“If you’re not happy with the internal you, you’ll never be happy with the external you. We live in a visually obsessed era. Out of all our senses, sight informs us the most. Visual judgment is a part of life, but we have to struggle daily with the fact that it’s what’s inside that should be prioritized. The greatest artists, fashion photographers, designers, makeup artists, as well as all the geniuses of the world understand this.” – Natalie Dormer

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet (via teenager90s)
Make the first move, tell people how you feel, stop being so scared of rejection, stop feeling so engulfed with thoughts that aren’t even yours, and stop wasting your fucking time.

Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
Aurelia Plath (advice from Sylvia Plath’s mother), qtd in Sylvia Plath’s The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath (via thewastedgeneration)

I’m a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
I don’t believe in ghost, but I believe in the idea that the mystery, the unknown, to not be able to understand everything, is very important for the human consciousness. I think that is good to be curious because that allows us to turn on the inspiration. (x)
Most people carry that pain around inside them their whole lives, until they kill the pain by other means, or until it kills them. But you, my friends, you found another way: a way to use the pain. To burn it as fuel, for light and warmth. You have learned to break the world that has tried to break you.
Lev Grossman, The Magicians (via wordsnquotes)

you deserve the love you keep trying to give everyone else
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. It’s a crazy world out there. Be curious.

“Beauty is not long hair, skinny legs, tanned skin or perfect teeth. Believe me. Beauty is the face of who cried and now smiles, beauty is the scar on your knee since you fell when you were a kid, beauty is the circles when love doesn’t let you sleep, beauty is the expression on the face when the alarm rings in the morning, it’s the melted makeup when you have a shower, it’s the laughter when you make a joke you’re the only one who can understand, beauty is meeting his gaze and stopping understanding, beauty is your gaze when you see him, it’s when you cry for all you paranoias, beauty is the lines marked by time. Beauty is what we feel in the inside which also shows outside us. Beauty is the marks the life leaves on us, all the kicks and the caresses the memories leave us. Beauty is letting yourself live.”
My motto for 2016? There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise. Fight for your dreams girls!
