You

Slowly over time,

everything changes…

I felt like I was no longer a young heart and I no longer believed in fairy tale. Perfect was no longer in my vocabulary.

But I woke up one day and suddenly… there was this man. Here in my arms, there was this man. You. You became so familiar to me.

There was one night I was looking at you and I found myself thinking about how I could love you for the rest of my life if I tried.

It was right then, I decided that I wanted to try.

And so i’m trying.

I decided to fall in love again.

And this second time is nothing like the first time.

This second time, this time it’s better.

This time could be my last time.

Bodies:
are less like temples
and more like biographies
they carry all the broken hearts, false hopes, and cobwebs neatly mapped in your veins and tendons. A whole history tucked away in the spaces in between your ribs and collarbones.

Fate has a way of stepping in and guiding you the direction you need to go even when you yourself had no intention of creating that path.

Fisher Amelie, Thomas & January (via simply-quotes)

(via simply-quotes)

Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. you may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.

Chris Hadfield

Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.

It’s much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody. I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everybody was, especially me. I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and than make the choice to share it with other people. You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can’t. You have to do things. I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m going to be who I really am. And I’m going to figure out what that is. And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn’t do or what they didn’t know. I don’t know. I guess there could always be someone to blame. It’s just different. Maybe it’s good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it’s okay to feel things. I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite. I feel infinite.

Live the life you’d be envious of if you saw someone else living it. This is my personal mantra. Instead of waiting to be inspired by someone inspire yourself.
