve made, like a bad movie reminding me of all the things that cause me so much doubt.

like sick animals, dying trees, and saving the bees.
What others think of you
is not one of these things.”

“There is beauty in the chaos of living.”

“We spend a lifetime with our feelings; try not to hurt those of others.”

“Words look different on pages than in your mind. On pages, they sit quietly, waiting to be read. But inside your head, they're screaming, angry, hurting, bleeding red.”

“You do not have to show your face to the world every single day. You are allowed a day off.”
