“One day you will heal in such a way that you’d be so glad you chose to stay. Every morning you’ll wake up with the feeling that something good is about to happen to you each and every day. The light coming from the sun won’t be too bright for your once too tired eyes, and the taste of your coffee will remind you that you’re kind of like magic. You’ll learn how to appreciate the simple things in life, like dancing in the kitchen, singing along to a happy song, and loving all the people who inspire you to be strong. You’ll smile at all your mistakes and failures in the past and forgive yourself for the choices you made, especially the ones that are wrong. One day you will heal in such a way that you’d be so glad you chose to stay. Because things will feel simpler and the problems you’ll be facing will be much gentler from all the pain you experienced that made you stronger. You’ll see hope in days when the sun refuses to shine, and you’ll feel comfortable in the wisdom that bad days do pass, and all you have to do when you’re stuck in the middle of the storm is to keep breathing and trust that things will eventually get better. You will get better.”
— Juansen Dizon, You Will Get Better

Senden sonra sevemediğim her insanın katili sensin.

Details of Oscar Wilde’s tomb: Pére Lachaise Cemetery, Paris (France).
It was a tradition to Oscar’s admirers kiss his tomb in a demonstration of love and respect for his legacy. Unfortunately, the stains were causing some demage to the monument’s structure. However, you still can leave a kiss to Oscar Wilde: now, the tradition was adaptaded to kissing the glass that protect the beautiful tomb instead — the art is preserveted and Oscar is still getting love and kisses from people that came from all beautiful and peculiar places around the world.
“It is an art of the most exquisite kind to touch someone’s soul before touching their skin.”
