But we forget that sometimes that's how the good things come too"

of perpetual apprehension”

will be glad you took your time”
-Love looks pretty on you
"There are few people whom I really love
and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am

appearance of merit or sense."

“They

when you look at yourself in the mirror and realize how far you’ve come or how
far you still have to go”

“And didn't it always go like that--body parts not lining up
the way you wanted them to, all of it a little bit off, as if the world itself
were an animated sequence of longing and envy and self-hatred and grandiosity
and failure and success, a strange and endless cartoon loop that you couldn't
stop watching, because, despite all you knew by now, it was still so
interesting.”

that we lose takes part of us. A crescent still abides, which like the moon,

“I reason, Earth is short— And
Anguish—absolute—
And many
hurt, But, what of that? I reason, we could die— The best
Vitality
Cannot excel
Decay, But, what of that?
I reason,
that in Heaven— Somehow, it will be even— Some new Equation, given— But,
what of that?”
-Emily
Dickinson
“People
do their best not to remember and not to accept the immense magical potential
they possess, because that would upset their little universe. But we all have
the ability don’t we? Absolutely, we just don’t all have the courage to follow
our dreams and to follow our signs. Perhaps that’s where the sadness comes from”

This, and my heart beside—

And all the meadows wide—
Be sure you count—should I forget
Some one the sum could tell—
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.”

“But
solitude can be a dangerous thing. All that comfort found lost in your own thoughts.
It is easy to stay and never return nut braver to walk through the tunnel and
out the other side”
-Pillow
Thoughts I
“You
don’t think about life when you are living it, or love when you are loved. You
don’t think about hunger when there is abundance or your dreams when they
become to fruition. You think less about yourself and how you got to be here
and more about others who want to be where you are and that’s how it should be.
Finding a place for yourself, then stretching your arms out to the rest of the
world”
-Love

“Synonyms know each other like old colleagues, like a
set of friends who've seen the world together. They swap stories, reminisce about
their origins and forget that though they are similar, they are entirely different, and though they
share a certain set of attributes, one can never be the other. Because a quiet night is not the same as a silent
one, a firm man is not the same as a steady one, and a bright light is not the
same as brilliant one because the way they edge themselves into a sentence changes
everything”

“We
seek ourselves, from womb to grave, what are the secrets to life? Have we
created love to save ourselves from unwavering strife? Why bear the pain of
childbirth just to fade and wither away? Why were we put on this earth if we
aren’t allowed to stay? Why do we read books and learn just to forget when we
are dead? Why is it we so anxiously squirm and await that day with dread? Furthermore,
who put us here? But more importantly, why? “I’ll live forever! Is insincere,
but alas, we’ll always try. Some will seek the fountain of youth to reverse the
signs of age. Some will search for unholy truth with séances and sage. Others
want the holy grail or, maybe, just the quest. But all of them
Will
surely fail and expire like the rest. That is all a myth of course-just
stories! It’s all a lie! The secret to life is simply, just don’t die:
