“The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.”

“Memory takes a lot of poetic license. It omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.”

I’m finally being truly myself, I’m doing the things I want do with the people I want. I’m realizing sometimes you have to let some friends go while letting some others in. I’ve learned that I actually am pretty, in a nonconcieted way and that I need to stop putting myself down. I’ve realized that plenty of people like me the way I am and if they don’t, then that’s just too bad. I’ve learned that all my phobias and quirks just make me myself. Most importantly I’ve discovered those who are really my friends, and those who aren’t good for me. To be honest, this is the best thing that’s happened to me in a long while.

“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
—Jodi Picoult (via raindropsonredroses)
“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
—Mitch Albom (via raindropsonredroses)
“It’s hard for decent people to stay angry at someone who has burst into tears, which is why it is often a good idea to burst into tears if a decent person is yelling at you.”

I’ve been thinking. Who am I really?
Have you ever wanted to ask a question, but you didn't because you knew your heart wouldn't be able to handle the answer?
the worst part of being on vacation is a whole week without tumblr :/
“Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t.”
