Carte Du Jour: card of the day. @xtrid - Tumblr Blog

“Indeed, the truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers the most: and his suffering comes to him from things so little and so trivial that one can say that it is no longer objective at all. It is his own existence, his own being, that is at once the subject and the source of his pain, and his very existence and consciousness is his greatest torture.”

— Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain (via vashti)

“Promise me you’ll stay, always. Even when it gets a bit tough and when I’m hard to love, please promise me you’ll love me even more then, as that’s when I count on your love the most,” I say.

Concept: You wake up one morning, motivated and inspired. You do your hair and put on your favourite outfit. You walk out the house and the weather is breezy, but your hair stays in place. You go to your third home, a quaint coffee shop and sit by the window. You watch people laugh and chatter as they pass you and you break into a smile. You ask the barista to add extra milk in your tea, and a little sugar because some sweetness can’t hurt. You are so content, unbelievably happy and it’s not because anything amazing happened the day before, but things were falling into place. Life was good, it was just simply enjoyable.
