Why stress over someone that
won't even text to see if you're
alright?

Mark Twain

Jeder Mensch ist ein Mond und hat eine dunkle Seite,
die er niemandem zeigt.

Daya Bhuteshu

No matter in what life we start,
soulmate,
in the end i’ll still hold the end
of the red twine
to your
heart;
leading yours to mine.

to not forget myself
when the morning comes,
and
to not lose myself
when the night comes

Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds

Evil can't be scientifically defined. It's an illusory moral concept
that doesn't exist in nature.
Its origins and connotations have been
inextricably linked to religion and mythology.

Drake

Anytime you're afraid to try some new shit...
just remember,
amateurs built the ark,
professionals built the Titanic.

Henry Rollins

I don’t want people to matter to me too much. Sometimes it hurts too much to think about them. Ones you love who don’t love you, ones who are dead or hate you, ones who you think about but never get to be with. I like people but when I get too close, it fucks me up and I can’t get things done.

"Lurk" by The Neighbourhood

I want to be honest
I want to be bad
I want to destroy you
I want to move fast
I want the attention
I want all the cash
I want all the ass
Is it too much to ask?

I want to be faithful
I want to be raw
I want to be ignorant
I want to know it all
I want to die someday
I want to live long
I want what I ask for
I get what I want

Choose me or lose me. I'm not a back-up plan and definitely not a second choice.

You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is healthy. Respecting and taking care of yourself are crucial in life.

Olivia Benson, Law & Order

Arousal does not mean consent.

I do not spew profanities. I enunciate them clearly, like a fucking lady.

vellichor

n.// the strange wistfulness of used bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time—filled with thousands of old books you’ll never have time to read, each of which is itself locked in its own era, bound and dated and papered over like an old room the author abandoned years ago, a hidden annex littered with thoughts left just as they were on the day they were captured.

- The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrow

liberosis

n.// the desire to care less about things—to loosen your grip on your life, to stop glancing behind you every few steps, afraid that someone will snatch it from you before you reach the end zone—rather to hold your life loosely and playfully, like a volleyball, keeping it in the air, with only quick fleeting interventions, bouncing freely in the hands of trusted friends, always in play.

"Diary" by Chuck Palahniuk

It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.

Date someone who will tap 

your butt playfully and do

the dishes with you after 

dinner.

Date someone who knows 

the power of running their 

hands through your hair.

Date someone who wants 

you to succeed as much as 

they want their own success.

Date someone who knows

how you take your coffee 

and what cheers you up.

Date someone who you can 

be independent from but still 

look forward to reuniting 

with.

"The Truth About Growing Up A Woman" by Michelle K.

As women, we are taught to be tiny. To have small bodies, to never be imposing. The ideal of our gender are thin and childlike, hairless and dainty. We are defined by our bodies; defined by our control over them. We are taught to obsess over our physicality and to be repulsed by our desires and intelligences.
We are taught to walk scared late at night. We cradle our keys between our perfectly manicured fingers, walking gracefully like a baby antelope in a herd of lions. That our virginity defines our character. That I am a frigid bitch if I do not fuck him, and a dirty slut if I do.

"100 Love Sonnets" by Pablo Neruda

I love you as
certain dark things
are to be loved,
in secret, between
the shadow and
the soul.
