Sensitive suffer more, but they love more and dream more. // Hurt an artist, and you’ll see masterpieces of what you’ve done.

Be committed, not attached. But more importantly, know the difference.


And when you choose a life partner, you’re choosing a lot of things, including your parenting partner and someone who will deeply influence your children, your eating companion for about 20,000 meals, your travel companion for about 100 vacations, your primary leisure time and retirement friend, your career therapist, and someone whose day you’ll hear about 18,000 times.
Intense shit.


I’ll always say I’m sensitive. I like how my emotions are open and ardent and passionate. I’ve never understood why feeling had to be such a private thing. We’re human, emotions aren’t some big news to the world. Feel, it’s okay to feel.


aseaofquotes:

Jonathan Tropper, This Is Where I Leave You

You can say sorry a million times, say I love you as much as you want, say whatever you want, whenever you want. But if you’re not going to prove that the things you say are true, then don’t say anything at all. Because if you can’t show it, your words don’t mean a thing.


Anyway, it doesn’t matter how much, how often, or how closely you keep an eye on things because you can’t control it. Sometimes things and people just go. Just like that


he takes me as I am
and loves me
into someone better. 
the freedom to grow,
with no reason to hide,
this is a man worth sticking beside.




There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.



Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
It matters that you don’t just give up.


Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.

When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through.

But someone kept telling me it was okay to feel. No matter how much it hurt. That our emotions would make us human, good or bad, and to never lose hope.


I’m pissed off. I’m pissed that amazing people are suicidal. I’m pissed that kids get cancer. I’m pissed that poor people can’t afford college. I’m pissed that soul mates don’t end up together. I’m pissed that people lie. I’m pissed that no one cares about the earth. I’m pissed that people are fake as fuck. I’m mad because this world is so fucked up and there’s nothing I can do about it.


Discover why you’re important, then refuse to settle for anyone who doesn’t completely agree.


Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being her






Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.’


It was like autumn, looking at her. It was like driving up north to see the colors



Love is excruciating, especially when you can feel it slipping through your fingers and there is nothing you can do about it.

I ruined myself for a lot of people that werent even worth it







You like someone who can’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.



Date yourself. Take yourself out to eat. Don’t share your popcorn at the movies with anyone. Stroll around an art museum alone. Fall in love with canvases. Fall in love with yourself.



Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?


I was so in love with you that I ignored how horribly you treated me.


Dont miss out on something that could be great just because it could also be difficult.

don’t date anyone who doesn’t want to hear your favorite song, watch your favorite movie, read your favorite book

aseaofquotes:

Langston Hughes, “Poem”







If you ever figure me out, please teach me who I am.





“When I was eight, I was confused about being called ‘bossy’ because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents. But the boys were not. When at 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media. When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams because they didn’t want to appear ‘muscle-y.’ When at 18, my males friends were unable to express their feelings; I decided that I was a feminist.” 

Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.


There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

Waking up in the morning is easier if you have someone to wake up for.


Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a something that’s meant to come.



If you cannot find a good companion to walk with, walk alone, like an elephant roaming the jungle. It is better to be alone than to be with those who will hinder your progress.





Sometimes, in order to move on, you got to find a new addiction to get over another.


Don’t waste your words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all.


Who were you before they broke your heart




I was the one who loved you even when you gave me thousands of reasons not to.



You stopped choosing me. The end.



Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after we’re gone

The less you respond to negative people the more peaceful your life will become.


Nothing is fair. Life isn’t fair. You’ll have ″friends″ that talk crap about you behind your back. You’ll care about somebody that isn’t interested in you in the slightest. You’ll get involved in your family problems. You’ll find a boy/girl that you give everything to, and they’ll forget you weeks later. You’ll lose things, you’ll miss things. You’ll see somebody that you were so close to but they’ll blank you because they treat you like a stranger. You’ll worry about school, exams, etc. Some nights, you’ll cry yourself to sleep because life isn’t how you planned it to be. You’ll make up perfect scenarios in your head to make you feel better and then realize they won’t come true. Arguments, yes, you’ll have plenty with them, mainly with the people you really care about. You’ll lose a relative and you’ll grieve, you’ll grieve so much. You’ll experience so much heartbreak because a boy/girl will turn out everything you didn’t expect them to be. You’ll get ignored, you’ll maybe even get rejected. You’ll get nasty comments from people who envy you. One day you’ll meet a boy/girl that will love you for who you are and what you do. Your family loves you, your friends love you. You’ll look through your camera photos and smile/laugh at all the memories and good times you’ve shared. You’ll make your lost/loved ones proud by trying your best in everything you do; they wouldn’t want to see you unhappy. Smile. One day, you won’t be able to sleep because your reality is so much better than your dreams. You’ll party/dance/sing so hard that you have no energy left. You have so much to look forward to, life has its downs, and at times it isn’t fair at all. Life will hurt you, it will test you. But remember you also have so much to smile and be happy about. Why spend your whole life feeling because something didn’t happen, or something went wrong? Always remember God is good and you have a bright future ahead of you, just smile :)


Well, we all make mistakes, dear, so just put it behind you. We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.



The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unloveable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren’t always easy to be around — and that’s okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren’t all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness.


here were always in me, two women at least. One woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.


Always make sure you find something to look forward to every day. A cup of coffee tomorrow morning, wearing your favorite sweater this week, a phone call from your family, knowing you’ll see your love on Friday. Having something to look forward to can mean all the difference between a shitty week, and a marvelous week.






You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.






If today ended in tears, you always have tomorrow, a bright new day will dawn, full of hope, a chance to right every wrong.


“There’s an awful lot in the way you feel.”





I fall, I rise, I make mistakes, I live, I learn, I’ve been hurt but I’m alive. I’m human and I’m not perfect but I’m thankful.





and the beauty of life is lost when you only look with your eyes.

michaelfaudet:

Teach Me by Michael Faudet

If I could be anything I wanted; I would be the one that you love.




Isnt it amazing how beautiful people are. Like just look at anyone and study them and their features and how their lips tort and eyes glisten and how their hair falls or sticks or lays. How their eyebrows flex and the way their arms fold, how expressive their hands are. The way their body moves and how their chest rises and falls so subtley with their pulse. People are beautiful even if we dont find them attractive. The fact that they’re a living being is unbelievably magnificent.

I look at everything from a long-term perspective. You can’t be shortsighted. There’s always room to breathe, change and alter the plan – I like to have a little bit of wiggle room – but it’s about focusing on work now.


just your friendly reminder, that life is right now, it’s happening right now, don’t forget to smile, laugh and really let every moment immerse you. Take opportunities, seize the day, don’t worry about tomorrow, tomorrow is never promised, what happened, already happened. Just enjoy yourself, If you can’t control it, don’t try to. Do what you love. Hug your family, laugh with your friends, eat amazing food, and go after what you love. Never live up to expectations, just go with it and hope for the best. You are okay, life is awesome, and you can do this. :)

I used the be the girl that begged someone to stay, now im just opening the door for whoever wants to leave my life


There are two reasons why we don’t trust people. First - we don’t know them. Second - we know them.

positive people with kind hearts.

Listen to me my beautiful little flower, all you need to do in life is find someone who enjoys waking up for you to give you water.

 Happy people don’t go around making people unhappy. People who are generally happy in life often want to spread that emotion like wildfire. So the next time someone tries to bring you down and ruin your day, remind yourself that people who are internally happy don’t behave that way. It’s not you, the problem is with them. Wish them peace and walk away.


I wish I could have stayed in your life, but I was too much and not enough at the same time.

I never could decide what was worse,
someone giving up on you
or being forced to give up on someone that doesn’t care

He ignores you but you like him. He does nothing yet you fall for him. You miss him, but he never thought about you.
I hate how the people who really get you are the ones you can never hold on to for very long. And the ones who don’t understand you at all stick around.

Because it doesn’t matter what people say, it’s what you think, it’s your mindset. If you believe it, it’ll be so.



Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.
in other words, just say it. Rejection is normal, if it happens you’ll be okay. Think of it as the universe making a decision for you.


Thank you for never actually being there
Because your absence has taught me to find my own way.


Two months later she walks into the party and his heart stops, for a split second he doesn’t recognise her and he thinks she’s the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. Then it hits him hard and breathlessly he says “I fucked up big time.

We’re all so desperate to be understood, we forget to be understanding.

There is always something left to love.



Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their own unique journey.

If you ever see a bad picture of yourself just think about sunsets
Have you ever tried to take a picture of a sunset with a crappy camera? It turns out like shit.  I mean that could be the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever seen in your life and the photo looks gross. 
That doesn’t mean the sunset  isn’t breathtaking, it just means the camera can’t contain it’s beauty.
You are a gorgeous motherfucking sunset never forget that


I fucking hate when I like a guy, and someone says that to me. How rude can you be? I don’t care if he isn’t the “cutest” boy ever, he doesn’t have to be. The fact that you don’t even know him, and you still said that. Fuck you. I like him for him. You might not think he’s cute, but you don’t see him the way I do. I think he’s perfect the way he is.



I don’t chase after people anymore. If they like spending time with me they will do so. If not, I’m content in my own company.

You can’t do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.

Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running - that’s the way to live.

Note to Self: You gotta do this for you. This is for you. This isn’t about anybody. Live for you. Honor you. Never lose sight of that.


oddlyenouqh:

Now THIS I can agree with.

My dad always told me if someone is talking badly about someone else to you, they’re most likely talking badly about you when you leave. Seriously the truest thing ever.

She was the ocean and I was just a boy who loved the waves but was completely terrified to swim.

Wait for someone who says, “Holy crap, how did I get so lucky?” when you walk in the door, absolutely exhausted from work at 6pm after being married for 30 years. Wait for that, it’s more than worth it.

Don’t be selfish. If you do not love the way her hair curls at the ends or her nose wrinkles when she laughs then let her go. If you don’t see her as a fucking masterpiece then let her go, because someone else will. Don’t be selfish. If you don’t love the way she sneezes or the way she dribbles the toothpaste down her chin when she brushes her teeth then let her go. If your heart doesn’t almost beat out of your chest when you wake up and the first thing you see is her soundly sleeping on your shoulder. Someone else would kill for that. Being with someone when you know you don’t love them is cruel. It’s not only cruel it’s holding them back from someone that could give them everything. Someone that feels waves breaking in their ribcage when they see her walk around the corner. Someone that has had the worst of days, but rainbows suddenly appear at the thought of her. Someone who hears the sound of her voice and it soothes the darkest of nightmares. If that is not you, let her go. She is wonder, she is magic, she deserves someone who believes that every single day, not just on certain days.


Date the girl whose hair is a mess and steals your t-shirts and kisses you in front of boys who look at her admiringly. Date the girl who wants to dance in the rain with you and make tea for you and make you laugh so hard you snort tea out your nose. Date the girl who cares so much that she can tell something is wrong just by looking at you. Date the girl who will wrap her arms around you for no reason and pay attention when you talk about the things you love, even if she doesn’t love them herself. Date the girl who looks like a lazy sunday afternoon instead of a saturday night. Yeah. Just date that girl.

I hope that even after two years,  you hear my name and cringe because you realize how good I was to you and how bad you fucked up


Three years later, a new girl sits cross-legged on your bed.
She tastes like a different flavor of bubblegum than you are used to.
She opens up a book that you had to read in high school, and a folded picture of us falls out of chapter three.
Now there are two unfinished stories resting in her lap.
Inevitably, she asks, and you tell her.
You say: I dated her a while back.
You don’t say: Sometimes, when I’m holding you, I imagine the smell of her vanilla perfume.
You say: She was younger than me.
You don’t say: The sixteen summers in her bones warmed the eighteen winters my skin had weathered.
You say: It’s nothing now.
You don’t say: But it was everything then.

-Some things are better left unsaid.

To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.

daily fucking reminder that you are allowed to want attention and that does not make you a bad person.


Call your mother. Tell her you love her. Remember you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside.

When we meet again, I’ll be another me and you’ll be another you, and if we can fit again, there is no other love that is quite as true.

This may be a sad chapter but you are not a sad story

You need to ignore what everyone else is doing and achieving. – Your life is about breaking your own limits and outgrowing yourself to live YOUR best life. You are not in competition with anyone else; plan to outdo your past, not other people.


Something good shall happen today, I manifest this to be a great week



It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit

Sometimes you have to stop worrying, wondering, and doubting. Have faith that things will work out, maybe not how you planned, but just how it’s meant to be.


I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.


it gave you an excuse to take me for granted. You think I’ll ALWAYS be here. But one day you’ll wake up and wonder where I went, when the truth is, I had been missing for quite awhile.

I am obsessed with feeling everything, in love with emotions. You could say I feel too much, but I say you feel too little. Life is meant to be experienced, to be lived, and darling I want it all.

In society, artists either starve, or sell out. There is no in between.



friendly reminder that coca-cola only sold 25 bottles during their first year, but they never gave up. now they sell over billions of bottles per year. my point is, even if life is shitty for you, don’t give up and be patient because it might end up turning into a big & great thing

I had choices but I chose you

I crave the side of you that you don’t show to anyone else.

Beautiful faces are everywhere but beautiful minds are hard to find.


He said to her, “who are you going to believe? The mirror, a photograph, or the eyes of the man who thinks you’re the most beautiful girl on the planet?

I’m the type of person who will watch an entire movie just for that one scene, listen to the whole song for that one melody, read an entire book for that one sentence, drive the long way for that one dip in the road. I think living is to enjoy every detail. The build ups, and the climaxes. Even the smallest ones.

While we loved each other we didn’t need words to make ourselves understood. But people don’t love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn’t.



I’m always all or nothing. What the fuck is half-baked, wishy washy, hang it to dry going to accomplish in my life? I’m either all encompassed, passionate or It doesn’t exist to me.

Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking and loving and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning.

…travel widely, eat adventurously, love passionately, dare with abandon, learm with a voracious appetite, risk being hurt, get far outside of your comfort zone


Being ‘bad’ is so played out; don’t be afraid to be a good woman.

Do not speak about your money in front of a poor person. Do not speak about your health in front of a sick person. Do not speak about your power in front of a weak person. Do not speak about your happiness in front of a sad person. Do not speak about your freedom in front of a prisoner. Do not speak about your children in front of an infertile person. Do not speak about your mother and father in front of an orphan. Because their wounds cannot bear more.


The best way to get along with people is not to expect them to be like you.

We mistake sex for romance. Guys are taught that pushing a girl up against a wall is romance. Sex is easy; you can do it with anyone, yourself, with batteries. Romance is when someone you like walks into a room and they take your breath away. Romance is when two people are dancing and they fit together perfectly. Romance is when two people are walking next to each other and all of a sudden they find themselves holding hands, and they don’t know how that happened.

The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap, I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful. And be generous.


She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cozy bed, and to love and be loved in return.

Not everyone can feel things as deeply as you. Most people, their feelings are … bland, tasteless. They’ll never understand what it’s like to read a poem and feel almost like they’re flying, or to see a bleeding fish and feel grief that shatters their heart…


His dark eyes took me in, and I wondered what they would look like if he fell in love.

Life isn’t that hard, just smile, and hope for the best. All you can do is be kind, have courage and be passionate about anything that gets your heart racing.
Be daring, get into trouble, let loose, take risks your entire life. There is no age to stop being curious and getting into a mess or two. Learn from them.
Feel, let yourself feel. Allowing yourself to be tender or excited only adds to the experience of life. LAUGH A LOT!! 
If you want it, fucking get it.
Never underestimate your instinct or gut feeling, it’s usually more spot on than you think. But also heed other’s advice, mothers, aunts, uncles,  or good friends know you better than you think, always take their concern and advice into consideration, it’s only for your betterment. 
and this is 6 but,
never box yourself into a mold in order to please anyone, you can’t fit an elephant into a rabbit hole.

Can i skip to the part in my life where i will wake up next to you? 

I don’t know what it is about you but I don’t want to lose it, because I’ll never be able to find it in anyone else

I miss how when you first read something sexual and dirty, it gave you that tingle of excitement that it was naughty. Now I see hard core porn on my dash and I scroll past like it was a picture of a cappuccino or something

Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me.

If a man expects a woman to be an angel in his life, he must first create heaven for her…angels don’t live in hell.


don’t dress like a hoe to go to the supermarket…the freezer aisle is cold

I spent so much time trying to convince one person I was worth something that I lost sight of what a gem I am of a person. I’m trying to get back to loving myself. I won’t stick around trying to prove it to someone else I’m worth something anymore. Either you recognize my value or you don’t.


When I fall in love with someone, I don’t feel love just for them; I start to love the daily life of that person, their passions, the street where they live, their family. even their pets.. and that’s why breaking up is so sad for me - I feel like I have to let go not only a person I deeply love, but also their personal “universe” made of their friends, their favorite songs, the ringtone of their cellphone


compliments about my looks are nice, but when people compliment me for my mind or my personality, that shit always means a whole lot more to me

Only be with someone who you think you can learn from. They should be smarter than you in certain ways so that you can continue to grow and be interested. Above all, you should undoubtedly be proud that you are with them.


If I want you, never worry about who wants me.



It wasn’t just me, and it wasn’t just him, it was what we were together that was the exception.

Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.


Never expect someone to respect your feelings because you respected theirs. Never expect someone not to hurt you because you would never hurt them.



Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.

When the erotic and tender are mixed in a woman, they form a powerful bond - a fixation.

Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.



My dear,
Let us be nothing,
Let us remain as nothing,
For nothing is the only thing that lasts forever.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless,—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
- C.S. LewisThe Four Love

There are two types of beauty. The one that smacks you across the face and is plastered on Magazine covers. And there is the type that grows on you. The one you don’t expect. The one that poets and authors write about. The eternal kind

stop trying to define yourself, be your own definition.

Pay close attention to people who don’t clap when you win.

being enthusiastic and happy about things you love is more important than being apathetic and snide. you will go so much farther in life spending energy on and talking about something you love than wasting energy on only complaining about or making fun of something you don’t. 
don’t focus on mocking others for being genuinely excited about something. focus on the things and people you love.


Money don’t impress a chick that got her own…

One thing I’ve learned about being human, is that when you feel, feel. Let it be felt, let it singe, and burn and writhe. Allow yourself to drown in it and sink in it. Give yourself that, reward yourself with that. To feel. But another that I have learned is to have it by the reins and know when to pull. Know when to stop, know when you can’t tread any longer. Allow it to saturate, but never let it be anything more than a temporary tattoo.


I love things of sensation. I love sensuality. I take great fascination to things of this realm. The taste of a lover on your tongue, the smell of birds of paradise bathed in the morning dew, the sight of the velvet moon, the touch of a lingering finger tracing your cheek, the sound of people murmuring as you feel yourself drift asleep at a party. The way your back arches and your body feels feline when being felt and experienced with your lover. How it feels to have warm drops of water fall onto your back after the long day. The smell of a match to the Marlboro your friend lights up. How it feels to run your fingertips through your hair. To laugh uncontrollably and to be filled with the present. Something of sensation, of experience and the simplicity of it all. It just fills me with this riotous ardor.

Give up defining yourself – to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

STAY EXCLUSIVE.
Don’t be everywhere.

Don’t fuck with just anyone.
Leave a lil mystery to your life.


But you, you’re special to me. When I’m with you I feel something is just right. I believe in you. I like you. I don’t want to let you go.








"Why are you single? A lot of guys are trying to date you." No, a lot of guys are trying to fuck me, there’s a difference.



Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand—relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.

your softness
is what keeps you
from breaking;
do not shed it.
it is your shield.



People become attractive over time as you get to know them. Someone who you once felt completely neutral towards can make your stomach do somersaults. It’s not that they were not good looking to begin with, it’s just that things happened which made your conscience ease up and your heart changed. Good character can contribute to how someone perceives you.


One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don’t choose your passions; your passions choose you

All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth

I think intelligence is totally subjective; it’s like sexiness.


Be someone’s Sunday, not Saturday night.


After a relation/friend ship ends or huge life change occurs, it is the most beautiful time. Time of reinvention and endless possibilities. Things must know death before they can ever know birth, and darkness before their eyes may grow accustom to the light. All life begins in darkness. And in water too. But primarily, from the darkness we all emerge. For this reason, I find it most interesting that near death experiences are often described as, ‘walking toward the light’. Balance perhaps?

This summer I want to see as many sun rises and sun sets as possible with the people I cherish the most.





Happiness is often associated with romantic love. I don’t think that’s right. Happiness is when your dog licks your face. Happiness is when the food in front of you makes your mouth water. Happiness is when you stay up late talking to an old friend. Happiness is when your mom says a bad joke by you laugh anyway. We need to stop associating happiness with love, and start associating happiness with life.


I appreciate effort. No matter how small, silly or irrelevant, I appreciate effort.

I don’t know what’s worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you’ve always wanted to be, and feel alone.

When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow.


The best kind of humans are the ones who stay.

There are people who dislike you because you do not dislike yourself.


be kind, be open minded, be respectful, be understanding

Be the one who looks for the best in people.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.

as dumb as this sounds I think it would be really nice as a date or like a casual ‘hey I like you lets hang out’ to just lay on the floor with someone and play each other’s favorite songs and just talk.

Come on and kiss me, Tell me you miss me

you have to love yourself enough to not tolerate disrespect, disloyalty, and wishy washy feelings. If a person doesn’t value you, move on.

I am the girl who prefers to spend her Friday night curled up with her pillow, reading a good novel, and I am also the girl who likes to go out on a Saturday night and dance until the DJ plays his last song. I am the girl who wants to wear beat up converses and an oversized sweatshirt, and I am also the girl who owns over sixty dresses and too many shoes to count. Why did it become okay to say one is better than the other? Because I am all of that.



Life is so good tbh. I’m so content with everything. I’m happy I woke up, I’m happy I got to see my family, I’m grateful I have people who care about me, I’m happy I have a pet whos so cool, I’m happy I ate food and had clean water and good health. Life is so good.

No one will ever understand the relationship you have with someone, no matter how bad or amazing it is.

I want to be set free. I want to go somewhere beautiful and just take the clothes on my back and my camera. I want to camp out somewhere in nature and make it my own. I want to able to watch every sun rise with no distractions. I want to make art through photos. I want to fall asleep in field of flowers. I want to go to sleep to a sandy black beach and wake up to a crisp moist sun rise. I want to go live.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.


If he doesn’t respond to your texts. But decides to text you at 10pm telling you how gorgeous you are, Do not respond.
If he tells you he misses you, and he still loves you even though he’s only hurt you time and time again, nod and walk away.
If he says he likes you a lot, but won’t commit, cut him off and move on.

If he made you cry, yet again. Don’t let him do it another time.
Don’t waste your time on boys who only use you when it’s convenient for them. Do not give them that convenience. You are not 7/11, you’re a human who truly deserves to be valued and respected. Know when to cut him off, and move forward, and focus your time onto something beneficial for you. You really deserve that. Know your worth, add taxes and don’t give any discounts. If he wants you, he’ll sweep you up without a second thought, and treat you the way you deserve.

-You’re worth a lot more than he gives you credit for. 



I have a new little dream where I get a bunch of young artists and writers and we buy an old commercial building and turn it into studio spaces and we all constantly bounce ideas off of each other and work on poems and novels and zines and painting and drawing and weaving and installation pieces and all sorts of art. But it’d be pretty cheap. And not pretentious at all. And nobody would be allowed to be mean. And you don’t have to be in art school or college or have a degree. A place for a bunch of passionate young people to grow together and feel like they can still succeed without any sort of expensive background

I don’t care that they stole my idea . . I care that they don’t have any of their own

Falling for women is easy. Their entire physique is captivating, their hair, tender hands, beautiful smiles; the sound of soft voices, sometimes raspy in the morning, but often calm and sweet. The idea of soft lips against your own, and a kind touch upon your skin sending goosebumps across every inch of your body. Women are like magic.


Life is too short to sit around and wait for indifferent people to make up their minds about how they feel about you.

You don’t have to wait for something ‘meaningful’ to come into your life so that you can finally enjoy what you do. There is more meaning in joy than you will ever need. The ‘waiting to start living’ syndrome is one of the most common delusions of the unconscious state.

 If I wrote a book, would you read it?

I believe we loved each other. I believe it was pure. I believe it was the most human and most vulnerable I have ever been. And with all human things, they fall apart. And they ache and dissolve. But I believe in what we were. I believe it was real. I will never forget how real it was.

Ignoring your passion is slow suicide. Never ignore what your heart pumps for. Mold your career around your lifestyle not your lifestyle around your career.

I would rather die of passion than of boredom.


Have fun, love passionatley, give endlessly, laugh, cry, scream, dance, sleep, run, be reckless, be peaceful, kiss, taste, punch, kick, you are a wonderful being. Love it and lap it up.

You are beautiful because you let yourself feel, and that is a brave thing indeed.

Isn’t it weird that in 20 years some of us could be married, some of us could be famous and some of us could be dead.


My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.

This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.

You’re hurt right now. You’ve been trying to find a way to grab his attention but you just seem to not be able to anymore. You need to move on but you don’t want to because he made you feel amazing. He made you feel that you were his world, that you were the most important person that ever walked in his life. You don’t want to give up because you’ve been through too much and you aren’t ready to let go, but he did. He left, let go like you never meant a thing to him. He was so cold. He never loved you or cared about you. Why are you trying to stay when he’s already gone?

ii. Sometimes, you have to walk away from what you want and find what you really deserve.
iii. Sometimes, acting like an adult and thinking like an adult could bring out something positive in your outlook in life. Try to think out of the box sometimes. Get out of your comfort zone. Try new things.
iv. Don’t be scared to cut off hateful, disrespectful, and disloyal people. They don’t deserve you. You have to know your worth.
v. Kid, remember this: Whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you. Don’t let them get into you. If someone tried to bring you down, it’s because you are at the top. They won’t bring you anything good so just ignore them.
vi. The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

I wish I could hurt you the way you’ve hurt me, but I could never be so cruel.

Have you ever just looked at someone and thought, “I really love you”. They’re just talking or humming or watching a movie or reading a book or laughing or something, and there’s something about them in that moment that makes you think, “I just really love you.

Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

Make the first move, tell people how you feel, stop being so scared of rejection, stop feeling so engulfed with thoughts that aren’t even yours, and stop wasting your fucking time.


Part of the attraction is that older men/younger women are so complementary to each other. She does not compare her career success to his, and he does not compare his physical appeal to hers. Each are superior in their own realm.

“I’m sorry for every word I wrote to change you, I’m sorry for so many things. I couldn’t see you when you were here and, now that you’re gone, I see you everywhere.”Ruby Sparks (2012)



You can do it. You are brave and you are loved.

Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just … start.

There’s nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.

People with higher creativity are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder because they are more likely to feel alone with their ideas.




When you focus on life, on enjoying and connecting with other people, that’s when work comes. When you focus on work, you can never work. I’m always going through waves of that.

I love her, heart and soul. She is everything to me. And yet she is nothing like the women I dreamed of, like those ideal creatures whom I worshipped as a boy. She corresponds to nothing I had conceived out of my own depths. She is a totally new image, something foreign, something which Fate whirled across my path from some unknown sphere. As I look at her, as I get to love her morsel by morsel, I find that the totality of her escapes me. My love adds up like a sum, but she, the one I am seeking with desperate, hungry love, escapes like an elixir. She is completely mine, almost slavishly so, but I do not possess her. It is I who am possessed. I am possessed by a love such as was never offered me before—an engulfing love, a total love, a love of my very toe-nails and the dirt beneath them—and yet my hands are forever fluttering, forever grasping and clutching, seizing nothing.

Men aren’t stupid, and you don’t need a complicated set of rules to find a good one who loves you. Here’s the only rule you need: if a man loves you, he will do anything he can to keep you around. Anything.



p.s. we always tend to over romanticize people in our minds. But in actuality, they’re not nearly as beautiful and wonderful as they seem to be in our minds. In fact, absolutley everyone, even celebrities and the prettiest models or whatever, are painfully ordinary. It’s our minds that fabricate them to be far more than they really are. We’re all just people. Don’t hype them up to what they really aren’t. Cause chances are, you’re only deceiving yourself

You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.

I thought that I deserved better, now I know I did.

I have the deepest affection for intellectual conversations. The ability to just sit and talk. About love, about life, about anything, about everything. To sit under the moon with all the time in the world, the full-speed train that is our lives slowing to a crawl. Bound by no obligations, barred by no human limitations. To speak without regret or fear of consequence. To talk for hours and about what’s really important in life.

And I think it’s time to give up on you.
-I should have a long time ago



maybe I feel too much. maybe everything will always matter to someone like me.

Difficult relationships come into our lives for a reason. No one would choose them, certainly. But if we let them, they can teach us how to be flexible with others and more forgiving.

I get unbelievably affectionate when I’m half asleep. 

You know what bothers me? When I see a person, usually a girl, who’s had plastic surgery and I express how gorgeous I think she is (not because of her surgeries, I’m not always aware of that anyways) and some butthead, usually a girl, butts in and goes “oh but she’s had work done though” like that’s supposed to make me think less of her. No. Go away. I want to appreciate this person’s beauty in the present time we’re in. The past doesn’t matter unless they want it to. I don’t want to taste your bitterness. Girls, we can’t tear each other down like dis.

You must learn her.
You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.
You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
And, this is how you keep her.

She was like fire in that she ruined everything. I was like water in that I also ruined everything, but especially her

A sweet tongue,
A dirty mind,
A playful heart
And a loving soul.
Wouldn’t that be an amazing combination?


I used to want to be in a relationship where the other person was scared to lose me. I’m realizing now that I want the exact opposite. I want to be with someone who has no fear about losing me, and who knows that no matter what I will be there for them, and love them. I want my love to reassure them that they can come to me with anything knowing that I’ll not have thought once about abandoning them.

Sometimes you need to burn bridges to stop yourself from crossing them again.


Most heartless people have a heart, they’ll just do anything to protect their heart even if it means that they have to break yours.

To me, a man is someone who is brave enough to love, and let himself be loved.

There’s no bad consequence to loving fully, with all your heart. You always gain by giving love.

So therefore I dedicate myself, to my art, my sleep, my dreams, my labors, my suffrances, my loneliness, my unique madness, my endless absorption and hunger because I cannot dedicate myself to any fellow being.

Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.

Many people thought he was mad and stupid for doing so because the paint was toxic, never mind that it was obvious that eating paint couldn’t possible have any direct correlation to one’s happiness, but I never saw that. If you were so unhappy that even the maddest ideas could possible work, like painting the walls of your internal organs yellow, than you are going to do it. It’s really no different than falling in love or taking drugs. There is a greater risk of getting your heart broken or overdosing, but people still do it everyday because there was always that chance it could make things better. Everyone has their yellow paint.

I’ve never loved so viciously, so morbidly, so ravenous. I’ve never loved like sweat and lust were smeared on my lips and fingers shoved down my throat. Never loved like my knuckles were raw, and my blood was on the drywall. I’ve never loved like sitting in a tub as the water turned cold, never loved like the smell of gasoline at 3am on a getaway. I never saw it coming, I never thought I could love like that.

And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you’re there?

 I thought about you today and I thought about the things you used to say

It’s better to love someone who’s far and craves to be with you, than to love someone who’s near yet doesn’t even care to see and talk to you


Don’t be arrogant, because arrogance kills curiosity and passion.

I found her most beautiful not when she was all fancied up, but when she wasn’t. When she was lying on the carpet, her hair all a mess, laughing about something that happened. When she wasn’t trying to impress anyone, and had taken down that wall she built for most people. That’s when I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

Pornography hurts us by stirring desires that it cannot satisfy, like offering a starving person only the smell of food. It offers arousal with no cost. Sex in the real world always involves giving, not just getting. It involves relationship and friendship and intimacy, but pornography separates the reader’s arousal from those noble, sanctifying contexts.
-Emily Whitten on Fifty Shades of Grey 


Silence is no weakness of language.
It is, on the contrary, its strength.
It is the weakness of words not to know this.

It is okay to want your own happiness. It’s okay to care about yourself the most. You are not obligated to sit there and smile and swallow every bit of shit everyone heaps on you. You are more than furniture, you’re more than window dressing, you’re not their shiny toy. You’re human, and you have the right to say ‘That was shitty of you.’ You have a right to protest your own mistreatment and set boundaries for respectful interactions. The rest of the world doesn’t realize you have this right, and they will act offended and appalled when you exercise it, but it is yours.

Me: goodnight moon
Moon: I cannot sleep, for each fragment of dream is but a tease for fleeting moments that can never be
Me: alright


I make hasty decisions, I rush into things sometimes, but I’ve never regretted it at all. I think if something feels right just go with it.

Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, so what.

You choose to be happy. You could be surrounded by hatred but if you choose to be happy, hell no one can change that


don’t trust college kids. I threw a party w plenty of food/drinks shit even weed and I wake up and you know what’s missing? my pineapple. who went to the back of my fridge and said imma take all this pineapple. damn son. take the free alcohol not my pineapple man…

Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.
Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more.
You’re doing just fine.

You threw her away. You threw away the girl that would do anything and everything for you. You threw away the girl that gave her all and trusted you with it. You threw away the girl that put her whole self into being there for you. You threw away the girl that shut every other person out in her life because she told herself she couldn’t trust them. You threw away the girl that sees the entire world in you. You threw away the girl that went through hell just to be with you. You threw away the girl that was willing to wait as long as it took until she could call you hers. You threw away that girl that still wanted you even when you treated her as if she was nothing. You threw away the girl that spent months hoping you two could be together eventually. You threw away the girl that stays up at night, wondering if you’re okay. You threw away the girl that continued to do so much for you even though she got nothing in return. You threw away the girl that didn’t listen to the bad things that others said about you. You threw away the girl that would do anything in the world for you. You threw her away. And guess what? You lost her.

You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known- and even that is an understatement.



Eventually she realizes, that she should always be a first. Her friend helps her feel better. Helps her and motivates her telling her she should Never be an option. So she moves on and learns to love herself. And she grows, and eventually she finds someone who loves her completely and wholly and with the purest intentions. Eventually, the boy she fell for, becomes a distant memory and she’s okay.



You think you “played” me BUT, who ended up losing? I mean what did I lose? A boy that didn’t appreciate what I did for him? What did you let go? A girl that would go out her way just to please you and someone that rode with you through thick and thin. A girl who loved you regardless of your flaws (trust me there was a lot). You can easily be replaced, but a girl like me? Good luck finding a girl who put up with you like I did. Sorry, you played your damn self.

My dad encouraged us to fail. Growing up, he would ask us what we failed at that week. If we didn’t have something, he would be disappointed. It changed my mindset at an early age that failure is not the outcome, failure is not trying. Don’t be afraid to fail.


I never wanted you to be anything but honest with me.
-even if the truth could kill

When they say that I have a big nose I say "well, you should see my heart. And my butt"

I don’t give a fuck if you hurt my feelings, just do it. To be honest, I’ll be even more hurt if you don’t tell me since you think that I can’t handle the truth in the first place. I don’t want you to sugarcoat every little detail and make me read between the lines. I have too many people like that in my life already and I hate it. Even if I don’t listen to you, I still want to know what’s up. Be real with me, I’ll get over it.


I would rather sleep on your chest than a hundred pillows

The biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman’s love with no intention of loving her.



She was desperate and she was choosey at the same time and, in a way, beautiful, but she didn’t have quite enough going for her to become what she imagined herself to be.

esenciia:
She moved on and I feel sorry for you, because she overlooked your flaws, your temper, your selfishness, your inability to love anyone but yourself. She could have anyone in the world, but she still chose you every time. All you are now is a crease in her past, a scar on her chest, a memory that fades faster than a photograph of you in a sealed box, hidden. Maybe now she will fight for someone who loves her, instead of someone who sucks the life out of her, never satisfied, even with her beating heart in his greedy hands.

(idiom) Only the French would have such a way to describe beauty. A wonderful slang expression, it literally means “pretty and ugly” but describes the type of feminine beauty that is human, and not manufactured by plastic surgeons. It’s a kind of fascinating quirkiness implying charisma, a face you want to keep looking at, even if  you can’t decide whether it is beautiful or not. (via damsqo)

My brain during the day: Potato, potato, ching chong tomato
My brain at night: I wonder why the Earth was placed exactly where it is and allowed us to have a perfect climate to sustain human life


I’m always genuinely happy for my friends and people in general who end up in good relationships. It really is something to praise because finding a good partner you have a genuine and beautiful connection with is really hard. And if you see someone happy and with someone who makes them happy you should really congratulate that because props to them for finding that person and making it work

I guess we’ve both got a thing for playing with fire

Go for someone who is proud to have you. Not because you’re pretty, but because they value you as a person.

We romanticize people in our head so much to the point where they actually don’t exist

Nouvelle Vague par Andreas Larsson pour Candy No.6

The people who are meant to be in your life will always gravitate back towards you, no matter how far they wander.

You know those moments, when you just know you’ve made a memory you will always remember? It could be something mundane or boring like driving in a car at night, listening to good music with good people and the ambiance and feeling of that exact moment just leaves an indent on you and you just think;I’m going to remember this forever.



Oh, so women can’t dress how they want because men can’t control their sexual urges? When dogs can’t control their sexual urges, we cut off their balls.

Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.

If they miss you, they’ll call. If they want you, they’ll say it. If they care, they’ll show it. And if not, they aren’t worth your time.


How silly is it, that we sit in front of computer screens whining about heartbreak, when there are children without a bed who only wish they knew what it felt like to be held and loved

Find life experiences and swallow them whole. Travel. Meet new people. Go down some dead ends and explore dark alleys. Try everything. Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life.

don’t date someone that promises you forever. date someone who acknowledges that life happens, that people change, that things may get in the way. date someone who despite knowing all of that, tries their hardest for your relationship. 

i like wearing lipstick because you leave marks on literally everything omg. kiss a boy’s cheek? my boy now. drink out of a cup? my cup forever. don’t even think about having coffee out of that thing. it’s like marking your territory


can we please stop praising stupidity, and start valuing good character? valuing honesty, respect, loyalty, humility, love, charity, patience, kindness, empathy, integrity and intelligence? I think our future children deserve that. 

After women, flowers are the most divine creation.

It’s all right to love someone who doesn’t love you back, as long as they’re worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.

I want you to drunk text me. I want you to think about me. Please 

Date someone who meets you half way. Date someone who brings you a glass a water when they get themselves one. Date someone who makes sure you don’t spend money on ridiculous things. Date someone your ex hates and your mom loves. Date someone who’d rather spend a Friday night watching movies, than out with 50 people they barley even talk to. Date someone who sleeps on your chest and leaves a little puddle of drool. Don’t date someone who makes you leave oceans of tears.
-At the end of the day it’s the little things.


It’s funny how someone can be such an integral part of your life, like you laugh at the same jokes and eat your ice cream cones the same way and share your toys and dreams and everything but your heartbeats, and then one day - nothing. You share nothing. It’s like none of it ever happened.
 think about me sometimes 

People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.

Surround yourself with people who have dreams, desire and ambition; they will help you push for and realise your own.
