“I Like People Who Have A Sense Of Individuality. I Love Expression And Anything Awkward And Imperfect,

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.”

— Ram Dass (via davejwatson)

“The world isn’t filled with ‘haters’ and ‘toxic people.’ It’s filled with people who are hurting and trying, ineffectively, to give themselves some relief. So distance yourself if you must, but try to do it with empathy, not judgment. The only cure for ‘haters’ is love, so try to show them more kindness than they showed you. This is how we can slowly make the world a more loving place.”

— Lori Deschene

"I'll walk with you" is just an excuse to spend more time with someone before they go and that's romantic as fuck

“Flowers teach hope and patience. Flowers teach tenderness. Flowers teach futility and amazement. You know me, I am always willing to learn. Besides, it is spring. The beautiful forces of nature refuse to remain silent and I feel like observing everything.”

— Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to J. M. Murry written c. April 1922 (via violentwavesofemotion)

feeling safe with someone is so important to me

no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice

God, when my lips no longer know what to ask for in prayer, please hear my heart.

“Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.”

— Rumi

I love the 3am version of people.

Honest, vulnerable, real.
