I’m moving different because I want different, old keys can’t unlock new doors.
Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Some people will hate you for who you are and others will love you the exact way you are

“1. Let’s take a shower together with the lights off. Let’s leave our insecurities in the brightness. 2. I like the way you look at me when you’re laughing. I like the way you know it’s my favorite sound. 3. Let me wear your sweater. Let me sit in your bed and listen to you tell me about how you were as a kid. 4. I like the way you talk about all the people before me like they didn’t come close. I like the way you make me feel like the only one who has ever had a chance. 5. I know forever is a shot in the dark, and love is fleeting and people are cynical and sometimes shit happens, but listen. I want to be that one shot in the dark. I want it to be us in the end. I want to be the story people tell in thirty years because no one fucking believed that we’d make it.”
— Let’s Make It. // Love Thoughts, Pt. 1
“To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.”
— Alanis Morissette, Sorry to Myself
“The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.”
— Immanuel Kant (via philosophyquotes)
“I recreate myself; that is my only power.”
— Dejan Stojanovic
for the longest time, it feels like i have been trying to make sense of life but now i see there is no sense to be made, only life to be lived. there is no set purpose to fulfill, there are no checklists to complete, just an ephemeral moment to breathe, to love, to be kind, to feel. life is in all the simple, little things that we so often overlook. uncomplicate your heart. be here, be present, embrace your own journey. there is so much beauty and wonder to be found right where you are.
Tracey Emin ‘The Heart Has Its Reasons’
2014
when Lemony Snicket wrote “I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you everyday” that hurt me
e.v.e. ( I wish I could forget)
