Cry baby

Alex, 23. Full of wanderlust and pixie dust. I taste like war and heartache.

You remain in my heart and it contains the mysteries of You

“I know that darkness. Have stood on that bridge in the space between the streetlights dizzy with looking down. Maybe some darks are deep enough to swallow what we want them to. But you can’t have two worlds in your hands and choose emptiness.”

— Mary Szybist, from Incarnadine; “So-and-So Descending from the Bridge” (via soracities)

“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”

— Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe

i sat down with the universe and told her i wanted to grow. i told her to use me as a vessel. so she made me uncomfortable. she stripped me of everything i knew. made me learn how to be silent, how to let go, how to move on, how to stand my ground, how to be more understanding, how to fight, how to survive, how to be more assertive, more loving, less naive. she told me to take everything i have learned and share it with others. and so here i am today. uncomfortable, heartbroken, but i am growing so fucking much. i am improving every second. and I have beautiful words to share. i am full of wisdom and my pain only teaches me even more that love is so important. there is no room for bitterness here. i have to keep going no matter what.

“Is this the road you want to take? Old wounds opened by the same mistakes. Pulling ghosts from the past that can only let you down. Demons will always disappoint. There’s still time to leave in silence, but they’re listening.”

“One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guilt, anger, love, loss or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go.”

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.”

[creatingnikki]

You lose people when you don’t even have yourself

I used to write letters but now I don’t care

Twenty two is too young to be so detached

He told me to never trust anymore more than I trust myself

If I smile while eating ice cream, will you believe that I’m happy?

Sakura scented candles light my room up

But where can I find something that will set my heart ablaze?

Tell me how you jump in the water yet convince yourself to come back on this damned land.

I can spend the whole day in silence if only you hold my hand.

“Be patient, my child, and endure, even though you are in pain.”

— The Illiad, Homer. (5. 382-384)

[purplebuddhaquotes]

“Heartache is good. Accept it joyously. Allow it, don’t repress it. The natural tendency of the mind is to repress anything that is painful. By repressing it you will destroy something that is growing. The heart is meant to be broken. It’s purpose is to melt into tears and and evaporate. When the heart has evaporated exactly in the same place where the heart was, you come to know the deeper heart.”

— Osho

“I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.”

[thezeroquotes]

“Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you’re perfect and walk into freedom.”

— Rick Warren (via meineluft)
