I'm not a striking beauty, but rather I am as hideous or as attractive as I want to be. I find beauty in the obscure and obvious and the everywhere in between. I attempt to love as deeply and as powerfully as I am able, and I hope that it seeps through to all untouched places in this Earth. Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I’ve ever known. I am currently a marketing associate by day. By night, I'm working on my dream of becoming a professional blogger.This blog will show my train of thought and stream of consciousness of anything and everything on my mind. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or just want to chat.

There are three types of emotional wounds: those that heal quickly, those that take a long time to heal, and those that remain with you until you die. I think one of the major roles of fiction is to explore as deeply and in as much detail as possible the wounds that remain. Because those are the scars that, for better or for worse, define and shape a person’s life. And stories—effective stories, that is—can pinpoint where a wound lies, define its boundaries (often, the wounded person isn’t actually aware that it exists), and work to heal it.

When you fall heads over heel for someone and think they’re you’re special someone, but they never, ever text you or initiate to see you. :(

if you dare to love, do not expect to find safety. everything about letting someone in involves setting your comfort zone ablaze.

I'm listening to The Smiths at 3am. Clearly, I'm a sobbing, crying mess.

I know it’s over, and it never really began, but in my heart it was so real.

The prison was, after all, his own heart.

the love I hear about in books and music, i always thought it was a fantasy, that never existed in real life

that is until I met you.

I didn’t know I could have a love people write songs and books about. <3

We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.

The only two ways we show people who we really are is through art and love.

[wordsnquotes]

It’s like when someone says, ‘How are you?’ Do you say, ‘Well, my head hurts and I’m lonely and depressed and I’m worried about everything and the world is collapsing and full of evil’? Or do you say, ‘I’m fine’?

Sara Shepard, The Visibles (via wordsnquotes)
