"My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage." - Alice Hoffman. . . . . #thingsithoughtyoushouldknow 🎇

"So I'll light up a cigarette I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left 'Cause I sure can't get no sleep And Lord knows there's no relief You held my heart in your fingertips So now I drown in my bitterness Oh, I can't get no sleep And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace No peace." - Sam Smith . . . . . #thingsimafaraidtosay 🌙

" 'Never love a wild thing, Mr. Bell,' Holly advised him. 'That was Doc's mistake. He was always lugging home wild things. A hawk with a hurt wing. One time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. But you can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That's how you'll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky." "She's drunk," Joe Bell informed me. "Moderately," Holly confessed....Holly lifted her martini. "Let's wish the Doc luck, too," she said, touching her glass against mine. "Good luck: and believe me, dearest Doc -- it's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear." Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's. #wildthings 🌌

I am not completely lost, I still hold some pieces that I should let go. For I shall find new ones, and it'll all make sens, someday. As for now, I'll just wander. . . . . . . . . #onmymind 🌌

“I really believed we could change them [...] They still hate and fear us. It's just harder to see because they're more polite about it. I got sick of living that lie. [...] I'm not gonna be the face of a world that doesn't exist.” ―Mystique . . . . . . #thingsithoughtyoushouldknow Artwork by: @houdaboukham 🎨

"And if i show you my dark side Will you still hold me tonight And if i open my heart to you And show you my weak side What would you do Would you send me packing Or would you take me home" 🎶 Pink Floyd - The final Cut . . . . #onmymind Artwork by : Gunseli.S

To you tired souls, tired from work, studies or from life, about to give up, just keep in mind that if it was easy it wouldn't scare you, if it wasn't great it wouldn't be hard! Just hang in there. Quitting is not the solution, quitting is nothing more than itself at the moment, but regret in the future. Failure shouldn't scare you, it's not trying that should! . . . . . . . #NeverGiveUp

They told you to be good, they taught you how it is done according to their vision. You grew up to believe that you are worthless, if you are not "good", if you are not accepted by everyone around you. You are ought to be a copy, with slightly different ambitions and dreams, and hell with you if you have wild ones, or what they call rebellious. Social norms are their ethics and values, something that It's supposed to be personal depends on other people? That's when you realize you should not accept their vision of "good", does it means you'll be no good? So be it! . . . . . #NoteToSelf Photo by: @ouedrhirikarim 📷

"The couple sat side by side on cushions on the floor, quietly eating breakfast from the low table. They munched in happy and enjoyable silence, of the kind that grows like a vine through the long years of a good marriage, so that when everything that needs to be said has already been pronounced, it is mutually understood that there is an intimate silence that has its own loquacity." -Louis de Bernières, Birds Without Wings . . . . . . #onmymind ☕

To that friend, or lover, with whom we share our deep thoughts and feelings, with whom we reached a certain level of connection and mind reading, with whom we can just sit there for a while and say nothing, with whom just a look gives away our intentions, emotions and state. Thank you for being there, to make awkward silences less awkward. . . . . . #ThingsImAfraidtoSay ✒

"I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that?" - Soledad O'Brien . . . . . . . . #onmymind 🌌

"And you tried to change, didn't you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake... You can't make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love." - Warsan Shire . . . . . #Dayofthegirl ✨

Give yourself credit for the days you've made it when you thought you couldn't. It's okay to take a break from everything sometimes. From school, university, social networks and even your group of friends. If you feel like you can't handle something, it's okay to pause everything and take care of yourself, you're not being selfish for it, you're taking yourself as a priority and you deserve it. Mental health needs so much more attention than it gets. Please reach out to your friends and family. It's okay to talk about it and have loved ones around you help. Your emotions are valid. Your existence is a priority. 💛 . . . . #WorldMentalHealthDay

why do we listen to sad songs when we are sad? "These songs will only emphasize your emotions and make your sadness worse" I've heard this a lot , which made me try to listen to music that didn't match my current mood, and emotions stream. I forced myself to listen to people singing about how beautiful, happy and Rose life can be, how magical falling in love is, how fun parties are, how merry going crazy is. Making it all simple with a combination of beats and happy tunes, me feeling weird for not getting the urge to dance when they asked me to, and for not being happy, because after all It's a happy song, clapping my hands or putting them in the air seemed more challenging. Lying is how it felt like, hypocrisy, and useless resistance, a feeling of denial, is how I'd describe my mini experience. Which made me more overwhelmed, not only I was sad, but also had the illusion of impossible happiness, an inside dilemma, between feeling what I had to feel, and being what I'm supposed to be: Happy! Now writing this, after a tough week of cumulated small traumas, confrontations and reality hits, listening to Reverie (by Isaac Gracie) on a loop, recommended by the co-creator of our humble blog,experiencing a break up I've never went through, refering to my own regrets, not feeling okay feels okay now! I'm starting to feel numb, I'm not alone in this, I'm embracing it, and I can make it better! I have learned to have my own catharsis through music. And this would be a song that forged me! . . . . #musictherapy 🎶

"How much better is silence, the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself." - Virginia Woolf, The Waves. . . . . . #solitude 🌊

“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.” Sometimes the difference is made by the things that go unnoticed or are taken for granted. . . . . . . . Picture by: @mariod.ivanov 🔍
