Read more books.....enjoy the little things. The best way to know life is to love many things.

“Stories have changed, my dear boy. There are no more battles between good and evil, no monsters to slay, no maidens in need of rescue… there are no longer simple tales with quests and beasts and happy endings. The quests lack clarity of goal or path. The beasts take different forms and are difficult to recognize for what they are. And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur. Your story is part of your sister’s story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead. Good and evil are a great deal more complex than a princess and a dragon… and is not the dragon the hero of his own story?”

I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when i see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their bestfriend, I realize that even though i like being alone, i don’t fancy being lonely. The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad. I just need someone who wont run away.

Hannah Nelson (via help-n-quotes)

If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.

“A girl expecting rescue never learns to save herself. Even with the means, she will find her courage wanting.”

Kate Morton, The Forgotten Garden (via calligynia)

Somedays she hides shutting everyone out. She retreats within herself. Within her own brokenness. She doesn’t mind her jagged edges and how they still cut her. She embraces the silence of her own soul. She finds solace in closing her eyes and just pausing. Allowing the rest of the world to go about its day. She breathes in and exhales because somedays that is the only thing she can do. She lets her tears stream down her face, unashamed because there is no one around her to be upset by them. She feels relieved to release them instead of holding them in so everyone around her can continue smiling. Eventually she’ll re emerge to her life and welcome everyone back in.
