“I don’t suppose I really know you very well - but I know you smell like
the delicious damp grass that grows near old walls and that your hands are
beautiful opening out of your sleeves and that the back of your head is a
mossy sheltered cave when there is trouble in the wind and that my cheek
just fits the depression in your shoulder.”- Zelda Fitzgerald, in a letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald

We used to sit so close. Now we can’t stand near each other.

Damn it love! Why won’t you leave me be? I don’t want no part in this fantasy. Love is just a weak emotion that makes me sick. I refuse to be a player in your game of tricks
“Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than absorbing the frequencies around you, when you start imprinting your intent on the universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence.”
—Barbara Marciniak
“If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.”
—Pema Chodon
“So somebody comes along and gets to me. They get me angry or uptight or they awaken some desire in me, wow am I delighted. They got me. And that’s my work on myself. If I am angry with you because your behavior doesn’t fill my model of how you should be, that’s my problem for having models. No expectations, no upset. If you are a liar and a cheat, that’s your Karma. If I’m cheated, that’s my work on myself.”
—Ram Das
“Some things you’re not letting happen right now because the timing isn’t perfect for you. Some you’re not letting happen because you are very aware of where you are. But all things, as they are happening, are happening in perfect order. And if you will relax and begin saying, “Everything in its perfect time. Everything is unfolding. And I’m enjoying where I am now, in relationship to where I’m going. Content where I am, and eager for more,” that is the perfect vibrational stance.”
—Abraham Hicks
Whenever Wherever Whatever - Maxwell
This is Beautiful <3
Lead me on girl if you must
Take my heart and my love
Take of me all that you want
And if there’s a thing that you need
I’d give you the breath that I breathe
And if ever you yearn for the love in me
Whenever Wherever Whatever
Wish I knew if I could
Be the one that you would
Love forever n’ a day baby
And if there’s a thing that you need
For you n’ your blood I would bleed
N’ if ever you yearn for the love in me
Whenever Wherever Whatever
And if there’s a thing that you need
I’d give you the breathe
And if ever you yearn for the love in me
Whenever Wherever Whatever
“You can decorate absence however you want - but you’re still gonna feel what’s missing.”
—Siobhan Vivian, Same Difference
“If I knew words enough, I could write the longest love letter in the world and never get tired.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald
The most potent lesson
I’ve spent the last few weeks thinking about all the people I’ve ever felt very connected to, people who I have loved and who have not loved me, and people who have loved me but who I cannot ever love. And it’s provided me with some ideas. I am slowly starting to understand that all these people have something to teach me. How to love and how to not love, how to be kind and how to be unkind. The last few weeks have made me think about who will stay and who will leave. The people I can call upon at 4am in the morning are the people who will stay with me. The people who teach me something new are the ones who will change me. The people who have never told me how they feel about me, I will never know. But I don’t think that I’ll ever stop learning about how to love a human being. I don’t think I want to stop learning that. After all, I’m still fairly amazed that I’m a sentient being with the ability to think and feel. And I’m also happy that I’ve learned to be savvy enough to keep surviving. At this rate, hopefully the most potent lesson I’ll teach myself is the way to properly love one person.
“Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives, and even when it does it can be lost so easily.”

that she is immaculate
and the world to me.” —Daily Haiku on Love by Tyler Knott Gregson (via tylerknott)

The time is going to come when you’ll realize that no amount of hot showers are going to get rid of the chill in your heart. And you’ve got to understand at that point that being lost is okay.
“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathed, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at 4 o’clock in the morning.”
—Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (via larmoyante)
“You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.” —Rumi (via empirestateofnoor)
