You are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world. // You need someone that loves your soul more than your body. // The world only exists in your eyes. You can make it as big or as small as you want.

We’re on a constant mission to remind women everywhere that your own worth is not measured through the success of anyone else — and it’s about damn time we all started supporting each other instead of tearing each other down. In the comments below, tag a woman who inspires you — we could all use a little extra love and encouragement

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

Spend more time thinking about yourself instead of worrying about other people. Life is too short for toxic people.

To play a wrong note is insignificant;
to play without passion is inexcusable.

I just want to eat good food, make good love, travel, and surround myself with good people who get me. Happiness over everything. Anything less than that is irrelevant.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
6+3 = 9 but so does 5+4. The way you do things isn’t always the only way to do them. Respect other people’s way of thinking.

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.

How do you go back to being strangers with someone who has seen your soul?

She drinks pints of coffee and writes little observations and ideas for stories with her best fountain pen on the linen-white pages of expensive notebooks. Sometimes, when it’s going badly, she wonders if what she believes to be a love of the written word is really just a fetish for stationery.

It was very satisfying to sit there & read — And as I put down the book I sat quite a while — with eyes closed. I wished for you to be near me — You were in every word I read — you are in everything I see — & feel — & still you are not satisfied —

I belong to quick, futile moments of intense feeling. Yes, I belong to moments. Not to people.

If this is the only life, then why am I not just doing everything I want to do?

Loving someone means taking the risk that they might f*ck up your nicely ordered little life.





The reason people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go instead of how far they’ve come. You got this shit!



my grandma told me something yesterday that pretty much changed my outlook on life. we were having dinner and talking about my future, and how all of my friends seem to be doing so much better than i am, and she looked at me and said “hey, if we all had the same path in life the road would be too crowded” and i haven’t stopped thinking about that since.



I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.



I hate small talk. Let’s talk about your parents, the lies you told, how you feel, sex, what scares you.. not “wyd” every minute.


skin on skin is such a beautiful feeling




8 things to quit in 2018:
1. trying to please everyone.
2. fearing change.
3. living in the past.
4. overthinking.
5. being afraid to be different.
8. sacrificing your happiness for others.
7. thinking you’re not good enough.
8. thinking you have no purpose.



When you are your own best friend, you don’t endlessly seek out relationships, friendships, and validation from the wrong sources because you realize that the only approval and validation you need is your own.

The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment to absolutely and utterly walk away.

I hope you find a way to be yourself someday, in weakness or in strength, change can be amazing.

I think the scariest thing in this world is you never know someone’s true intentions with you

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.

I’m always inspired by people who choose to do what is right, not what is easy.

Loyalty isn’t grey. It’s black and white. You’re either loyal completely, or not loyal at all. And people have to understand this. You can’t be loyal only when it serves you.


 Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer. 




There isn’t enough of anything
as long as we live. But at intervals
a sweetness appears and, given a chance,
prevails.




So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
























































































I always have such need to merely talk to you. Even when I have nothing to talk about – with you I just seem to go right ahead and sort of invent it. I invent it for you. Because I never seem to run out of tenderness for you and because I need to feel you near. Excuse the bad writing and excuse the emotional overflow. What I mean to say, perhaps, is that, in a way, I am never empty of you; not for a moment, an instant, a single second.





We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken




Kogoś kto narobi mi bałaganu w moim uporządkowanym świecie.

1. kino studyjne
2. wino + koc

Ciepła, szczerości, normalności. Przyjaciela na życie, całe.

Szukam dobrej duszy, która wznosi się ponad ten cały plastikowy materializm i marzenia społeczne, nakręcone przez niedowartościowanych hedonistów.

Kogoś kto narobi mi bałaganu w moim uporządkowanym świecie.

Cenię świadomość życia, prostotę, wolność myśli, spokój ducha i aktywność ciała. 
Nie biorę udziału w wyścigu szczurów. 
Żyję swoim życiem. 

Wolę rower od samochodu, wolę Twoją duszę od Twojego ciała, wolę bogactwo bycia od bogactwa posiadania.

Dobre serce, gorszy charakter. 
Minimalista. 

Kiedyś przez przypadek odnalazłem szczęście, oddać nie oddam, ale chętnie się podzielę :)

If your actions don’t match, your words don’t mean anything.


What’s the worst thing I’ve stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.

Make the present good, and the past will take care of itself.

Perhaps we should love ourselves so fiercely, that when others see us they know exactly how it should be done.



Everything heals. your body heals. your heart heals. the mind heals. wounds heal. your soul repairs itself. your happiness is always going to come back. bad times don’t last.






 It is perfectly okay to write garbage—as long as you edit brilliantly. 



i take loyalty very seriously

No matter how many people care about you, if you can’t be open with them about who you truly are, you’re still alone.




me: I don’t have enough time
me: *stares at the carpet for 5 straight minutes thinking about how I don’t have enough time*



Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.





If flowers can teach themselves how to bloom after winter passes, so can you.


Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn

if you aren’t thinking about me you should be





today be kind, the world needs more softness and more love.

No, you do not have a thousand years to live. Urgency is on you. So while you live, while you can, become good."

If you want 2018 to be a good year, make it a good one. It’s all about what you do, not what you expect.

It is easy to make 50 friends in 1 year, but it is difficult to make 1 friend and keep friendship for 50 years.


The less you hold on to what hurts the more room comes for what feels good.

A lot of our problems would be solved immediately if we learned to talk to each other instead of talking about each other.

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



I’m not sure what I’ll do, but — well, I want to go places and see people.





 dont think anyone really understands how much compliments actually mean to me like i usually brush them off with a joke and a quick “thank you” but really i remember compliments for forever so if youve ever complimented me or done something nice for me thank you so much wow


having time vs. making time. there’s a difference.



Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

Explain your anger, don’t express it, and you will immediately open the door to solutions instead of arguments



I like touching your skin
even in the slightest way
fingertips to knee
I like running my fingers over you and just breathing
solely to touch you and recognize that you are real you are real you are real

A relationship is a bond not a title

Okay, we didn’t work, and all memories to tell you the truth aren’t good. But sometimes there were good times. Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep beside me and never dreamed afraid. There should be stars for great wars like ours.

I feel like we’re a heartbreaking poem, but the kind that makes them envious of the love talked about in it.

Trust the timing of your life stay patient stay calm






i actually like being up early i just don’t like getting up early

Don’t be afraid of losing people, be afraid of losing yourself trying not to lose someone else.




i take loyalty very seriously



I know my worth. That’s why I let certain people stay out of my life.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see



People only tell lies when there is something they are terribly frightened of losing.


which jungles have wi fi so i can move there and start my tribe








Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.



 I went for years not finishing anything. Because, of course, when you finish something you can be judged. 

Happiness is not handed to us on a silver platter. Happiness is something that we ourselves must be able to manifest all on our own, regardless of what else life gives to us.



I don’t have a type. If we vibe, we vibe.

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.








friendships that fluctuate between really stupid weird flippant jokes and earnest vulnerability and deep affection make life so much richer

People never learn anything by being told. They have to find out for themselves.

If you’re gonna bail, bail early. This applies to relationships, college classes, and sledding,

Sexy isn’t always about boobs or butts. It’s the way you walk, the way you talk, and the way you think.

What's your #1 sexual fantasy?
Somebody just throwing a million dollars on to my naked body and then leaving.

i love blurry photographs of people on adventures because someone wanted to record the moment but they were having too much fun to take a good photograph.

For me, one of the most attractive things is effort. When someone wants to see you, when someone wants to talk to you, when someone wants to play a role in your life. There’s effort in everything of that

No matter where I am in the world, I love capturing beauty in unexpected places

Cities are full of inspiring designers, makers, shopkeepers, chefs and entrepreneurs – each making or doing beautiful things. I love bringing you a collection of snapshots and stories about inspiring people and places, as well as life, style and beauty moments. I hope you’ll be inspired by what you see – to discover the beauty in your city, your wardrobe or your home

After five fabulous days, I find myself spending the last taking in the perfectly blue water Cancun is known for, admiring its picturesque coastline dotted with resorts and people. I find myself making plans to return soon to visit Tulum. That night at dinner, our waiter Isaac prompts me to take out my camera. On one side of the beach, a brief downpour starts. On the other a colourful sky, with a beautiful sunset. It's paradise. 

As two bloggers who are constantly scheduling shoots at new restaurants, shops and the like, we're not used to slowing down. This trip is different. The agenda is refreshingly loose. Now, I've been to Mexico a handful of times. As a child, my family travelled to tropical destinations once a year to escape our cold Canadian winter. Since then, I've considered myself more of a city person. But when Expedia suggested I spend a week at Secrets the Vine Cancun, I couldn't resist soaking in sun and spending some time simply unwinding.

Kiedyś przez przypadek odnalazłem szczęście, oddać nie oddam, ale chętnie się podzielę :)



I want someone who takes me as I am. Someone who can realize how I feel just from the slightest look at me.
Someone who admires me for the way I use to live my life and confirms my resolutions. I want someone who calls my laugh as contagious as a spreading fire and even laughs at my baddest jokes.
I want someone I can show the lyrics of my favorite songs to while laying in bed on a rainy Sunday. Someone I can confide my greatest hopes and deepest fears to.



I want someone who encourages me when I’m afraid of facing a new path.
Someone I can call in the middle of the night and tell what’s haunting me in my dreams. Someone who embraces and protects me when the world seems to be a cruel and unpredictable place.

It’s much easier to think someone’s the answer if you haven’t seen them for years. because they’re not really real.
people can’t be answers.
they’re just more questions.

humanity did a lot of things wrong but at least we got libraries, museums, and coffee shops right





I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it – to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once

in the end i learned that the only person that can make you feel whole, complete and full is yourself.
