Hò̂ Xuân Hương, tr. by John Balaban, from Spring Essence: The Poetry of Hò̂ Xuân Hương; "The floating cake"
Choosing yourself again and again is extremely liberating. It’s hard at times. But its worthed.
“I feel like I should probably ask you to leave. But I don’t really want you to go. I want you to stay, but I know you shouldn’t.”
— Rachel Gibson, True Confessions (via thoughtkick)
Sometimes, not being part of a group feels really bad..sometimes not being asked or checked upon feels really bad! But overtime, you realize that solitude is actually the best state to live in.Your peace never gets disrupted, you start having more out of the box ideas, you start becoming more open-minded, you get to explore your uniqueness. At the end of the day, it's peaceful!
“She remembered who she was and the game changed.”
— Lalah Deliah
Whenever you are put down or broken, just go and give yourself a tight-tight, loving hug...Don’t expect anyone else to do that for you...
When you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through.
— Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
If at first you don’t succeed, fix your ponytail and start again.
