I
don’t care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything
goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching they are
your family.
Jim Butcher
Please know that there are much better things in life than being
lonely or liked or bitter or mean or self conscious. We are all full of
shit. Go love someone just because, I know your heart may be badly
bruised, or even the victim of numerous knifings but it will always heal
even if you don’t want it to, it keeps going. There are the most
fantastic, beautiful things and people out there, I promise. It’s up to
you to find them.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness.

People don’t like love, they like that flittery flirty feeling. They
don’t love love – love is sacrificial, love is ferocious, it’s not
emotive. Our culture doesn’t love love, it loves the idea of love. It
wants the emotion without paying anything for it. It’s ridiculous.
Matt Chandler Parsons
Some people will never ‘get you’. Do not spend eternity asking why.
People will see you differently, just cherish those who lift your soul.
Dodinsky’s Garden of Thoughts
You’ll meet her, she’s very pretty, even though sometimes she’s sad
for many days at a time. You’ll see, when she smiles, you’ll love her.
Pan’s Labyrinth
I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They
didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a
character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously
loving somebody I wasn’t.
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
Audrey Hepburn
You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like
you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you
are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way
ever again.
Azar Nafisi
Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.
I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone
to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me
completely. I have only myself.
Simone de Beauvoir
You are not useless. You are not hopeless. And no matter how scared
you are, you will never be alone. And deep down, somewhere, in the part
of you that decided the good days and your happiness and your health
were all worth fighting for, you know that, too. Hold onto that
knowledge. It will see you through the worst.
Ella Ceron
The pain that you’ve been feeling, can’t compare to the joy that’s coming.
Romans 8:18
I don’t think people love me. They love versions of me I have spun
for them, versions of me they have construed in their minds. The easy
versions of me, the easy parts of me to love. Who’s going to love the
girl that can’t stop crying? The girl that hurts herself? The girl that
is losing control? The girl that is so sad she can’t get out of bed? The
girl that keeps pushing everyone away? Who’s going to love the monster
in me, who’s going to love me now?

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take
risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice.
Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded,
sometimes destroyed.
Ernest Hemingway
I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression
and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s
real.
Marc Jacobs
Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?
Danielle LaPorte
Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep
your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep
your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your
values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less
problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for
more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major
value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to
be attracted by the person you become.
You’re the kind of experience most people wait lifetimes for.

I am going to tell you a secret. Every year many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.
John Green
Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.
Tyrion Lannister
I would love to say that you make me weak in the knees but to be
quite upfront and completely truthful you make my body forget it has
knees at all.
Derrick Brown
Two people who were once very close can without blame or grand
betrayal become strangers. Perhaps this is the saddest thing in the
world.
Warsan Shire
They say you don’t get over someone until you find someone or
something better. As humans, we don’t deal well with emptiness. Any
empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too
strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with
that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That’s why we run from
distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
Yasmin Mogahed
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you
simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do
not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or
you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate
that when I fall asleep your eyes close.
Pablo Neruda
Maybe there’s a universe where I’m the right person for you. Where I
adore every nice thing you did for me without starting to resent you. A
universe where you actually end up with someone who appreciates you.
Where no one becomes a doormat. Where both of us can shed our baggage
and curiosity and issues. A universe where we’re happy without wondering
if that happiness is some messed-up Jenga game ready to topple at the
slightest quiver. A universe where we’re comfortable and sure. Where I
don’t second guess everything and I’m not afraid of commitment and of
the future and of love. Maybe there’s a universe without all the noise
in my head and the pride that makes me so fiercely independent and the
coldness in my heart that I can turn on and off like a security fence.
Gaby Dunn
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy.
Robert Tew
The thing I’m most afraid of is me. Of not knowing what I’m going to do. Of not knowing what I’m doing right now.
Haruki Murakami
My only relief is to sleep. When I’m sleeping, I’m not sad, I’m not angry, I’m not lonely, I’m nothing.
Jillian Medoff
All the hardest, coldest people you meet were once as soft as water. And that’s the tragedy of living.
