"I hope you find someone who knows how to love you "I hope you find someone who knows how to love you when you are sad." —#NikitaGill
"Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to y "Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I’m not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men’s judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance. Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They’ll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance." —Unknown #SelfDevelopment
"And they keep asking me where happiness can be fo "And they keep asking me where happiness can be found, but I’m no longer trying to find happiness. I just appreciate where I am and then happiness finds me." —#Soyen #BePresent
"Introverts may have strong social skills and enjo "Introverts may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions." —#SusanCain, #Quiet #Introverts
"#Affirmation of the week: Loving myself heals my "#Affirmation of the week: Loving myself heals my life. I nourish my mind, body, and soul." —Unknown
"#Grief, I’ve learned, is really love. It’s al "#Grief, I’ve learned, is really love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot give. The more you loved someone, the more you grieve. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes and in that part of your chest that gets empty and hollow feeling. The happiness of love turns to sadness when unspent. Grief is just love with no place to go." —allmylooseends.com
"Just because you are struggling, doesn’t mean y "Just because you are struggling, doesn’t mean you are failing." —Unknown
"There is more wisdom in your body than in your de "There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy." —#FriedrichNietzsche, #ThusSpokeZarathustra
"By healing ourselves, we heal each other By heali "By healing ourselves, we heal each other By healing each other, we heal ourselves There is no space at all between my heart and yours." —llleighsmith.tumblr.com
"I have to go away. I have to go back to integrity "I have to go away. I have to go back to integrity and self-love and what I truly believe in, to lightness, warmth, taking responsibility for yourself. I have to stop trying to win your approval." —#KateChristensen, from a letter to #JeremyThrone written c. January 1987
"Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Ju "Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Just keep going No feeling is final." —#RainerMariaRilke
"What a gift it is, to look at someone and say, I’m so happy to have found you—at last, at last, at long, long last—you’re here." —#LangLeav, Love Looks Pretty on You
"All happiness comes from awareness. The more we a "All happiness comes from awareness. The more we are conscious, the deeper the joy. Acceptance of pain, non-resistance, courage, and endurance – these open deep and perennial sources of real happiness, true bliss." —#NisargadattaMaharaj #Awareness #Acceptance
"I don’t know when we will see each other again "I don’t know when we will see each other again or what the world will be like when we do. We may both have seen many horrible things. But I will think of you every time I need to be reminded that there is beauty and goodness in the world." —#ArthurGolden, #MemoirsOfAGeisha
"Just because it’s still hurting, doesn’t mean "Just because it’s still hurting, doesn’t mean it’s not healing." —ihadu.tumblr.com
"It is so rare in this world to meet a trustworthy "It is so rare in this world to meet a trustworthy person who truly wants to help you, and finding such a person can make you feel warm and safe, even if you are in the middle of a windy valley high up in the mountains." —#LemonySnicket, #Horseradish
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." —#CSLewis, #TheFourLoves
"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and lo "Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart." —#MarcusAurelius, #Meditations
"You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you wil "You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will look back in a few years and be absolutely perplexed and awed by how every little thing added up and brought you somewhere wonderful or where you’ve always wanted to be. You will be grateful that things didn’t work out the way you once wanted." ⁠—Unknown #Trust
"You need a rest. You need empty moments in which "You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead." —#AskPolly: “I’m Lazy, Reckless and Addicted To Social Media. Help!” #SelfCare
