Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
Rumi (via esh-q)
these days i’m made of sad songs & missing you; these days i live in two time zones: when you’re awake & when there’s silence; these days we say it’ll be okay over & over again; these days we live on promises of someday soon & just a little longer & i will hold you in my arms.
i really miss you & i wish i could come home, a.b. (via worldsofstarlight)

When I started out, I was treated like a dog. People in the industry treated me like I didn’t deserve to be spoken to and I was some unwanted object. I couldn’t speak English fluently and people made fun of me for that. So dealing with rejection became a part of life. I may have had hits, but till date I’ve never worked with a Shah Rukh Khan or an Akshay Kumar, or Aamir or Salman. I have made my career out of leftovers and rejects of other actresses. All that has taken a toll, I guess. I find it hard to deal with praise. Today, when people say that I have made it and made it on my own, I feel like locking up myself somewhere… It scares me.- Kangana Ranaut
When the hands and the feet and the body are dirty, water can wash away the dirt. When the clothes are soiled and stained by urine, soap can wash them clean. But when the intellect is stained and polluted by sin, it can only be cleansed by the Love of the Name.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji (via sikhquotes)
if my son cheats on his girlfriend ima smack the shit out of him and send the girl a sephora giftcard.
She changed, but not overnight like in the books. Over years. Slowly and painfully. Sometimes brutally. But she did.
