245 notes "Every person has the power to make others happy. Some do it simply by entering a room — others by leaving the room. Some individuals leave trails of gloom; others, trails of joy. Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony. Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others trails of faith and optimism. Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails do you leave?"

133 notes "I came to the end of my pity by discovering that it was I who created my own suffering, just as others create their suffering. I am to blame for my attitude, for my desire to suffer."

189 notes "If I am honest I will admit that I always wanted to avoid love. Yes give me romance, give me sex, give me fights, give me all the part of love but not the simple single word which is so complex and demands the best of me this hour this minute this forever."

1,978 notes "It’s like when someone says, ‘How are you?’ Do you say, ‘Well, my head hurts and I’m lonely and depressed and I’m worried about everything and the world is collapsing and full of evil’? Or do you say, ‘I’m fine’?"

302 notes "Life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. It’s being so upset or so disappointed that you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. It’s running so hard you can barely breathe. It’s that feeling of panic when you know you’ve been caught doing something wrong. It’s having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care so much about. It’s opening your eyes in the morning and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. It’s letting people go because new ones will always come in. It’s knowing that when you feel all these things, good or bad, you’re not alone in it. It’s realizing that there is always someone who finds you inspiring and beautiful and all the while, knowing that life doesn’t have a purpose unless you let it."

244 notes "I want to take back at least half of the “I love you”s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones. I want to take back the book of artsy photos I gave you, because you didn’t get it and said it was hipster trash. I want to take back what I said about you being an emotional zombie. I want to take back the time I called you “honey” in front of your sister and you looked like I had just shown her pictures of us having sex. I want to take back the wineglass I broke when I was mad, because it was a nice wineglass and the argument would have ended anyway. I want to take back the time we had sex in a rent-a-car, not because I feel bad about the people who got in the car after us, but because it was massively uncomfortable. I want to take back the trust I had while you were away in Austin. I want to take back the time I said you were a genius, because I was being sarcastic and I should have just said you’d hurt my feelings. I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide now whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. I want to take back at least half the “I love you”s, because it feels safer that way."
