— Anne Frank

But feelings can’t be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem.

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".

— For When You Think That No One Will Love You

So you have chosen aloneness. You have chosen the security and the relative freedom of solitude, because there is no risk involved. You can stay up every night and watch your TV shows and eat ice cream out of the box and scroll through your Tumblr and never let your brain sit still, not even for a moment. You can fill your days up with books and coffees and trips to the store where you forget what you wanted the second you walk in the automatic sliding door. You can do so many little, pointless things throughout the day that all you can think of is how badly you want to sleep, how heavy your whole body is, how much your feet hurt. You can wear yourself out again and again on the pavement, and you do, and it feels good. No one will ever bridge that gap and point to your stomach or your hair or your eyes in the mirror and magically make you see the wonderful things about getting to be next to you. And maybe that’s it, after all, this fear that no one will ever truly feel about you the way you want to be felt about. Maybe what you want is someone to make you love yourself, to put sense into all that positive rhetoric, to make it so the aloneness of TV and blasting music in your ears at all times isn’t the most happy place you can think of. Maybe you want someone who makes you so sure of how wonderful things are that you cannot help but to tell them your feelings first, even at the risk of being humiliated. Because you will know that, when you’re telling them you love them, what you’re really saying is “I love who I become when I am with you.”

I would kill to spend the rest of my life with that person.

You’re lucky. You’ve fallen in love with your best friend. The person who accepts you at your worst, the person who laughs at your stupid jokes, the person who knows you better than you know yourself. I would kill to spend the rest of my life with that person.

— If you date me

If you date me there’s some things you have to know,

1. There will be days where I get too sad to even get out of bed so please don’t get angry if I’m not replying.

2. I fight a war everyday inside my head and somedays there are battle scars on my body.

3. I drink to forget the demons I’m fighting, but I promise I am faithful.

4. I’ve hated myself for so long it’s hard to be told beautiful words that weren’t made for people like me, so forgive me when I cringe when you touch me.

5. I care way more then I’ll let you know and I’m really sensitive, nothing else to that.

6. I get scared that everyone is going to realize how awful I am and that they’re going to leave me so I apologize for making you tell me why you love me all the time.

7. I’m bad at kind of everything I do but I swear I will love you the best I can.

8. I like to drive at night because everything is blurred and I hope there will be something in the road and cause an accident.

9. I trust easily and forgive too often please don’t use that against me.

10. Thank you for loving me even on the bad days, I love you too I’m just not too good at showing it.

— e.a.s.

She was never crazy,
She just lived too vibrantly.
Always contained “too much” energy,
Constantly had a fire in her eyes,
Her vitality would radiate onto others.

The intensity of her spirit was just too much to take in at one time.

Her character wasn’t flawed,
It just underlined the flaws in everyone else’s personality.

— Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home

“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”

I never needed you.

I never needed you,
To tell me I was pretty,
Or that my eyes sparkled in a particular light,
I never needed you,
To tell me my laugh,
Was like music to your ears,
Or my nose was your favourite feature because it was cute,
I never needed you,
To pick me up,
When I was down,
Or to fall behind me,
I never needed you,
To remind me of how strong I am,
When things get tough,
Or to rescue me,
I wasn’t lost,
I never needed your wings to help me fly,
And I never understood why,
Until I let you loose,
I never needed you,
Because I had me.

Body Language Cues

Kiss Me
She’s leaning in a little bit, she’s looking at you with an inviting smile, she’s touching your arm, she’s even tilted her head a little… what are you waiting for? Go for it!

Get Away From Me Now
Arms crossed and an annoyed expression? She’s pulling away every time you try to touch her? He’s backing away every time you try to get closer? All of these spell out one thing and we’re not sure what you did but you’d better leave them alone.

Slumped Posture
This could mean a number of things but we’re always sure that it’s a sign of a really bad day. They’re either sad, discouraged, hurt or fearful about something. You should definitely see if they’re going to be all right.

Try It And See What Happens
See, the phrase “try it and see what happens” could mean something completely different depending on how it’s said but the body language here is telling you that something good will happen…

Don’t Even Think About It
The body language here is telling you that if you do decide to “try it” then “what happens” is probably going to hurt. Hands on hips is never a good sign! We’re warning you dude, don’t do it!

Playing with her hair
This one is kind of a no-brainer, if a woman is playing with her hair while she talks to you, she’s probably flirting with you… but she could also be trying to get the hair out of her eyes. Make sure it’s more of a “you’re really cute” gesture and less of a “I really hate my new haircut” sort of thing.

The Handshake
A strong handshake is good but when it’s too strong it could be a sign of insecurity. When it’s too soft, it could mean lack of interest. The best handshake is when your palm touches theirs, it is a sign of sincerity and openness for a good relationship.

Mirror, Mirror
When someone is mirroring what you do, it means that they are on the same page as you. In dating it’s a sign of attraction.

Avoiding Glance
When a person can’t look you in the eyes while speaking it could mean they are nervous but it usually means they are being dishonest about something. When they avoid eye contact while listening, it could mean they are not paying attention, they’re angry or that they have some bad news to admit.

Maintaining Eye Contact
When someone gives eye contact while speaking, it’s a sign of honesty. When someone gives eye contact while listening, it’s a sign of respect.

Leaning In
This is a great sign. If the person you’re talking to is leaning in as you talk, it means that they are completely engaged in you and your conversation together.

Raised Eyebrow
This could mean that a person is confused but it’s also a sign that the person is interested in what you’re saying and they want to know more.

Fidgeting
This is often considered a nervous habit but it could also be a sign of impatience or discomfort. If someone is fidgeting a lot, they may need some comforting words or even some space.

Eye Roll
This one is kind of a no-brainer, they are seriously annoyed by whatever you just said. Choose your next words wisely!

Whisper in the Ear
This is a sign of intimacy and wanting to be closer to each other.

Do not chase another human being.

“Do not chase another human being. Instead, chase your curiosity. Chase your development and your goals. Chase your passion. Strive to work for something bigger than yourself, and instead of trying to convince someone that you fit within their world, strive to build your own.”

“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.”

I don’t require sex for happiness.

“I don’t require sex for happiness. I need companionship. I need a partner I can depend on, that I can love and grow with.”

— marina v., twelve promises to myself (1/365 days).

“i. i will love myself. i will love the messiness of my hair, the wiriness of it, the defiance. i will love the redness of my lips and the quirkiness of my teeth. i will love the smallness of my breasts and the fullness of my face. i will love the skin that heals and forgives. i will love all of me.
ii. i will find order in the chaos of my thoughts. i will find peace.

iii. i will speak the things i want to hear. i will write the things i want to read. i will be the person i want to meet.

iv. i will reclaim my youth, the freedom of it, the fearlessness, the romance.

v. i will be kind and i will demand kindness.

vi. i will nourish my body the best i can. i will care for it, i will heal it, i will find a home in it.

vii. i will take too many photos.

viii. i will spend less time on my phone and more time surrounded by people.

ix. i will stop biting my lips.

x. i will cry less and laugh more.

xi. i will stop fearing loss of control.

xii. i will love with a full heart. i will not fear hurt. i will live, now that i know i can survive.”

To be brave

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don’t want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt. 

— Perspectives, Nikita Gill

“Some people are born with tornados in their lives,

but constellations in their eyes.

Other people are born with stars at their feet,

but their souls are lost at sea.”

Sweet ramblings.

“She is who she is and you can choose to love her or not, but don’t stereotype her into something she’s not.”

coincidences in life

"There are no coincidences in life. What person that wandered in and out of your life was there for some purpose, even if they caused you harm. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense the short periods of time we get with people, or the outcomes from their choices. However, if you turn it over to God he promises that you will see the big picture in the hereafter. Nothing is too small to be a mistake." 

Unknown

“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.”
