“The world was ending then, it’s ending still, and I’m happy to belong to it again.” - Jonathan Franzen, How to Be Alone

“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” — J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

“Maybe part of falling in love with someone else is also falling in love with yourself.” ― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only someone remembers to turn on the light.” — J.K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this

if your heart ever tells you that something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it

i have anxiety nothing feels right

physically, yes, i could fight a bird. but emotionally? imagine the toll

Every one: You have to make time for yourself! me: *stays up until 1 am every night crying* Me time 😍💆

Understand that even an “understanding heart” grows tired of being understanding and never understood.

ah yes, my train of thought, or as i like to call it, the Anxiety Express

“You know, I’ve got this theory; there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyric people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They’re the ones you see with the CD insert out like five minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Then there’s the music people…who could care less for the lyrics as long as it’s just got, like, a good beat and you could dance to it. I don’t know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyrics girl. But since I’m not, let me just say this: sometimes things find you when you need them to find you. I believe that. And for me it’s usually song lyrics.”

- Peyton Sawyer

She was fiercely independent. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years, she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday. And I’m not sure she even knows it.

— Lisa Kleypas, Sugar Daddy (via books-n-quotes)
