“I like to think that we have been in love for thousands of years. That we are together in different lifetimes, as different people with different faces, under different names. I like to think that no matter who we are, who we will be at the end of the day, we are still together. We will always be together.”— Lukas W. // Always together
“Never judge people by their past. People learn. People change. People move on.”— Unknown
“We should all feel confident in our intelligence. By the way, intelligence to me isn’t just being book-smart or having a college degree; it’s trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it.”— Tabatha Coffey

“You have a voice. So use it. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes, just find your voice. And when you do, fill the damn silence.”
-Meredith Grey
(To all my girls and women out there)
“The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen. They go to the theater, the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories.”— Paulo Coelho

“I’d much rather have one great person to talk to every night than have several pointless conversations with temporary people.”— Unknown
“I don’t want to be a sweetheart. I want to be the fucking love of your life.”— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Fall in love with the person who enjoys your madness, not an idiot who forces you to be normal.”— Unknown
“You must allow yourself to outgrow and depart from certain eras of your life with a gentle sort of ruthlessness.”— Katy Maxwell
im curious about what made you you. im curious about your taste in music. im curious about the way your mind thinks. im curious about how your body likes to be touched. im curious about your late night thoughts and how they make you feel. im curious about every single thing about you.
I think setting boundaries around yourself is so important because if you do not, people will keep crossing their limits. Anything you’re not comfortable with needs to stop, whether it is a discussion, a conversation, an act by someone or anything. you need to understand what is it that you don’t like makes you uncomfortable. You really do not need to tolerate any stuff that you don’t want, may it be by anyone, a known, a friend or family or whatever. If you haven’t made it clear before, make it clear now, deny, refuse, learn to say no. Block the negativity out of your life. Stop being easy on things that keep bothering you and cut it off.
Amidst all the chaos, he was the calm I needed when I wasn’t even looking.
look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you
