I don't chase people
anymore. I learned
that i am here, and
i'm important. I'm
not going to run
after people to
prove that i matter.

you are not obligated to
- be someone’s counsellor and help them with all their problems if its bad for your mental health
- be there for someone 24/7
- remain friends with someone who emotionally drains you
- maintain negative relationships because you’ve been close for so long, because you’re related, or anything else
- do anything that makes you unhappy or puts your health at risk

When do you know your life has changed? by Cyndi Perlman Fink
The first time you truly understand the meaning of "If you have your health, you have everything."
The first time a dear friend drops dead of a massive heart attack because he didn't take care of his health.
The first time you realize the money doesn't buy happiness, because no matter how much stuff you put in that hole we all carry around, it will never be enough.
The first time you realize that money can't buy happiness because you finally understand what the word happiness means. I won't tell you what it means, only that it doesn't start with Lamborghini or end with Gucci.
The first time you see yourself and love that person who you've been hating and demeaning all these years.
The first time you really fall in love, maybe have your heart broken and learn that you will survive.
The first time you actually hear a bird sing, a baby cry, a river run, a leaf rustle, or a single note on the wind and it moves you to tears.
The first time you lose a parent. The next time you lose a parent.
The first time someone dies, who is so dear to you, that you think you can't breathe and then you do.
The first time you understand that the earth does not revolve around you.
The first time you understand that there is no separation between you and anyone else. Race doesn't matter, skin color doesn't matter, belief system doesn't matter, age doesn't matter, sex doesn't matter - we are all one, travelling through this crazy world, hoping for the same things.
The first time you figure out how to ride a bike without training-wheels, or how to tie your shoelaces by yourself.
The first time the words on the page magically rearrange themselves into things that make sense and your world opens up, and you know and understand at that moment, that everything is possible because you can read.

“If I’ve learnt anything in 2014,
“If I’ve learnt anything in 2014, it’s that you should tell people how important they are to you. Not because they could leave at any moment, but because they’re here now, and it’s worth saying something.”

— Things I’ve learnt in my 20 years of being alive.
1. Your friends that you make in high school won’t be your friends for life.
2. Just because you failed an exam doesn’t mean your life is over.
3. People will spread rumors about you, how you deal with them is your choice.
4. Choose your friends over boys, every single time.
5. You don’t need alot of friends, just ones that you can count on.
6. You think you know someone and then they surprise you.
7. Be careful who you trust.
8. Some people are just passing through your life, they help you learn how to let go.
9. Just because someone says ‘i love you’ does not mean they will be around forever.
10. People will get mad at you for being whole.
11. People will hate you just because you’re ‘you.’
12. Life is full of challenges, it’s up to you how you get through them.
13. You don’t need anybody to make you happy.
14. Sometimes you have to ‘call it a day,’ turn the page and start a new chapter.
15. Never trust somebody because of what they say, make sure their actions prove it.
16. You are beautiful, regardless of what anybody says.
17. Take criticism with a pinch of salt, it doesn’t matter anyway.
18. Never beg somebody to stay, the right people will stay no matter what.
19. You are worth more than gold, don’t let anyone tell you different.
20. Time flies, make sure you’re spending yours with the right people.

— T.B. LaBerge // Go Now
Sometimes we need to stop and say “Thank you for loving me.”
It is such a simple thing to say yet it carries so much weight, whether it is with a spouse while you both read your books or it’s with a friend who has been with you through thick and thin or it is to a family member who has loved you from the start.
Those words, that thought, the action of saying it to them with purpose and truth can mean the world to them. Because after all, they mean enough for you to say “Thank you for loving me.”

— Stephen King, Different Seasons
“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear.”

remember the three L’s
“My mom always told me to remember the three L’s: live, laugh, and love. She always asked me which was most important and I would say live because if you don’t live you can’t laugh and love. However, she was always there to correct me and tell me love was the most important because if you never find love, you’ll never fully laugh and never completely understand the meaning of living with the one you love.”

When all is said and done, nothing’s more important than the bond of family.

How beautiful she looks when she wakes...
How beautiful she looks when she wakes... Tell her. The sparkle in her eye that melts your heart... Tell her. How happy you feel when she leans against you... Tell her... How her kiss reaches down to the depths of your soul... Tell her. Never miss an opportunity to let her know how much she means to you!

— Sixteen Small Steps to Happiness
1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.
2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.
3. erase processed food from your diet. start with no lollies, chips, biscuits, then erase pasta, rice, cereal, then bread. use the rule that if a child couldn’t identify what was in it, you don’t eat it.
4. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.
5. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.
6. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.
7. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.
8. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.
9. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.
10. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.
11. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.
12. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.
14. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.
15. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.
16. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

SPEAK UP, STOP BEING SO AFRAID OF YOUR GOVERNMENT. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US.
A man admittedly followed and killed an innocent teenager, and was declared not guilty.
States are passing laws allowing guns in public schools.
Women are losing their reproductive rights at an increasingly alarming rate.
Riots are tearing through the streets in cities all over the world.
College tuition keeps rising, sending a generation into debt as soon as they are entering the adult world.
Education funds keep getting slashed.
Privacy no longer exists.
Corporations now have the same rights as people, and the funds to actually protect them.
Through loopholes, many U.S. Corporations pay a lower tax rate than middle class families.
States are now passing more voter ID laws and similar laws that only affect the lower class.
The corporate giant, Monsanto, has pretty much purchased and bribed its way into every grocery product on the shelf, resulting in food becoming less and less like, well, food. There are reasons Cancer rates are getting worse.
Likewise, Monsanto is making sure small American farmers are ran out of business. Also, their constant pesticide use is killing bees and other insects, causing dire environmental issues.
The mass media is more concerned with pop culture and trends, than the real issues the world is facing.
Human population is ever growing, and at rapid rates. It can’t just continue this way.
We have put so much trash in giant landfills all over our world and in our oceans. We are killing our planet.
By planet you mean we are killing ourselves.
Can we also pay attention to the fact that there aren’t just political problems going on???
I mean, seriously, I have been trying to tell everyone, BUT NO ONE IS EVEN REBLOGGING THE ARTICLES THAT COULD SAVE A LIFE
While all this is happening, the Pacific Ocean is being contaminated by not just trash, but Radiation.
There was a leak in the Fukushima power plant that has now poisoned the entire Pacific Ocean.
Some think that oh, maybe it will go away with time. Sure, it will, in about 16 million years. Yes, you read that right. Due to the long half life of iodine-129, the whole ecosystem of the Pacific Coast will be contaminated pretty much forever.
Here is the radiation levels in the ocean.
Everyone needs to wake up.
The government needs to be set straight. They were hiding this information so that people don’t panic. Well, now everyone’s gonna die and not know why.
Shit is going down, and we need to make sure EVERYONE knows EVERYTHING that is happening in this place we call home.
http://www.naturalnews.com/041200_Fukushima_radiation_poisoning_contaminated_food.html#ixzz2Z9XEqBnN
fukushima is one of the scariest things going on and it’s literally getting less attention than that real housewives couple who are going to prison.
