“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”

Virginia Woolf (via aestheticintrovert)

I began to realize that the more I wrote down, the less I was saying. I began to realize the importance of speaking up over silence. I saw how crucial communication really is, and how I cheated it for years.

And that's why I don't write as much as I used to. Rather than documenting memorable moments, I'm living them.

Take a chance on faith. Not religion, but faith. Not hope, but faith. I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire, and faith leaps over it.

Chris Hardwick: If you get too comfortable sometimes, do you feel like you need a certain amount of hunger? Like, what keeps you hungry, what keeps you wanting to..when you could just be comfortable?‏

‎Morgan Freeman: Listen, I think that when you've walked through the valley of the shadow of the death, you don't miss that valley once you're out of it. And if the valley is deep enough, dark enough, you just spend most of your time out of it, when you're out of it [you're] making sure people are not creeping up behind you. 'What keeps you hungry?' I'm not hungry. I just like what I'm doing.

I love you, that means I’m not just here for the pretty parts. I’m here no matter what.

When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits—anything that kept me small. My judgement called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.

Self-Pity

I never saw a wild thing  sorry for itself.  A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough  without ever having felt sorry for itself.

-D.H. Lawrence

Your mind is not a cage. It’s a garden. And it requires cultivating.

The trick of love is that it is a decision as much as a feeling.

And you laugh like you’ve never been lonely. You laugh like there’s hope in the story.

I came in taking a course on Interpersonal Communication thinking it was something I was interested in. It was something I could improve on. But I didn't think I'd walk out of class some days, realizing I had just learned life lessons and reached epiphanies.

[psych-quotes]

Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.”

― Steve Maraboli (via psych-quotes)

[simply-quotes-deactivated202002]

You made me happy when I should have been miserable. You were the only person who could reach me, and maybe that scared me. You accepted me—broken and faulty.

Monica Alexander, Buried Castles
