I don't care if nobody appreciates what I do, I appreciate what I do, that matters to me

None of us understand what we’re doing but we do beautiful things anyway.

I want to be with you,
it is as simple,
and as complicated as that.

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

Leave who you were. Love who you are. Look forward to who you will become.

I will spend more time with myself in this lifetime than anyone else. Let me learn to be the kind of person I would like to have as a friend.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

Bring your words and bring your art.

Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s.

the sex is cool, but if i can’t hit you up when i’m emotional and discuss my feelings with you then you don’t deserve my body.

my mindset is changing and i just don’t want to be around certain things or people anymore

run the risk. if it works out, happiness. if not, wisdom.

everything is temporary. that don’t excuse nothing.

relationships are about helping each other grow and that involves emotional labor on both parts both big and small things. if you know your partner has some sort of anxiety issue or w/e sending “hey i’ll be busy today i’ll text you when i can love you” will literally absolve so many issues in less than 30 seconds. but you freaks up here seem to think that caring about someone and catering to them (to a certain degree) is weird and unhealthy. and you wonder why you have no good relationships romantic or platonic.

i think one of the hardest things to acknowledge is that small steps are still steps of progress. you have to give yourself credit for the minutes you go without crying, and then when those minutes turn into hours and days and weeks and eventually, you can’t even remember the last time you cried at all. they seem like nothing, but the only reason you’ve made it through the last few months is because you made it through those few minutes. so give yourself credit for the small steps, because you wouldn’t have made it to the big ones without making it through the small.

you deserve to be loved without having to hide the parts of yourself that you think are unlovable

i don’t even care if this comes off as cocky, i’m pretty damn close to the whole package:

i’m intelligent, passionate, driven, empathetic, i can cook, and i look damn good.

whoever ends up with me will be lucky, and i’ll be lucky because they will be the whole package too. anybody who doesn’t see you as the whole package isn’t worth your time.

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.

it does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. what matters is that you are flowering.

the greatest lessons you will ever learn; how to love someone without trying to own or belong to them, and how to let go gracefully of the things and the people that hurt you.

i do not exist to impress the world. i exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.

the capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. it may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. it is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person – without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. they allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other

there are two people you’ll meet in your life. one will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that pique their interest. the other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe fold corners of you that inspired them most. you will meet these two people; it is a given. it is the third that you’ll never see coming. that one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book

self care is also being honest with yourself about your negative habits and mistakes. it’s also taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. self care is diverting from a negative space to a positive one. creating light and balance. blooming. watering your own flowers. being gentle but honest with yourself.

so take care.

be open with your love and loud with your laughter. life is so much brighter when lived genuinely

Let's go for breakfast somewhere new, one of those quaint spots with books and plants in strange places

I don't care about seeming appealing to men I will never want.

I'm always thinking of the next place I can be, the next thing, idea, I can explore, the next thing I can learn.

Love cannot be put away for a more suitable time, love disregards convenience.

Some of the best libraries and book stores are in France, I need to scoop a babes with me and explore every single one we can manage

I think I've met the man who will ruin my life and have me tweeting 'lol' at 5:35am, and posting quotes on Instagram

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a great book, written by Oscar Wilde, about a man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty

So many will go searching for Pokemon but won't go searching for themselves

Best way to cut people off who are harmful to your health - because that's essentially what it is, harmful, is to do it unannounced.



i really cannot stress enough how important it is to surround yourself with good positive people that are always going to uplift, motivate and bring out the best in you.

find someone who pays attention. who runs their fingers over your every scar; and asks where each one came from. find someone who knows how you like your coffee; what song makes you want to roll the windows down and slam on the gas pedal. find someone who takes in your smallest details; who notices the things you thought no one ever would.

and then…when you find them…

be their someone, too.

there’s so much intimacy in understanding. someone who doesn’t understand you is not going to know how to love you because they don’t know who you are.

i really do believe that words are one of the last forms of magic.

 (lana del ray)

the lesson will repeat itself until you learn from it.

my mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

‘You’re a likable person.’
Ah, but I’d rather be loved.

I’d love to, but only with you

There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I promise.

You were the lie that I most believed

Some people have been hurt in their past. So don’t just tell them you love them, show them why they should believe

The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness

There is no small act of kindness. Every compassionate act makes large the world

I want to know you. You seem like someone worth knowing. Every day I feel like I’m surrounded by people with hard edges and sour faces but I get the sense that you’re different. Too often people seem to think that they have the answers to everything. Their faces are trapped in permascowls and they can’t be bothered with anything besides their own narcissism. You aren’t like that. You still ask questions. You’re still looking for the answers

No matter how busy someone is, if they love you and care they will find a way to make time for you. Even the smallest text message or quickest phone call can say a thousand words

Some fall in love with emptiness in the hope that they can be the one to fill the void

You have every fucking right to use anger as a fuel to make a change

Recovery is noticing you don't need to do destructive things as coping mechanisms, recovery is fighting demons constantly, and winning.

Don't fucking pretend you care, I see through that shit.

All that love, take it. Feel it. Let it guide you.

I'm not sorry you can't forget me

Just wanna spend my life travelling, trying new things, meeting new people, endless exploration, reading more books, sitting on faces, etc

So many beautiful distractions these days

Pain taught me everything I know, love is still teaching me new things


You must know how to read books, you must know how to read nature, these two will teach you to learn people

Is not having anyone you want to drunk text an achievement I think it is

Buy yourself new underwear and take hundreds of pictures of yourself

Cannot wait to be by the ocean, with my books, fruit, sweet warm air, some blunts, and an endless supply of rum

I only know how to talk to people face to face now, I have forgotten the art of messaging & calls due to lack of consistency on my part

Things seem to go better for me when I keep them to myself until they are concrete, when nothing can stop them from coming to fruition.

*goes to the gym* *picks up a pizza on the way home*

"that's the thing about travelling alone, you feel you have to document everything otherwise it's just a dream and you have no evidence"

Whatever you're putting off doing, get it done, relaxing can wait, friends who understand can wait, everything, put it on hold, and prosper.

It's actually my favourite thing sitting in a restaurant secretly watching people on their awkward 1st dates, the body language is amusing



intelligence is having mental/emotional skills that extend beyond the classroom and enrich your life, and lives of others, in important ways

I used to fear not finding what I was looking for, until I became what I was looking for.

You're allowed to let money make you happy without it being the only thing that makes you happy

My love turned you into an artist, a poet, a writer.

Knowing yourself lets you understand others

I felt sad so I bought 25 books.

beautiful sunsets, flowers, laughing until my stomach aches, sharing my favourite songs, watching crappy TV, reading you my favourite poems

If you don't make your life cute nobody else will!!!!

I need polaroids taken of me in cute lingerie.



You know those people you don't really know but you know if you knew them you would be great friends and do cool shit together

People: what's your skincare routine? Me: crying

I realised people who actually listen, I mean listen with care, are rare. Keep 'em

You need to experience the bad to know what good tastes like.

The most attractive thing is a man who knows what he wants from life, somebody who is motivated but also feeds your growth and motivation.

What's wrong? and what are you drinking about it?


Reminder: You deserve friends who treat you with love and respect. You deserve friends that listen to you. You deserve friends that try to understand your feelings and respect them. You deserve positive and healthy friendships. Don’t settle for less.


Sometimes self care is studying for that test. Sometimes it’s cleaning your room. Sometimes it’s having that conversation you’re afraid of having, confront that person you’re afraid to confront. Sometimes it’s not just wrapping yourself up in a blanket and relaxing. Sometimes instead, it’s taking action against the problem.









night time is for listening to really good music, warm showers and impulse texting the person you like

trying to make me jealous is the worst way of attempting to get my attention because ill just assume you don’t actually like me that much and that you’d be happier w/ someone else so ill leave you alone because i don’t like competing for affection and wish you the best in whoever you pursue instead

Black tea

Think black tea makes you feel good? You’re right. It’s been proven to help you de-stress fast. It also helps eliminate bad breath. Plus medical research indicates that it lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and reduces bad cholesterol.

Green tea

Want to stay slim, trim and beautiful? The antioxidants in green tea just might slow signs of aging, prevent the flu and raise your metabolism. More dramatically, it’s being shown to prevent and slow cancer, and help with arthritis and bad cholesterol too.

Oolong tea

This one’s known as a fat-buster in China, and science is indicating that it does indeed speed up your metabolism, burn fat and block fat absorption! Use it to fight expanding waistlines, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

White tea

Science is saying that white tea might be more effective than even green tea at preventing cell damage, shrinking cancerous tumours and stopping the growth of cancer cells. Plus it’s becoming the new cosmetic fix for aging skin. Beautiful!

Pu’erh tea

Traditional Chinese medicine prizes Pu’erh as a wonder tea. It’s said to aid digestion, cleanse the blood and help with weight loss. Studies in Europe are also saying it busts cholesterol as effectively as some medications.

Rooibos tea

It’s said that rooibos helps you recover from hangovers, and that it could slow dementia. Plus there’s evidence that it fights skin cancer and boosts the immune system. And it’s supposed to help with insomnia!

Maté tea

Yerba maté is a fabulous stimulant, without the jitters. It’s also full of antioxidants, so there’s scientific speculation that it could have anti-cancer properties, help stimulate the immune system and protect against disease.

Herbal tea

Herbs, spices, fruits and flowers have long been used in traditional medicine to cure everything from headaches, stomach bugs and colds to stress and insomnia. The power of the tea depends on its ingredients.

picture being with the girl you love for the rest of your life. meeting her, dating, skipping class to go to the seaside on nice days, just doing all the fun things that you should when you’re young and in love.

picture moving in together, the thrill when you get your keys and the excitement you both feel when you walk in for the first time and know you’re walking into YOUR appartment.

going furniture shopping, arguing over which colour scheme would look best in your bedroom and which sofa you should buy.

(she wants the ugly one, she says it has ‘character’. you think it’s just ugly, but the light in her eyes when you agree to buy it means more than getting a nice couch.)

baking muffins and cakes together, not without getting flour all over both of you, and going door to door greeting your neighbours, “hi, me and my girlfriend just moved in to the flat downstairs,” and they respond with smiles and offers for tea and biscuits, or showing you around, “look out for mary in the bottom flat, she’ll try to set you up with her grandson!”

(granted, mary next door tries to set you up with her grandson, but once you introduce her to your girl, she loudly says that she wouldn’t want to break up such sweethearts. she’s lovely really, promises to make you both sweaters.)

picture going on holidays together and not having to part ways when you come back. shaking the sand out of your clothes, hanging up all the magnets and postcards all over your tiny kitchen, laughing and kissing all the freckles on her face brought out by the sun.

during the summer going on hikes, and roadtrips, and picnics, and camping, and community barbeques, and garden parties, and long walks, to forests and seasides and parks.

things I want to do with u

• spoon
• make grilled cheese
• watch dumb movies
• make a blanket fort
• maybe kiss or something
• take selfies
• hold hands
• dance to cute music
• go for walks outside

I pray that September, October, November, & December are all months full of growth, blessings, productivity, new doors open & opportunities.

eventually you’ll end up where you need to be, with who you’re meant to be with, and doing what you should be doing. you gon be alright fam

Did I need it? No. Did I buy it? Yes.

things worthy of investment: leather jackets, good lingerie, perfume, foundation, your dreams 

Like, if no ones gonna read it, you should still write it.

If no ones gonna see it, you should still do it.

If no ones gonna hear you, you should still say it.

You’re not measured by how people react to you.

romantic love isn’t everything. love comes in many forms. when he bought you coffee. when she complimented your outfit. platonic love is just as good. friend love is good love too.

understand that people will leave your life, you can’t fall apart every time it happens.

can my life be a dreamy french movie with roses and moonlight and vintage perfume and art im tired

i’m never going to stop being unconditionally nice to people. even if i disagree with someone or don’t like them personally, kindness is crucial and the scariest thing in the world is the absence of it. loving the unloveable is my mantra. i will be torn down for it and ridiculed for it, i will be disliked by some and even hated by others, some will try and break me, but i don’t care, i’m never going to resort to anything but love. it’s the hard route but it’s necessary. all of you can always count on me to embrace you with open arms, an open mind, and an open heart. i will love you with all of my being even if we have a bad past or have never spoken a word to one another. if you want to feel cared for and listened to, come talk to me. i won’t leave and i won’t turn my back. i might make mistakes sometimes but i’ll do my best. forgiveness is important. doing this kills me sometimes, but if i positively impact one life by being this way, then it will all be worth it.

when an artist wants to show you their art

or a writer wants you to read what they’ve written

it’s quite often an expression of trust

because a poem or a story or a painting are often things that come from the heart

little pieces of the artists themselves

and if they’re willing to share it with you

you should appreciate it

one day you will be happy. not constantly, but it will become a theme in your life. you will have days where you feel sad and that’s normal. but eventually you can wake up with a smile on your face even if there isn’t a reason. you’ll see yourself through a clearer lens. you’ll think of the best case scenarios. you’ll find people who you can share your happiness with. you’ll settle into your own body and mind with a sense of security.

In case no one’s told you lately:

• You’re not a burden.
• It’s okay to be struggling.
• It’s okay to tell people you’re struggling.
• Please tell people you’re struggling.
• Don’t suffer in silence. Tell someone. Get help.
• It’s okay to need help.
• Please get yourself help.
• You’re not the exception to recovery.
• The world is more beautiful because you’re in it.
• You’re worth it.
• You’re a good person.
• Thank you for existing.
• You’re beautiful.
• You’re not the exception to recovery.
• Please stay alive.
• If you’re looking for a sign not to kill yourself, this is it.
• Please, stay alive.
• People love you.
• I love you.
• Don’t give up.
• You’re not the exception to recovery.
• You’re not the exception to 

if you needed a sign, this is it. text first. get your well deserved rest. take a bath. cry a little. forgive your friend. forgive yourself. become the person you’ve always wanted to be, now is your time.

just remember you’re gonna make so many friends, fall in love with so many people, and do so many things. one bad day or one heartbreak isn’t the end of the endless possibilities awaiting you

Stop talking yourself out of opportunities because you don’t feel like you’re “ready” yet. It’s time. You’re ready now.

I want to be politically informed and educated but I also wanna have a good day and be in a good mood. Do you see my problem?

but the loudest screams are the ones we never hear

 Not loving is a letting go

 If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise

 I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there. ”

“ look closely at the present you are constructing. it should look like the future you dream of. ”

“ This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don’t get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can’t do anything, don’t get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it’s ready to come undone. You have to realize it’s going to be a long process and that you’ll work on things slowly, one at a time. ”

i love….. love. i love being warm and warmhearted and loving towards others and i love taking care of the people that matter to me 

It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.'

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.'

You were a dream. Then a reality. Now a memory.

Most people love you for who you pretend to be.

In every end, there is also a beginning.

Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…

- stop checking who’s watching your story compulsively, or at all
- stop checking if theyve read your message
- stop deleting posts and pictures when they dont get enough attention 
- who cares if they can hear your music blasting through your earphones, turn it up
- stop comparing yourself to her. you are enough 
- stop apologizing for being sick
- stop refreshing your notifications, my fingers are so sore
- ignore the urge to conform to their expectations 
- stop talking, listen
- do not let people tell you to calm down
- stop trying to get them to want you , if they want you they will ask
- stop making the same mistakes
- stop feeling bad about thinking of his body against yours
- stop refraining from appreciating yourself
- stop explaining yourself 
- create. 
- you dont need people
- stop feeling everything so damn much

the thing is, somebody cares. i know your best friend seems really busy all the time and is shit at texting but she still loves you and she talks to you more than she talks to anyone else and you’re the only breath of calm she has on this planet. the boy in your science class loves seeing what music you’re listening to on your headphones - he has the same taste and wishes he had the nerve to ask you about it. your english teacher loves the insight you have on your papers. somebody cares. the person who lives down the street from you notices when you are sick because they don’t see you stomping your way to the schoolbus - it’s how they know it’s time to get their breakfast ready. somebody is looking for you at the party, even if they don’t know they’re really looking for you - but when you don’t show up, some part of them is disappointed. somebody is looking for you in the library, in the spot where you eat lunch, in front of that one step you always seem to trip on. i know your parents are a complicated mess and there’s drama between your friends and your love life is sort of shaped like a constant question and everybody seems all caught up in their own lives and their own happiness and nobody really notices: but somebody always does. every face in your dreams is someone you have met, and that means that you are in a million’s stranger’s heads. they see you when they go to bed. and somebody cares. somebody still thinks about you even though you were just a person with a nice outfit or good eyeliner or a great smile or because you were having one of those moments that are so charmingly human in nature or because they regret not asking if you needed help when you fell or because they wonder what you were thinking about or drawing or writing or just because you’re alive, and that makes you fascinating. somebody cares. when you were on break from work and saw a dog hanging his head out of the car and suddenly broke into a smile: there was a girl in the back of that car, and I was her, and I still think about you, and i hope you get more chances to smile like that. and there is you, sitting here reading this, and by some small extension, meeting me, and i am telling you, I care. somebody always does. i promise. i promise. you are loved.

'Fall in love with someone who wants you, who waits for you. who understands you even in the madness; someone who helps you, and guides you, someone who is your support, your hope. fall in love with someone who talks with you after a fight. Fall in love with someone who misses you and wants to be with you. Do not fall in love only with a body or with a face; or with the idea of being in love'

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.

Museum date???? Coffee shop date???? Art gallery date???? Walk in the park date???? Late night walk date???? Nap time date???

50 Things To Remember In Life

Dear Friend,

There are 365 days in a year
And you and I both know from many unfortunate personal experiences,
That not all of those days will be good.
For some, the majority of those days will be a breeze
For others, each day will be a trial.
The world is a difficult place.
The world is an interesting place.
I am here to give you a few reminders
To keep up with this trying world we live in.

1. Follow your own heart and dreams. Don’t ever let anyone else tell you what you can or can’t do.

2. If you want something enough, you will find a way to make it happen.

3. You will meet people who hate you, and you will meet people who love you, and you will meet people who you think love you. Don’t be fooled. Some people are just passing by in your story called life. They’re there to teach you something, so always be aware.

4. Always remember that bad things and situations you don’t like will end. It may take minutes, hours, days, or years, but never forget that they will end eventually. You can get through anything.

5. You are your own person, not anyone else’s. Don’t let people take control of you and change your beautiful self.

6. The people in your life who make you giggle and smile in the darkest of times are ones you need to keep with you forever. There is always the potential for hard times, and you’ll need someone to cheer you on.

7. You do not have to live up to any standards or expectations. Family and peers and society are constantly telling us that we have to be a certain way, or else we aren’t good enough. Tune out of that thinking and just be yourself. That’s the best thing you can be.

8. Don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Being out of the box can bring on so many amazing new opportunities you never even thought existed.

9. A lot is going to happen to you during your lifetime, so let yourself feel anything and everything. Always feel as much as you can. It makes you experience things at a higher level and you can say, “Yes I know this feeling. I’ve been here before.”

10. A good cry cleanses the heart and mind and soul.

11. Appreciate the small things. They can teach you to love and be at peace with everything around you.

12. It’s okay to take a break from everyday duties once in a while.

13. Travel whenever possible, it opens the mind. Go on adventures in new places and learn about the world. You will come back a new person.

14. Get up the courage to talk to strangers. That’s how you meet people. Who knows, the next person you meet could end up being your new best friend.

15. Stand in the rain and breathe in the wide open air and absorb everything you can about the earth.

16. Long walks are something that can clear the mind and resolve many issues.

17. It’s okay to lay in bed with a book all day.

18. Look out the window and watch the snow silently fall. It’s one of the most peaceful and relaxing things you can do.

19. Remember that everyone is living their very own life with their own problems, so always be kind and respect others.

20. Keep and open mind and listen to people’s thoughts. You might discover more than you think.

21. You are not defined by your weight or skin color or career or the number of friends you have or your grades in school or your decisions. You are so much more than that.

22. Everyone makes mistakes in life, so don’t judge a person based on their decisions.

23. Keep your own limits and morals. Don’t give them up for anyone.

24. Live a little. Be spontaneous and experience all that you possibly can.

25. Aim to live a life that you will be proud of and content with when you’re 90 years old.

26. Things in life will tear you down, but time heals everything.

27. Rumors don’t help anyone. Don’t start or spread them.

28. Your soulmate is out there in the world searching for you too. Don’t lose hope. You’ll find each other one day.

29. Treat yourself once in a while.

30. Random acts of kindness can make someone’s day and it can make you feel good too.

31. You’re going to have to work if you want to live a truly happy life. Don’t cheat or make someone else do the work for you. That will only make an unfulfilled and empty life for you in the end.

32. Be proud of everything you do.

33. Self love never hurt anyone.

34. Find things to look forward to. It will keep you excited and more hopeful for the bright future.

35. Leave a piece of you in every place you go and with every person you meet.

36. Always listen to people. Everyone just wants to be heard and understood and feel like they matter to someone.

37. Do what is best for you in the long run, even if it hurts at first.

38. Love with all your heart and soul at every opportunity.

39. Never settle for less. You deserve the best and whatever makes you truly happy.

40. Don’t feel bad if someone doesn’t like you. It’s their loss because they won’t get to experience your magnificent presence.

41. Never fear love. Love can make you grow and blossom and teach you so much. Don’t fear it, but proceed with caution. Broken hearts will heal with time, but they are never fun.

42. Dancing silly to your favorite songs will guarantee some giggles and smiles.

43. Always sing in the shower, and when you’re home alone, sing as loud as you can.

44. Put effort into everything you do. It makes it all worthwhile and you feel better about it in the end. You can reflect and say “Look at this. I’m proud.”

45. Exercise makes you feel good and you’ll feel accomplished too. Try it sometime.

46. You are beautiful exactly how you are. Don’t deny yourself of your own loveliness.

47. You may not be perfect, because no one is, but you’re hella radiant, which is near perfection.

48. To grow as a person and expand your mind and soul, learn at least one new thing everyday.

49. Don’t beat yourself up about things you have no control over.

50. Happiness is not a goal or a point on a map. It is a state of being that everyone deserves.

Now my friend, I hope you can carry these things with you in your heart
Because every time you are down
You can always get back up.
Every time you are afraid
The fear won’t last forever.
This world and the people in it may knock you down
But you need to keep getting back up.
You have to.
Live, live, live.
Live your dream life. Make things happen.
It will be hard and it may seem hopeless and pointless sometimes,
But just remember that things really do get better.
The world is a difficult place.
The world is a beautiful place.
But only if you believe it to be.

Don’t lose hope.
I love you.

I hope you all find someone who gives you cute names and tells you it’s adorable when you do embarrassing things and hugs you when it’s early in the morning and makes you feel like you have a whole disneyland fireworks show going off inside your body and never ever lets you g

1. stop comparing yourself to others -What you see isn’t always real.
you are beautiful and unique in your own way!
Making comparisons is damaging and not necessary.

2. get rid of anything that make you feel bad about yourself - these might be negative thoughts, clothing that no longer fits or even mean friends that are bringing you down.

3. Identify your talents - everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which you excel, and then focus on your talents.                                Give yourself permission to take pride in them. Express yourself, whether it’s through art, music, writing, or dance.

4. Put care into your appearance and take care of yourself - take a shower on daily basis, brush your teeth, wash your face and brush your hair, you’re worth caring about!

5.  Dress for confidence - How we dress affects both how we feel about ourselves and the way others perceive us.
Don’t be afraid of some color! the color red will make you stand out and the color yellow will make you feel happy and shiny!

6. Learn - The more knowledge you acquire, the more confident you will be. Knowledge is power, and the more powerful you feel, the higher your confidence will be.

7. Take risks - great achievments involve great risks.
try to push yourself by doing risky things, go out from your shell, from the place you feel safe.                                                                                                       you will get no where if you will always be in the same place.

8. instant ways to boost your confident! - 

• Stand up as tall as you can, like you’re a puppet and somebody just pulled the string that’s attached to the top of your noggin. 

• Pull your shoulder blades down and back as far as possible. 

• Pick your chin up and look straight ahead - stop looking down while         walking around, there’s a whole world out there for you to see.

9. Look in the mirror and smile - by looking in the mirror and smiling every day, you might feel happier with yourself and more confident in the long run. This will also help you feel happier about your appearance, and to accept the way you look.

not to dictate your life but drop your shitty friends

delete the people that make you feel bad about yourself from your life, unfollow them, delete their numbers, erase their texts, find happier people, pet a dog, watch a silly movie, forget about them, you’re better off

Stop chasing people. If they block you, cut off contact, ignore you… Let them go. Let those who naturally gravitate to you enjoy your energy. We spend so much time begging for those who wouldn’t blink twice at the thought of you. Cherish those who are there by choice, and not there because you chased them every time they decided to escape.

If it moves you, if it inspires you, if it makes you happy, let it.

"1. You and your friends are not always going to like the same things, or do everything together, or always have time for each other. And that’s ok. This is real life, not a movie.
2. There are people in this world who don’t deserve what they have because of what they’ve done to get there. Please remember that you’re worth so much more than that. 
3. You’ll think you’ve built your walls high enough until something happens and it feels like you’ve lost control. But babe no one’s untouchable and you’ve got the scars to prove that you’ve survived."

concept: 2017 is better. you are cuddling with someone. you are warm. you are loved. you are surrounded by people you care about. you learn to love yourself. you are calm. you find new hobbies. you find yourself.

Cute things that people do

• smiling when they read a text
• hugs and randomly leaning their heads on your shoulders
• sharing their food with you when you don’t have any
• buying flowers and little gifts
• making a meal or baking for someone
• smiling widely and then quickly covering it up because they don’t want to look weird in front of you
• staying with you until you feel better
• giving you handwritten letters that they spent lots of time on
• sharing their favourite music with you so you can love it too

"Wake up early tomorrow. Eat a good breakfast. Do your hair and makeup and put on a kick-ass outfit. Buy your cup of coffee and enjoy every sip of it. Go to work, make that money, and learn something new in the process. Nourish. Grow. Inspire. Self-destruction is not an option. And let every choice you make be a brick in the foundation of rebuilding yourself."

*drinks 8 gallons of green tea* i just want to be pure

stop holding on to people who don’t even think about you anymore. you are worth more than that.

can you hear how loudly im thinking of you

but imagine being in your favorite foreign city, living in a cute, cozy apartment with a lovely view, working at a small bookstore, spending your time at beautiful cofffee shops and libraries, taking long walks, meeting new people that make you feel good, being yourself, finding true love and actually feeling good & fullfilled with your life

Get you some real friends who will support you, inspire you, accept you and love you as you are. Wholeheartedly

"I hope you find someone who doesn’t make you sad at night and someone who reminds you how much they love you every day and who laughs at your jokes and wants to listen to your music and who genuinely what’s to be with you and doesn’t make you second guess their love for you. I really hope you find that. Because you deserve that."

If you think art is easy or a lazy escape route through college then fuck you, art is degrading, it fucks with your self worth, for every 100 paintings you do, 99 of them will be shit - you just do it and hope it looks good. When you can’t project an idea from your head onto paper the way you want it, it is heart breaking and so fucking frustrating, don’t tell me art is easy because you need to be very head strong to cope with constantly under achieving in something you love

"I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art."

a concept: me, in my underwear and an oversized shirt, cooking breakfast for someone who loves me a lot.  the dogs are at my feet.  it is snowing, but we are warm.  donald trump has apologized for all the stupid stuff he’s said.

Close your eyes, and visualize yourself reaching your goals.
Try something new today.
Take a walk in a park, and let nature reset your mind.
Make a to-do list. You’ll feel encouraged as you cross off items.
Get more sleep. Sleep deprivation could be making you less motivated.
Drink coffee for a quick jolt.
Start exercising, and you’ll feel like yourself
Take a small step. You don’t have to immediately immerse yourself in the project and see it until completion right away. Just make baby steps, and take it one day at a time.
Wake yourself up from your slump with a cold shower.
Have a reward system, so you’ll have something to look forward to.
When doing a task you don’t want to do, play energizing music to help you get through it.
Get the hard stuff done first thing in the morning. Once you’re done with the most challenging projects, you’ll be able to tackle the others with ease.
Prepare early so you’re not in a rush. When you’re late all the time or feel rushed, this may stress you out and kill your motivation.
Push yourself. Realize that getting things done means giving yourself a little push sometimes.
Grow your willpower. Read The Willpower Instinct for how to do this.
Make motivating yourself into a habit. Read The Power of Habit to help you learn how to form habits.
Set a deadline for a task to spur you to get it done before the time is up.
Focus. Doing too many things at once can overwhelm you, so drop the multitasking and focus on one thing at a time.
Get a friend to join you to make whatever you’re doing more enjoyable.
Clean up your home or your workspace, and you’ll feel like you can get more done in a decluttered environment.
Let go of your fears, and you may feel brave enough to take on challenging tasks.
Eat right. Treating your body well will put you in a better place mentally.
Take a break to get some rest and recharge your mind.
Do something you enjoy when you first get up. Whether it be drinking hot chocolate while reading a chapter of a book you’re currently glued to or taking a hot shower, start your day off on a positive note.
Share your goals with others. Being public about your goals will give you a sense of accountability, which may make you more inclined to get going.
Fake it till you make it. Act like you’re motivated, and it’ll become a reality in time.
Focus on the positive instead of the negative, and you’ll feel more inclined to start new projects and take risks.
Bring light into your room. Open up your curtains. Let fresh air into your room by opening up windows if it’s not too cold and if it’s not polluted outside.
Find out what it’ll take to get there. When you set a goal for yourself, begin by doing some research, and you’ll be done with the first step.
Encourage others, and you’ll automatically start seeing encouragement from them in return. It’s a cycle of positivity!
Don’t compare yourself with others or you’ll get discouraged. Compete against yourself.
Have realistic expectations. Know yourself and how far you can go.
Stay excited. Experiment and keep coming up with new tweaks so you won’t get board.
If you fail, pick yourself up and keep going. Don’t let it derail you or cause you to lose confidence, which ends up affecting your motivation.
Keep track with a journal. If you track your progress, you’ll be able to see it, which will help motivate you to continue or try even harder.
Read biographies of the people you look up to for inspiration.
Listen to motivation stories from audiobooks, Ted Talks, documentaries, and more.
Place motivational quotes around your home and workspace. They can come in such forms as a sticky note on your memo board, a note taped to your mirror, or an inspiring quote on a coffee mug.
Volunteer. It’ll help ground you and make you realize that you’re fortunate, so you should take the opportunity to make the most out of your life.
Read The Last Lecture. It’s a book written by a professor who managed to squeeze the most out of his final days after a terminal cancer diagnosis.
Dress to impress yourself. You’ll feel like you can get more things done when you’re putting your best foot forward.
Write down a few things you’re grateful for. If you have a more positive mind-set, you’ll find yourself more motivated and looking forward to what’s in store for you.
Reflect on the times when you worked hard and succeeded at your task.
Remind yourself that it’s better to try and fail or succeed than living with regrets.
Give yourself a pep talk, and tell yourself that you are awesome.
Drop the projects that you might not be totally committed to and focus on the ones you’re really passionate about.
Tell yourself that nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
Know that only you have the power to create your dreams and generate motivation.
Write down where you see yourself in five years, and stick that note in a visible place.
Turn it into a challenge with a time limit. You can create your own or join an existing one. There are plenty of challenges that already exist out there, such as the NaNoWriMo, which challenges participants to complete a novel in a month.
Set your alarm clock to remind you when it’s time to start on your task.
Find something you truly enjoy, and do it. Pick up a hobby or start a collection, and it’ll make you excited about life.

Someone’s eyelashes blinking into your palm. Accomplishment. Self-worth. Love. Triumph. Sitting under willow trees without weeping. Apologies that get accepted. Understanding that comes from forgiveness. First fight. First makeup afterward. Less hurt. More good.

Everything.

15 things to remember:

1.   that thing you did that was kind of embarrassing and weird, everyone else forgot about that already

2.   you look fine today, if you can’t notice something on your face standing 6 feet from a mirror then nobody else will either.

3.   social lives can go through cycles sometimes, if you feel like your friends are all ignoring you for no reason they’re probably just busy with other things.

4.   if you can’t stop thinking about someone or something, read a book, paint your nails or watch a movie. it won’t solve any serious problems but you will feel better.

5.   listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply.

6.   if you want something, go get it. 

7.   drink lots of water, eat lots of fruit, exercise more, go outside, get enough sleep and think positive thoughts.

8.   if you don’t ask, the answer will always be no.

9.   throw away the idea of a perfect tomorrow and live in the moment.

10.  stop comparing yourself to others.

11.  a beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. It’s a privilege to simply be alive and healthy. Start acting like life is a blessing.

12.  act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you’d like to act.

13.  you will change. You’re not the same person you were three years ago. you’re not even the same person you were three minutes ago and that’s okay. especially if you don’t like the person you were three minutes ago.

14.  you don’t have to open the curtains if you don’t want to.

15.  being happy is the most important thing.

little happy things:

• seeing someone who is equally as excited to see you
• when you’re somewhere beautiful, away from things that stress you out
• actually completing your homework quickly without procrastinating too much, and then sleeping on time
• when your friend shares a generous amount of food with you
• reading something that perfectly describes what you’ve struggled to put into words
• starting a new journal with new stationery
• waking up in the morning and feeling happy for no reason
• discovering a new favourite tv show, song or person that makes you excited again
• making food or art and then feeling proud of your creations
• realizing that you don’t care anymore about something that made you sad or anxious before

1. The friends you have at the beginning of the year can completely change by the end of it. People change, and if they aren’t improving your life in some way, it’s okay to drop them.

2. Take many pictures. Don’t let it take over your life, though. You don’t want to look back and see that you only captured your memories with your camera lens and not within your mind and heart.

3. Find your safe place. Whether it be in the arms of a certain person or on the balcony of Barnes and Nobles with a cup of soup, find it and don’t let it go. You can have more than one safe place.

4. Be nice to everyone. You honestly don’t know what skeletons people are hiding in their closets. Everyone has their skeleton. Every person on this earth has something in their life or past worth collapsing on the ground in uncontrollable sobs over.

5. Reading is so important. Highlight the things that you read that you find intriguing. Read a lot, it can only do good things for you.

6. Writing always helps.

7. The girl with anxiety has the deepest thoughts. The autistic boy has the kindest heart, and the schizophrenic has the ability to put a smile on your face in seconds. Do not judge character based on a mental illness.

8. Music has an indescribable ability to connect and heal. Let it do its thing.

9. Her prettiness doesn’t make your prettiness any less pretty.

10. Getting close and letting someone in is scary as hell. You know what else it is? Worth it.

11. The minute you feel your happiness being dictated by someone else, take a break from them.

12. Adventuring is a must. Sunsets always help the soul, showing that endings can be as beautiful as beginnings.

13. Spend more time with your parents doing things they enjoy. Later in life, you’ll be wishing you’d spent more time with them than on your Netflix account.

14. Home is not always a place, but whatever you love with your whole heart. I have many homes, and it’s okay if one home doesn’t feel like home anymore.

15. Making someone smile and feel genuinely happy has the ability to warm your heart from the inside out. No matter how much pain someone is going through, you made them forget about it for a few seconds. Isn’t that something?

16. Feel everything and let it hurt, but don’t go back to what broke you.

17. Don’t let fear hold you back from what you want. The view from the other side is spectacular.

18. Tell people how you feel. Even if you’re scared it’ll burn your life to the ground. You say it loud.

19. You find the most extraordinary things in the most ordinary places.

20. Swollen lips and sweaty “I want you’s” can make you feel again, but I don’t want to feel anything if it means having to sit there feeling like the wind is constantly being knocked out of me when he stops calling back.

21. Sometimes the way you think of someone isn’t the way they actually are.

22. Never underestimate the amount of joy the holiday season can bring you. Try and find ways to feel that way all year long.

23. Timing is never going to be perfect; if you care about something enough, you’ll make the time. It’s all about priorities.

24. If women used their words to build each other up instead of tearing each other down, our world would change drastically.

25. Recovery can take 2 weeks or 5 years. You aren’t any less of a person if it takes you longer to find a way to let go of what’s hurting your heart.

26. You only need yourself, but having people by your side trying to understand means a lot more than you might think.

27. You find your truest friends in your darkest hours.

28. You can feel the whole world in a month and nothing after 2 years. Time does not define love.

29. Always say yes to dessert.

30. Concerts make life worth living. So does yelling your favorite song along with your best friend in the car with your best friend with hands intertwined. These are things that show you that you don’t need to be on drugs to feel invincible.

31. So does kissing.

okay but are you a gossip girl, a gilmore girl, or a gone girl

i think the weirdest thing is having left over information about someone. like i still know someone’s favorite girl name. or their favorite season. or someone’s address. i remember someone’s favorite ice cream flavors. and someone’s favorite childhood book. and the mental disorder their uncle has. i remember the ages and birthdays of their siblings. i remember the song they said they’d sing to their spouse. where do i put this down? where do i learn to forget?

"Some people make you feel safe in this world , 
Not because they understand you deeply 
But because they love you despite everything."

a healthy relationship with a significant other in which we both love and support each other and genuinely enjoy being in each others company

i want that really cliché friend group who takes long drives together and takes pictures of each other when they’re not looking and goes on random picnics and visits museum together fuck i want it so bad where y’all at

I’m just a sensitive girl with sensitive skin

Some people care too much.
I think it’s called love.

I’m only brave when I have to be. Being brave doesn’t mean you go looking for trouble.'

Somewhere, there must be someone who’ll love me and show me a world that I never knew.'

a message to all girls:
-celebrate others’ successes 
-celebrate your own successes 
-everyone is different, everyone deserves to be empowered and lifted up, everyone deserves recognition and love without comparison.

"Sometimes it is the smallest thing that saves us: the weather growing cold, a child’s smile, and a cup of excellent coffee."

"I laugh harder with you. I feel more myself with you. I trust you with me–the real me. When something goes wrong, or right, or I hear a funny joke, or I see something bizarre, you’re the first person I want to talk to about it."

Oczyszczające porady:

- delete conversations between people you no longer talk to. its healthy to let go of the past and not letting yourself dwell on things.

- say kind things about people you like. say good things about yourself. don’t speak or think about people you don’t like.

- look in mirrors. you shouldn’t be afraid of facing yourself.

- clean sheets make clean sleep make clean minds

- allow yourself time to feel and grow. don’t be too hard on yourself for crying, you need to vent in order to move on to better times. even rainy days work towards sunny days.

- if things don’t work out, stop forcing them. there’s no reason for you to keep working and failing if there’s other places/people for you to excel and be happy.

- kiss your body, caress your body. make yourself feel loved.

- running away doesn’t always solve everything. sometimes, the reason that made you run will still be with you. focus on freeing yourself before starting anew.

- a glass of water and a good nights rest can go a long way

things I wish I had a person to do with:

• go on picnics
• go to museums
• bake
• hug while watching movies
• take long walks in forests
• explore the city
• go to cafes
• stargaze

Things will work out, but staying up all night worrying about them isn’t going to help. So for now, rest your head and get some sleep; tomorrow’s another day to fight your fight. 




You never know how long it will take to get there. In fact, it may take you longer than expected. However, the important thing is that you must never ever give up along the way.

Sometimes you gotta wake up and remember who the fuck you are.

- You are fine as fuck

- You have an amazing personality

-You’ve achieved so much to make it to this point

- Don’t let anybody play you

- Don’t let anybody make you feel worthless

-Nobody is indispensable; cut them off if they are making you feel bad!

sometimes i think about foggy mornings, right after a night of heavy rain. i think about the buzz of an alarm going off at 5am, pulling a blanket over my shoulders, and feeling the numbness of sleep leave my feet as they touch the hardwood floor. i think about the smell of white wine, left overnight in a thin glass on my kitchen counter. i think about my best friends, following my footsteps: rolling out of my bed minutes after me, a blanket draped over their shoulders, mumbling “good morning” to nothing and everything. i think about dimly lit cooking sessions and breakfasts on glass plates… granola and peaches and almond milk on the balcony. i think about being huddled close with the people i love, all soppy eyed and drowsy, bare legs tangled, watching the sun rise. i think about many tommorows from now, where i’m content and happy and alive.

Take me to museums and tell me that I’m prettier than all the van goghs and monets.

"Burn your tongue on a cup of tea. Eat too much chocolate. Cry for a few hours, or cry for a few days. It’s okay to make mistakes and it’s okay to not be okay; you will always learn how to heal."

Everyone: What do u do
Me: *opens my dramatic 2am cellphone notes* I’m a writer actually

"I want you to hold my hand while we grocery shop. I want you to play with my hair while we watch our favorite tv shows. I want you to kiss me in the middle of my sentence because you wanted to taste my words. I want you to rub my back as we fall asleep. I want you to play my favorite song when I look sad. I want you to do these things without having to think about them. Do them because you love me."

the universe has existed for billions of years and by a coincidence we ended up living at the same time. that counts for something.

I don’t say this enough but thanks for following me. it means a lot.

straight boys are real and they are dangerous

how are all these math classes going to help me become a new york it girl with a huge wardrobe and a boyfriend in an indie rock band that writes songs about me

"Some girls are full of heartache and poetry and those are the kind of girls who try to save wolves instead of running from them."

god is not interested in religion, but in justice.

A jeśli człowiek zanadto się nad sobą lituje?         

           Co to znaczy zanadto? Nie mam żadnej miary ani standardu właściwej ilości smutku czy bólu po ważnych stratach, wiem tylko, że najczęściej jest go bardzo dużo. Kiedy mamy poczucie, że ktoś zbytnio się nad sobą roztkliwia, to raczej oznacza, że sami nie jesteśmy w stanie być blisko tak intensywnych emocji. 

"Don’t let yourself be controlled by three things: people, money, or past experiences."

Not to sound cocky as shit but I’m a fucking good person with a big heart and I deserve a lot more than the shitty hand that life has dealt me this far

what i like about her is that she blooms whether you water her or not. whether you give her light or not. she exists without your existence.

Women: the softest creatures with the strongest bite.

'I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons, our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever. Your leg, my leg, your arm, my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.'

— Charles Bukowski 

Przyniosłam tutaj swoje słowa i swoje fotografie i chcę zrobić z tego miejsca swoją małą, artystyczną piaskownicę.

Dotąd sądziłam, że ból jest najlepszym nauczycielem. Myliłam się. Miłość uczy skuteczniej.

Zapytał mnie czy jestem głodna.
A ja..
Powiedziałam 'tak'.
