30. Nashville via San Francisco via NYC/Hoboken via Nashville via Kentucky. Currently: looking for consistency while still nurturing the idea of spontaneity. Seeking to love extravagantly on a daily basis. Striving to live in the moment and enjoy. Hoping to never, ever stop learning. This is just my little collection of beautiful things.

Don’t be the reason someone feels insecure. Be the reason someone feels seen, heard, and supported.

I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.

[purplebuddhaquotes]

1. You must let the pain visit. 
2. You must allow it teach you. 
3. You must not allow it overstay.

Ijeoma Umebinyuo (via purplebuddhaquotes)

[purplebuddhaquotes]

You’re not a kid anymore. You have the right to choose your own life. You can start again. If you want a cat, all you have to do is choose a life in which you can have a cat. It’s simple. It’s your right.

Haruki Murakami (via purplebuddhaquotes)

[purplebuddhaquotes]

Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.

Emery Allen (via purplebuddhaquotes)

[purplebuddhaquotes]

What’s the worst thing I’ve stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.

[purplebuddhaquotes]

If you look back only at your mistakes, you’d think you were an idiot. If you look back only at your wiser choices, you’d think you were infallible. But if you look back on everything, you realize you’re a human being who has been through a lot, grown a lot, is always still learning, and improving as time goes by.

Doe Zantamata (via purplebuddhaquotes)

[purplebuddhaquotes]

As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself.

Haruki Murakami (via purplebuddhaquotes)

[purplebuddhaquotes]

Don’t explain. People only hear what they want to hear.

Paulo Coelho (via purplebuddhaquotes)

[purplebuddhaquotes]

Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives.

Lemony Snicket (via purplebuddhaquotes)

when i ask “did you get home safe?” i mean i love you and the thought of you at risk makes me ache

[purplebuddhaquotes]

I’m thinking that it might actually be possible for things to work out sometimes. Definitely not everything and maybe not the way you imagined. But sometimes, when you least expected it, life surprises you.

Susane Colasanti (via purplebuddhaquotes)

[wizdomly]

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.

becoming an adult is essentially having all your friends in different cities and permanently missing someone
