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. 

Never rush to compensate.

 "Your actions are depended on every minute, every hour, every day, every week, month, year and decade you put into it. Never rush to compensate. If you take your time and listen, you will learn so much more than you ever imagined".

to be strong

“Some people think that to be strong is to never feel pain. In reality the strongest people are the ones who feel it, understand it, accept and learn from it.”

“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.”

- Trina Paulus

"How does one become a butterfly? They have to want to learn to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."

— Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

“There are some people you like immediately, some whom you think you might learn to like in the fullness of time, and some that you simply want to push away from you with a sharp stick.”

― Rumi, Night and Sleep

“An eye is meant to see things.

The soul is here for its own joy.

A head has one use: For loving a true love.

Feet: To chase after.

Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,

for learning what men have done and tried to do.

Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind

when it only wants to see why.

A lover is always accused of something.

But when he finds his love, whatever was lost

in the looking comes back completely changed.”

~Marianne Williamson

“Love is what we were born with. 

Fear is what we learn here.” 

— 30 Things I Learned During the 30 Worst Days of my Life: November 2013

1, There’s a reason schools teach Shakespeare instead of John Green;
you make your own life, it’s not written in the stars, waiting to start until you find that person with the perfect smile

2, People are a hell of a lot smart than you think. Shut your mouth, stop thinking you know everything, and listen.

3, Getting close and being vulnerable is scary as hell, But you know what else it is? Worth it.

4,Reason really is the doctor to love.

5, The moment you feel your happiness being dictated by another person, take a break from them.

6, Take a step back and look around, you have more friends than you think.

7, Growing up is going to happen and it’s going to be tough. Just stay close to those around you, you’re all in it together.

8, If you’re still checking their Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, you’re never going to get over them.

9, Everything seems worse in the morning. Don’t fall for it, it’s deceiving.

10, No need to be so intense all the time. People get tired of swimming in the deep end, sometimes they need a break in the shallow part of the pool.

11, Stop avoiding everything. Get out of bed, get dressed, go to school, go to work. It sucks at first but it’s part of the healing process.

12, If the person makes you feel like shit and you still go back to them, it’s an abusive relationship.

13, Headphones are great, but listen to music aloud every once in a while. Sometimes you need to scream a song so everyone can hear you.

14, Boundaries are a must.

15, You can be a caring person, but you need to be happy with yourself before you try to make others happy.

16, Try and understand other’s intentions and situation before you get angry with them.

17, Tough love is necessary sometimes.

18, You can’t fix people no matter how hard you try. Get this engrained in your mind.

19, Surround yourself with people who will love and support you.

20, Loneliness is lethal and makes you have a distorted view of things.

21, No one hates you more than you hate yourself. Stop being your own enemy.

22, Someone can only hurt your feelings if you allow them to.

23, Getting your shit back in order is five times as hard as it is to mess it all up.

24, Listen to your parent’s advice.

25, Be open to anything and everything. Life isn’t fun when you’re a closed book.

26, Talking about your problems is great, but there comes a point when talking about it becomes dwelling on the past and it drains everyone around you. Know when you’ve hit this point.

27, A lot of people don’t like their shit showing. More people than you know are going through hard times.

28, Distract yourself.

29, Don’t be so easily swayed, a lot of claims out there are not true.

30, Some seasons of your life are harder than others. This too shall pass.

“Life is full of screwups. You’re supposed to fail sometimes. It’s a required part of the human existance.”

~ Yogi Berra

Losing is a learning experience. It teaches you humility. It teaches you to work harder. It's also a powerful motivator.

— Robert Brault

“Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.”

— Michelle K., Lessons Learned

“Perhaps the fact
that I chased a boy
who ripped me to shreds
says a lot more
about me
than it did about him.”

It sounds like a cliche

It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you’re not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.

Hatsumi Soke

"To learn martial arts, you need people. Martial arts cannot be learned through watching videos and training solo, you must connect with another person to learn, what we do is actually a study of humanness. So through your training, you will actually come to understand your humanity.

This is an extremely important, especially in this age of the internet, where people can get everything without physical contact with others. As a result, we will actually have many people forgetting their humanity, and thus, the meaning of life itself.”

— Criss Jami

“With too much pride a man cannot learn a thing. 

In and of itself, learning teaches you how foolish you are.”

You´d better watch out - Billie the vision & the dancers.

You better watch out cause I like you

Good things makes me vanish and go

If I find the common cure for this

I will also find that I am immune

You better watch out cause I like you

I drew a sketch on your shoulder

I tattooed you on your birthday

You couldn't see what it said

cause the blood and the bandage covered your arm

You better watch out cause I like you

I watched you sleeping sound this morning

You might catch a glimpse of me this night

Disappeared with the decease I have

I'm not feeling well so please don't pick up a fight

I should have watched out cause I like you

I will never learn from this

and you'll regret all the hugs and kisses

I will never learn from this

and you'll regret all the hugs and kisses

I will never learn from this

The tattoo that I left on you said best before right now

You should punch me in the stomach

and then you should hit me in the face

But you couldn't watch out cause I like you

I will never learn from this...

We never really grow up

We never really 

grow up, we 

only learn how 

to act in public.

— Katie Kacvinsky (Second Chance)

“I don’t want to be told who I am or who I should be. I want to find myself, the bits and pieces that are scattered in places and in people waiting to meet me. If I fall down, I’ll learn how to pick myself up again. You need to fall apart once in a while before you understand how you best fit together.”
