From the very beginning you are being told to compare yourself with others. This is the greatest disease; it is like a cancer that goes on destroying your very soul because each individual is unique, and comparison is not possible.

Alfred Tennyson

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.

The people who make you smile from just seeing them, those are my favorite people.

Everything Is Awful and I'm Not Okay: questions to ask before giving up

Humanity earned the ability to soar with the birds, to cross vast oceans, even exploring the vastness of the Universe, but unable to overcome the growing distance that love presents itself as time goes by.

atticus

Don't ask her to be a rock for you to lean upon. Instead, build her wings, and point her to the sky, and she will teach you both how to fly.

Jacques Prévert

Millions and millions of years would still not give me half enough time to describe that tiny instant of all eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you.

Miyamoto Musashi

There is nothing
outside of yourself
that can ever enable you
to get better, stronger, richer,
quicker, or smarter.
Everything is within.
Everything exists.
Seek nothing
outside of yourself.

Kurt Vonnegut

Be soft. Do not let the
world make you hard. Do
not let the pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness
steal your sweetness. Take
pride that even though the
rest of the world may
disagree, you still believe it
to be a beautiful place.

Laurie Helgoe

If you ask an introvert a
question, wait until she
thinks about it. Introverts
think before speaking, not
through speaking. If you
want to get to the good
stuff, you need to slow
down.

"Linotte: The EarlyDiary of Anais Nin" by Anais Nin

...but the truth is I am terribly weak. And I crave
the balm of beautiful and soft things.

Ardian Michael

She made things out of broken things
and rose above the ones that hurt her.

Sherlock Holmes, BBC Sherlock

Bitterness is a paralytic. Love is a much more vicious motivator.

I just want somebody who will never stop choosing me.

John Barrowman, FandomFest

Never apologize for being a nerd - because unnerdy people never apologize for being assholes!

Jacob, Eclipse (2010)

Imprinting on someone is like... Like when you see her... Everything changes. All of a sudden, its not gravity holding you to the planet. It's her... Nothing else matters. You would do anything... be anything for her.

Nanea Hoffman

On Sundays,
I like to prepare
for the week
ahead by making
plans I am
unlikely to keep
while sipping
coffee and surfing
the Internet.

Victoria Erickson

I crave the ones who've seen confusion and known struggle; who have pulled themselves up from the shackles of heartache and strife, disappointment and darkness, exhaustion and drain and have risen with a heart as open and unwaveringly wide as the ocean itself. Give me those people. The brave, the vulnerable, the wise, the ones who care for a world, and how to better it along with themselves. To know their ability in making waves, in shifting patterns with tides and in creating change. Let us become that open ocean. And make it rise.

"A List of Random and Unrelated Things to Remember" by Victoria Erickson

Time heals.
Mountain winds sound exactly like ocean waves.
You are worth everything now.
Walls can be destroyed.
The sun always rises (and is always beautiful).
Children know the answers.
There is music in everything.
Logic doesn't produce magic.
Somewhere, somebody loves you.
You don't need to choose mediocre when fire exists.
The moon orchestrates our nights and tides.
Trees can grow through rock.
Your heart expands when it's broken.
You should do it now.

"Tick Tock" by Walking On Cars

Run from yourself but you're still stuck with you

Tyler Knott Gregson

Call me many things, call me friend, lover,
call me dreamer and chaser of some light,
some where; call me many things
but call me not predictable, call me not
boring. I cannot keep up
with the pace of my thoughts, the beat
of the heart drumming in my chest,
and if you stay near me  for longer
than a breath or two, I wonder if you
can keep up too.
I wonder what else you call me,
what words fall from lips
to describe the mess and
menagerie that is
me.

Tyler Knott Gregson

Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim.

"maybe we're just two stars born from different constellations,
we were never meant to connect,
oh, but how we tried,
we reached, we screamed, we yearned,
but it was never enough."

Trying to figure out what other people think about you is a total waste of your life. Tell your mum and dad you love them. Keep a diary. Be your own woman.

Erin McKean

You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/ spouse/ partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'.

Theodore Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credits belongs to the man who is actually in the arena

I'm not for everyone. I'm barely for me.

Fuck being nice to everyone. If someone treats you badly, you have every right not to tolerate bullshit.

"The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger

I knew it wasn't too important, but it
made me sad anyway.

In a relationship, you need somebody who's going to call you out, not somebody who's going to let everything slide. You need somebody who doesn't want to live without you, but can. Not somebody that is dependent, but somebody who is stronger with you. A relationship is two people, not one.

"The Introvert’s Way" by Sophia Dembling

One of the risks of being quiet is that other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You're bored. You're depressed. You're shy. You're stuck up. You're judgmental. When others can't read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that's true to who we are.
