“I’ve always known that there’s more going on inside me than finds its way into the world, but this is probably true of everyone. Who doesn’t regret that he isn’t more fully understood?”

I love you and I mean it, Whenever I tell you and Even when I forget to.

[wordsnquotes]

Growth is painful. Change is painful.But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.

Mandy Hale (via wordsnquotes)

Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you’re supposed to. Stay home on New Year’s Eve if that’s what makes you happy. Skip the committee meeting. Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances. Read. Cook. Run. Write a story.

Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking (via fyp-psychology)

[wordsnquotes]

You know what I think?…That people’s memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive. Whether those memories have any actual importance or not, it doesn’t matter as far as the maintenance of life is concerned. They’re all just fuel. Advertising fillers in the newspaper, philosophy books, dirty pictures in a magazine, a bundle of ten-thousand…bills: when you feed ‘em to the fire, they’re all just paper. The fire isn’t thinking…while it burns. To the fire, they’re nothing but scraps of paper. It’s the exact same thing. Important memories, not-so-important memories, totally useless memories: there’s no distinction—they’re all just fuel.

Haruki Murakami, After Dark (via wordsnquotes)

Loneliness does not come from being alone, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important.

C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections (via fyp-psychology)

Sometimes we meet someone and are with them for a short time, yet somehow we write about them forever.

[wordsnquotes]

Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say My heart is broken.

C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

I loved you so much once. I did. More than anything in the whole wide world. Imagine that. What a laugh that is now. Can you believe it? We were so intimate once upon a time I can’t believe it now. The memory of being that intimate with somebody. We were so intimate I could puke. I can’t imagine ever being that intimate with somebody else. I haven’t been.

You have no idea what a charming memory you are to me.

Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for dinner or coffee. And it has been like that from the beginning.

Vincent Van Gogh, Van Gogh in Arles (via thequotejournals)

[wordsnquotes]

No, I’m not ok. But I haven’t been ok since I was 11, maybe 12. I am still here though. I’m still breathing. For me, sometimes, that will have to be enough.

Clementine von Radics  (via wordsnquotes)

Because once you hear something, you can never return to the time before you heard it.
