“I’ve noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren’t determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they’re satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world.”

my fav book and quote

“If you’re ever lucky enough to find a girl who is a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind, you should hold onto that. Because she’ll be yours at two in the morning and at two in the afternoon the following day. She’ll kiss you where it hurts and until it hurts. And that’s important. Someone who not only knows how to turn you on but also knows how to treat you right is someone worth a little something… and a little more than usual.”

I hope that

you will always have

enough courage

to tell the truth.

To hear it,

and to accept it,

even if it doesn’t

look as stunning as

every single lie

in this world.

“There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I promise.”

“I think my heart is healing. She’s prettier than me, but I think that makes it easier because now I can convince myself that she simply had more to offer and that my shortcomings and inability to be loved did not come in to play like all those nights you screamed at me on the front porch to let you in. I sleep in the middle of my bed now, utterly free to move around without the restraint of your arms pulling me against you. I only sometimes wonder if you wake up cold after she steals the blue wool blanket that I spent so many nights wrapped up in. I called you out of habit when I was walking drunk down Landis Avenue before realizing that ex boyfriends don’t pick up their drunk ex girlfriends on Tuesday nights, not the way you used to pull up with a promise to keep me safe, always. I don’t care if you hold her hair back. I no longer want to crash the car when your favorite band comes on the radio. I caught myself humming to one of their songs the other day and I did not once think of you or how that song played in your car when you kissed me for the first time, saying you hope you see me again soon. I hope you don’t make love to her to the same songs you did me, but I know you do. I think my heart is healing in the sense that I’m no longer sad, but most nights I don’t feel happy either. Just please don’t hurt her the way you’ve hurt me, maybe one of us will come out of this alright.”

“I love you,” She paused. “But I need to go now. I need to leave. Because we’re going to ruin each other.”

look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.
