Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (translation by Stephen Mitchell)
“I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because ‘romantic’ doesn’t mean ‘sugary.’ It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.”
— Catherine Breillat (via requiredwonder)
Some people’s wounds don’t turn into wisdom nor are they supposed to. Sometimes they are just that, wounds. Some people are just surviving and that is enough to be proud of them for. Not everyone’s trauma has to be inspirational or something they help others with. Normalize letting trauma survivors be just that, survivors, because I think that takes an immense amount of courage, strength and bravery.

“I’ve always thought, when a person cries the world should stop and listen to them. They deserve to be heard.”

“If you focus on protecting your heart, you can avoid a lot of pain but you can also end up living half a life.”

Felix: “At this point, if anything romantic happened to me I would probably, most definitely faint but I would not complain.”
Felix: “Is this what the gates of hell looks like?”
Seungmin: “What?”
Felix: “We’re out of brownie mix.”
Chan: “I parent really well!”
*Han getting his foot stuck in a jar*
Chan: “Pretty well..”
Chan: *Literally says anything*
SKZ: “Gah damn you’re old.”
Souls don’t understand time, they fall in love when they want to. Two days, two months, two years. It’s all the same.
~I.S.L
Don’t let your insecurities deny people their agency to choose. Even if you think you don’t deserve it, or you don’t understand why, let people decide to love you, to decide to look after you, to decide to help you.
you’re allowed to settle for a calm life, despite people on social media making it seem like you should do all these adventurous things. you don’t have to travel far and wide in order to be happy. you don’t have to have an amazing career in order to be proud of who you are and your life. live your life the way you want to, calm lives are good. a calm life is what i’m aiming for.
“Pay attention to the things you are naturally drawn to. They are often connected to your path, passion, and purpose in life. Have the courage to follow them.”
— Ruben Chavez
don’t be embarrassed that little joys take up a lot of space in your heart. sometimes they’re the most important things there are in your life, and deserve your attention
Unpopular opinion but Lee know is actually one of the softest members. He doesn’t have the second dad title for nothing. He puts everyone before himself, kids love him, he’s always protective of the members, he notices every little thing whether is dancing or a change in behavior. He has such a warm heart, just look at the way he smiles over his members while he watches them dance, play games, eat, etc. His interaction with fans are so gentle and respectful. You can tell he just simply has a good heart.
