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.

“I hope you fall in love
With someone who always texts back and never lets
You fall asleep thinking you’re
Unwanted.
I hope you fall in love with someone
Who holds your hand during the scary parts of
Horror movies and burns
Cookies with you when you’re
Too busy dancing around the
Kitchen.
I hope you fall in love with
Someone who sees galaxies in your eyes
And hears music in your
Heartbeats.
I hope you fall in love with someone who
Tickles you and makes you smile
On hard days and on easy
Ones.
But beyond all that I hope
You fall in love with someone
Who will never leave you behind
And who will never take you
For granted, someone who
Will stand by you when you’re
Right and stand by you
When you’re wrong,
Someone who has seen you at your worst
And has loved you
Still.
I hope you fall in love
With someone who
Kisses you in the rain
And hugs you in the cold and
Wouldn’t have you any other
Way.”

How to kill someone;
How to kill someone;
Hold their hand and then never touch their skin again,
See them nearly everyday and pretend they don’t exist,
Act like everything you ever said to them was a lie.
— A few reasons why I’ll always prefer living by elsablt
“I am happy when I eat fresh fruit, when I burst out laughing, when I discover a new song, when I finish a good book, when I wake up and feel relaxed. I’m glad to have friends, family, a home, food when I’m hungry, hot water when I shower. I love being able to live and see the seasons change, to have gifts at Christmas and at my birthday, to travel sometimes, to have a good education and a great access to culture. I’m flattered when people compliment me, when people smile at me, when people are polite to me. There are so many things that make life so simple and easy and I will always think about them more than all the bad things that will happen to me. I do not have time to be sad every day and ungrateful; I have every reason in the world to be happy.”

“Remember me when the morning light kisses your eyelids at 6 in the morning. Allow my lingering presence to wake up your sleepy senses. Remember me when the sky is a dark hue of melancholy and anger all at once. Let me be your storms that calm your shivering bones and agitate your already thundering heart. Remember me when the wind breezes between the spaces your fingers and the strands of your hair. Allow me to whisper faint memories into your ears and on your skin. Remember me when the noise around you becomes overwhelming and you need room to breathe. Let me be your shallow or deep inhales, your shots of vodka, and your overplayed songs. Remember me when the evening darkness hides your nightfall shadows and covers you in a blanket of moonlight. Allow my presence to linger behind your eyelids, coursing my way into your mind and wrapping you in a duvet of memories.”
— Calvin and Hobbes
“If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I bet they’d live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize there are more important things than what people do all day.”
— Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
“She was beautiful, but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful: something to be admired from a distance, not up close.”

“I went away in my head, into a book.
That was where I went whenever
real life was too hard or too inflexible.”

Why hold onto all that?” And I said, “where can I put it down?”

Something My Past Didn't See
Looking into the future
something my past didn’t see.
The outcome of my experience
has allowed God to transform me.
Longing to be alive
for within I was dead.
Darkness was my company
and each day I dread.
Walking with a lost soul
Understanding nothing at hand
I once had a goal
My dreams turned to sand.
Seeking the face of comfort
To captivate my distressed mind.
can’t give up on life
Hope, I must find.
Thank God I found hope
In the midst of the dark
Pursuing to find some light
Until it penetrates in my heart.
Now that I’m blessed with life
and has allowed God to transform me.
I’m excited about the future
Something my past didn’t see

“I saw my whole life as if I had already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared… or even noticed.”
— Sufi Saying
Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates.
At the first gate, ask yourself ‘Is it true?’
At the second gate ask, ‘Is it necessary?’
At the third gate ask, ‘Is it kind?’
At the first gate, ask yourself ‘Is it true?’
At the second gate ask, ‘Is it necessary?’
At the third gate ask, ‘Is it kind?’

“There is this odd trend
of taken women
saying they are too much,
and how the men they love
are amazing for dealing with them.
Love should not be a responsibility.
You should not have to deal with me.
Just because a woman is wild
and free
does not mean she is difficult.
He is not a martyr for loving me
through the good
and not so good.
Some mornings I will wake up swinging,
you do not get a gold star
for still loving me.
Some mornings I will wake up like a lamb,
you do not get a gold star
for loving me.
I am not a hurricane of a girl,
you always have the chance to leave.”
- Lucy Hale
"Surround yourself with the right people, and realize your own worth.
Honestly, there are enough bad people out there in the world - you don’t need to be
your own wirst enemy."
— Ann Landers
“If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don’t have it, no matter what else there is, it’s not enough.”
