Albert Camus quotes that heal my trauma ಥ_ಥ

“Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”

“I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.”

“You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”

“Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee? But in the end, one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”

“It is necessary to fall in love… if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.”

“Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

“Always there comes an hour when one is weary of one's work and devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.”

“We all carry within us places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others.”
