An idea can turn to dust or magic,
depending on the talent that rubs against it.

Simon Van Booy

For those who are lost, there will always be cities that feel like home.

"a poem written by someone too bland to be immortalized in blood or ink." by (r.a.)

Poets write about about beauty,
they write about flaws and eccentricities,
and sunlight filtering through golden hair.
It’s ridiculous; it’s laughable -
what is beauty in the modern age?

When I went to the Louvre there was an entire room -
an entire room! -
full of newspaper covered in ink.
It was art and people stood too closely to it,
‘ooh’d’ and ‘ahh’d’ because they thought they were supposed to.

I don’t think I want to be something beautiful,
something comparable to newspaper clippings
dip-dyed in black ink, looking like the leftovers
of some toddler’s craft.

I want to be loved, I want to be fierce;
I want fire in my veins and ash on my lips,
but I don’t want to be poetry.

I want you in my arms, and attached to my lips.

Sometimes I tell myself
I'm okay.
I repeat it, like a mantra.
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Because I'm afraid
if I stop, even for a moment,
I will drown in all the reasons I am not.

You can break my soul
take my life away
beat me, hurt me, kill me
but for the love of God
don't touch
her/ him

"Show Me" by Alina Baraz ft. Galimatias

You got me so high
I can finally breathe

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Be curious.

Accept the fact that you are not perfect and see how much easier it is to breathe.

MTV Teen Wolf, Motel California

Scott: It all started that night, the night I got bitten. Do you remember the way it was before that? You and me, we were... we were... we were nothing. We weren't popular. We weren't good at lacrosse. We weren't important. We were no one. Maybe I should just be no one again. No one at all.

Stiles: Scott, just listen to me, okay? You're not no one. Okay? You're someone, you're... Scott, you're my best friend. Okay? And I need you. Scott, you're my brother. All right, so... so if you're gonna do this, then... I think you're just gonna have to take me with you.

"A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket

It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. It's like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down through the air and there's a sickly moment of dark surprise.

Brigitte Nicole

One of the most courageous decisions you will ever make is to finally let go of whatever is hurting your heart and soul.

Igor Henrique

I'm so good at sleeping.

r.m. drake

loving me will not be easy.
it will be war. you will
hold the gun and i will hand
you the bullets. so breathe,
and embrace the beauty of
the massacre that lies ahead.

Stephan Labossiere

Some people don't realize what they have until it's gone, but hat does not always mean they are supposed to get it back.

Coco Chanel

I don't care what you think about me. I
don't think about you at all.

Dalai Lama

He said, "There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live."

"The Ice Palace and Other Stories" by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I'm not sure what I'll do - well, I want to go to places and see people.

Rae, My Mad Fat Diary

There are times when I can’t stop speaking, when a million words leave my mouth in a matter of seconds… a million words that mean nothing… but when I want to find some words that mean everything, I just can’t speak. Like: I miss you. Like: I love you. Like: My world is falling apart and I need you by my side.

John Green

So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered. I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad.

Joss Whedon

When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.

I am like the winter,
cold, lonely and dead on the inside,
strong winds warp my thoughts
and I feel like I can't breathe.

You are like the summer,
warm, beautiful and bright.
You're the sun that slowly rises
and calms the storm inside my head.

Robin Williams

I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy
because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless
and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.

"Could Have" by Wislawa Szymborska

It could have happened.
It had to happen.
It happened earlier. Later.
Nearer. Farther off.
It happened, but not to you.
You were saved because you were the first.
You were saved because you were the last.
Alone. With others.
On the right. The left.
Because it was raining. Because of the shade.
Because the day was sunny.

You were in luck -- there was a forest.
You were in luck -- there were no trees.
You were in luck -- a rake, a hook, a beam, a brake,
A jamb, a turn, a quarter-inch, an instant . . .

So you're here? Still dizzy from
another dodge, close shave, reprieve?
One hole in the net and you slipped through?
I couldn't be more shocked or
speechless.
Listen,
how your heart pounds inside me.

London Spy, 2015

Alex: Are you okay?

Danny: Me? I'm fine. You don't know me but if you did you'd know that I'm always fine.

Stiles Stilinski, MTV Teen Wolf

Everyone should have a dream, even a pathetically unrealistic one.

Glennon Doyle Melton

I still get very high and very low in life. Daily. But I’ve finally accepted the fact that sensitive is just how I was made, that I don’t have to hide it and I don’t have to fix it. I’m not broken.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

For what it's worth: It's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over.

incandescentghost, wnq-writer

There are days when I'm inexplicably sad, when my silence is louder than words, when my eyes see past you into the dark abyss of my own heart, but don't worry. All you have to do is hold me, and I'll come back to you.

"No Exit And Three Other Plays" by Jean-Paul Sartre

There are some memories one does not share.

"All You Own Is Yourself" by Rupi Kaur

Let it go, let it leave, let it happen. Nothing in this world was promised or belonged to you anyway.

Oscar Wilde

I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value.
