" You are not perfect in spite of your flaws, but actually because of them. You don’t need to be pretty or good looking to be beautiful. Beauty is only skin deep, but radiance is eternal. " |
Have courage and be kind.
~Cinderella 2015 |
"This world is like a mountain. Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him. Change your heart to change the world."
~ Shams Tabrizi |
"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." Audrey Hepburn |
Everything in the world may be endured except continued prosperity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) |
IT'S ALL YOU HAVE FOR SURE
PAST NOW FUTURE |
Don't take anything personally ~
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. - The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz |
“If I were a carpenter, I would build you a window to my soul.
But I would leave that window shut and locked, so that every time you tried to look through it all you would see is your own reflection. You would see that my soul is a reflection of you.” ― Colleen Hoover |
"Confidence isn't walking
into a room and thinking you're better than everyone, it's walking in not having to compare yourself to anyone at all." |
You can tell when people are truly happy. Their energy is genuine. |
Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.--W. Clement Stone

“He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world.
She was the book thief without the words. Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain.” ― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief (If you have not read this book, you should. In my opinion one of the best books ever written) |

"Heartbreak opens onto the sunrise For even breaking is opening And I am broken I’m open Broken to the new light without pushing in Open to the possibilities within, pushing out See the love shine in through my cracks? See the light shine out through me? I am broken I am open I am broken open See the love light shining through me Shining through my cracks Through the gaps My spirit takes journey My spirit takes flight Could not have risen otherwise And I am not running I’m choosing Running is not a choice from the breaking Breaking is freeing Broken is freedom I am not broken I’m free." Spoken by Alike (Adepero Oduye) Written by Dee Rees Movie: Pariah |

"When you feel taken advantage of at home or work, don't sulk and say things like 'Nobody cares.' Why tell them the obvious? Clearly let them know what you really do want… it might just get you some respect." LORETTA LAROCHE |
“In French you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu se manques,” which means, “you are missing from me.” I love that.”
“You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.” -unknown |
I like the rhythm of this poem as well as its elegant simplicity.
Wander-Thirst
Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea, And East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be; It works in me like madness, dear, to bid me say good-bye; For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! the call of the sky! I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are; But a man can have the sun for a friend, and for his guide a star; And there's no end of voyaging when once the voice is heard, For the rivers call, and the roads call, and oh! the call of the bird! Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away; And come I may, but go I must, and, if men ask you why, You may put the blame on the stars and the sun and the white road and the sky. -Gerald Gould |
“Happiness is not a checklist. A dream job, a fast car, a good home, even love,
mean nothing at all if you have not yet found a way to feel full and content in your own mind and heart.” -Beau Taplin |
There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
- Arnold Bennett |
“To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.” - Criss Jami

Knowledge makes me more aware, it makes me more conscious. "Knowing" is painful because after "it" happens I can't stay in the same place and be comfortable. I am no longer the same person I was before.
Gloria Anzaldúa |

536. Ode
..What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind ..[H. Wordsworth] |
