Slow down. Stop trying to do everything now, now, now. Hold up the people behind you for all you care, feel them kicking at your heels but maintain your pace. Don't let anybody dictate your speed.

More quotes by Cecelia Ahern
I guess when you’re trying to find all the parts of yourself, it’s difficult to be with someone who’s already fully intact.
Cecelia Ahern
Everything in life has a place, and when one thing moves, it must go somewhere else.
Cecelia Ahern
Somewhere along the way, without me even noticing, I grew up Alex. For once, I couldn’t take advice from anyone around me about what I should or shouldn’t do. I couldn’t go running to mum and dad and I can’t compare my marriage to anybody else’s, we all follow our own rules.
Cecelia Ahern
Sighs and silences and avoided conversations are just as important as the things you do talk about.
Cecelia Ahern
The more you try to simplify things the more you complicate them. You create rules, build walls, push people away, lie to yourself and ignore true feelings. That is not simplifying things.
Cecelia Ahern
I always pushed myself. Whenever I felt I needed to stop, I made myself run faster.
Cecelia Ahern
So many objects, so many memories. Each was being labelled and packed away in bags just as it was in her mind. To be stored in an area that would sometime be called upon to teach and help in future life.
Cecelia Ahern
Love is not a theme. It's an atmosphere, a mood.
Cecelia Ahern
Her silence was worth more to her than a thousand words.In that silence,she had peace and clarity.Except during the night,when her own jumbled thoughts would keep her awake.
Cecelia Ahern
That was other thing i hated about kids they always said th exact things that deep dpwn you already knew, would never admit, and most certainly never wanted to hear.
Cecelia Ahern
It's like my garden, love. Everything grows. Including love. And with that growing everyday how can you expect missing her to ever fade away? Everything builds, including our ability to cope with it. That's how we keep going.
Cecelia Ahern
are you saying that the feeling of searching for a missing sock is like searching for love ?
Cecelia Ahern
As the rain falls and the sun shines, they grow, grow, grow minds so open, they go through life aware and accepting, seeing light where there's dark, seeing possibility in dead ends, tasting victory as others spit out failure, questioning where others accept. Just a little less jaded, a little less cynical.
Cecelia Ahern
Dreams should make you think, ‘If I had the guts to do it and I didn’t care what anybody thought, this I what I’d really do’.
Cecelia Ahern
I'm never overwhelmed or under it either just nicely whelmed. I'm OK. Nothing spectacular but sometimes special. I look in the mirror and see this medium average person. A little tired, a little sad, but not falling apart.
Cecelia Ahern
But where pain was, healing could come where loneliness was, new relationships could be formed where rejection was, new love could be found. It was a moment. And moments changed. She would have to live through the moment to get to the next.
Cecelia Ahern
What seems tragic now won't even be an issue in a few years time.
Cecelia Ahern
Some people say that you shouldn't operate from a place of fear but if there is no fear, how is there a challenge?
Cecelia Ahern
Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for christmas morning.Time can't be given.But it can be shared
Cecelia Ahern
Being the best was as equal to being in the middle, which was equal to being the worst. All were merely a state of being. It was how a person felt in that state and why they were in that state that was the important thing.
Cecelia Ahern
