Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Gautama Buddha (via magnifizentt)
Be fucking selfish. I don’t think people get told this enough and it’s kind of sad. Selfish doesn’t always mean in a bad way, sometimes putting yourself first is important. Heck, I say do it all the time.

I may not kill anyone, but I have never been afraid to take what I need to survive.
Ashe Vernon, from “Bad Habits,” Belly of the Beast (via lifeinpoetry)
academic success is not the most important thing in my life, i tell myself as i’m having a breakdown because of academic success, the most important thing in my life

Patience, not simply for gain, but out of respect & understanding.
I hate small talk. I want to talk about atoms, death, aliens, sex, intellect, the meaning of life, far away galaxies, music that makes you feel different, memories, the lies you’ve told, your flaws, your favourite scents, your childhood, what keeps you up at night, your insecurities and your fears. I like people with depth, who speak with emotion from a twisted mind. I don’t want to know what’s up.

bless this new trend of saying ‘yikes’ honestly this is the word i’ve been looking for my whole life. the perfect combination of disinterested, detached, amused, and passive aggressive. five letters that say so much yet are vague enough that you won’t get involved in any drama
I love planners, highlighters, giant calendars, nice ball point pens, to do lists, & anything else that gives me the illusion that I’m getting my life together
