Perhaps You’re An Open Book That’s Desperately Want To Be Read, But You Were Written In A Language

Do not bring people into your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts. Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt.

Michelle Obama (via quotefeeling)

I feel very small. I don't understand. I have so much courage, fire, energy, for many things, yet I get so hurt, so wounded by small things.

— Anaïs Nin, Nearer the Moon: The Previously Unpublished Unexpurgated Diary, 1937-1939

Ek bewajah betuki si kahani mein,

Apne bhi kirdaar hone sunein....

“What-ifs and could-have-beens were not the way to move forward. She knew that from experience.”

— Judi Fennell, In Over Her Head

“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider.”

— Timothy Leary (via surqrised)

Just keep on being at it...keep on doing your shit. That's it!

I’m disappointed. I’m done. Thank you to my parents for doing the bare minimum required by law. In all seriousness, I hope they just go fuck themselves. I fucking despite them.

I do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. No interruptions. No noise. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.

— Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

“I found myself in life so suddenly - where I least expected it… And everything around me kept running. Things and men kept running, running - until I too started running like crazy. But it seems I overdid it.”

— Odysseus Elytis, tr. by Athan Anagnostopoulos, from Maria Nephele: A Poem in Two Voices; “The Presence”
