“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.”
—Ray Bradbury Dandelion Wine (via 24ribs)
“If you want to live in higher purpose, begin making it more of a commitment. How do you spend your time? Where do your thoughts go when you are alone? Learn to hold a higher focus, to spend time thinking of why you are here and what you have to offer humanity.”
—Orin, Living With Joy (via nirvikalpa)
“Aloneness is the joy of being just yourself. It is being joyous with yourself, it is enjoying your own company. There are very few people who enjoy their own company. And it is a very strange world: nobody enjoys his company and everybody wants others to enjoy his company! If they don’t enjoy he feels insulted — and alone he feels disgusted with himself. In fact, if YOU cannot enjoy your own company, who else is going to enjoy it?”
—Osho (via lucifelle)
“The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.”

Long distance relationships.
When you want cuddles but can’t have them:
When you see other couples holding hands and kissing:
When you dream about him/her being with you then waking up alone:
When people tell you long distance relationships won’t work:
When you see cute couples eating at a restaurant together:
Having to pretend like you’re fine about it all:
“Jal, look at me. I was perfectly happy killing myself, right? But then, you asked me to try, and for the first time in my life, it felt like someone actually gave a shit and that person was worth trying for. And now, I’d… I’d fucking… I’d make the record world’s biggest sandwhich if you asked me to, I’d kick old grannies in the tits, I’d fill the rivers with panda pops. fucked up big time. I’m more than sorry. I love you, Jal. You’re my whole world.”

“Your thoughts create your reality, so pay attention to any limited thinking. Learn to stop listening to those thoughts that tell you that you can’t have what you want. You need to be observant to catch them when they come up, for you do not want them sliding by unnoticed. Is there something you are speaking of or thinking will be a struggle for you? Stop for a moment and imagine it working easily and well. What you picture is what you create, so picture the best outcome you can imagine.”
—Orin, Spiritual Growth (via heartmindspirit)
“Your past is just a story. And once you realise this, it has no power over you.”
—Chuck Palahniuk (via saddest-summer)
“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (via saddest-summer)
“Millions of girls will grow up thinking that this is the right way to act. That they can’t be anymore than vacuous ninnies whose only goal is to look pretty, land a rich husband, spend all day on a boat with their equally vacuous friends talking about how damn terrific it is to look pretty and have a rich husband!”
—Lisa Simpson, Lisa vs Malibu Stacy (via zealoussoul)
“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of syncronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.”
—Charles de Lint (via human-voices)
we are eternal souls in temporary bodies
