The purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Kurt Vonnegut (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

I think I fell in love with her, a little bit. Isn’t that dumb? But it was like I knew her. Like she was my oldest, dearest friend. The kind of person you can tell anything to, no matter how bad, and they’ll still love you, because they know you. I wanted to go with her. I wanted her to notice me. And then she stopped walking. Under the moon, she stopped. And looked at us. She looked at me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something; I don’t know. She probably didn’t even know I was there. But I’ll always love her. All my life.

Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 8: Worlds’s End (via wordsnquotes)

Sometimes it’s better to stop trying to make sense of things. Life isn’t clear cut, there are always gray areas.

Alexandra Adornetto, Halo (via wordsnquotes)

He knew that I love you also means I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.

Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated (via wordsnquotes)

I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment—we are all defined by something we can’t change.

Simon Van Booy, The Illusion of Separateness (via fy-perspectives)

Don’t throw away your logic for an emotion you will feel temporarily.

10 pieces of advice to give yourself at the age of 20

At the age of 11, you learned that perfection does not always mean a flat tummy and a thigh gap. Go on and eat that second piece of cookie that you crave so much.

At the age of 12, you learned that just because you call her “mom” and him as “dad,” it doesn’t mean they inherently know how to be that. Also, suicide poison is not the cure for everything, it’s not a cure at all.

At the age of 13, you learned the difference between giving up and taking a rest. You might have given it your all but not make it. Remember to disregard everything that comes after but.

At the age of 14, you learned that standing up for everyone else does not mean that all of them will stand up for you when you need someone. Not one of them would be the first one to defend you, that spot is reserved for your name.

At the age of 15, you learned that people rarely mean what they say even if as a writer, you deem each and every word important. Learn to know the voices that speak sincerity and the voices that are just trying to get into your pants.

At the age of 16, you learned that letting go of people that only brings toxicity in your life is never a crime. Thinking about your own peace of mind does not make you selfish. Neither does placing yourself above that last number on your priority list.

At the age of 17, you learned that giving yourself to everyone willing could only lead to one thing: your own’s deterioration. Dear, you are more precious than someone who can’t even look into your eyes in the morning.

At the age of 18, you learned that loving and accepting yourself are two different things. Placing yourself in situations you are well aware of your self distraction is never loving yourself.

At the age of 19, you learned that lovers are not the only ones that can break your heart. People stay and go for a reason. Remember to treasure the rightful ones that life allowed to stay.

You’re 20 now and life has never been what you expected and planned it to be and that’s possibly the greatest thing that can happen into your life. You’re a writer but life writes with you, know when to let it leave significant marks and know when your own pen should be the one doing so.

[eli0tknight-deactivated20181203]

I’ve spent so much of my life in waiting; waiting outside of cold sterile gates, waiting for people to change their mind, waiting for happiness, waiting for redemption, waiting for second chances; I’ve spent so much time waiting for others to move, to dictate my life, and the entire time I believed I was in control because I was choosing to give things time, because I believed I could have gotten up and left had I wanted to, but after a lifetime of waiting, I’m starting to wonder if that isn’t true, that I wasn’t waiting because I chose to, but because that was all I could do; I’ve clung to people, and to life more than I’d like to admit, you can see it by the redness on their arms where I used to be.

“Tell her you love her.” “What if I lose her?” “What kind of logic is that? She’s too important to you to tell her how much she means to you?”

from an unfinished story #884 (via thoughts-into-ink)

[wordsnquotes]

Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.

Charlotte Eriksson (via wordsnquotes)
