You may be trying to figure out someone you find confusing. You’d like to understand this person’s feelings about something that’s been done or said. But this individual has an amazing poker face and a very stoic presence. It’s hard to decipher what he or she is thinking and feeling at the moment. You could ask, but you might be met with a general reply that won’t really solve the puzzle. What you really need to figure out, Pisces, is why this person’s opinion matters so much to you. If you believe in what you’ve done or said, that’s enough. If this person is someone who cares for you, then you need to have faith that it’s copacetic with your loved one as well.
“Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.”
—Buddha (via emotional-algebra)
“Have you ever dated somebody who is evil? Life is about friendships. So when you start dating someone evil, and your friends are like ‘I don’t know about that person,’ and you say, ‘You don’t know them like I know them.’ That’s what you say, right? ‘You don’t know them like I do.’ And it’s like, ‘Look at that burning building’ - this is a metaphor, right - ‘look at that burning building, I think I’m gonna run into it.’ And your friend says, ‘No, you’ll die.’ And you say, ‘But I’m cold.’”
—Matt Nathanson before performing Kept, 9/30/11 (via pinkingupthepieces)
“Even if you think the flame has died, there’s at least one lyric that’ll hit that last hot spot, and then you’ll find yourself as fucked as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see her again.”
—John Mayer (via coffeestainedcashmere)

“The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined discourse. Familiarity creates a new language, an in-house language of intimacy that carries reference to the story the two lovers are weaving together and that cannot be readily understood by others.”
—Alain de Botton, On Love. (via curseofthe-consultingdetective)
“I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.”
—Mary Oliver (via emotional-algebra)
where is the pink dress
I’m not exactly sure which dress you’re asking about, but I’m going to assume it’s the backless dress all over pinterest? http://www.singer22.com/barbarabibb-a.html :)

“Don’t become something just because someone else wants you to, or because it’s easy; you won’t be happy. You have to do what you really, really, really, really want to do, even if it scares the shit out of you.”
—Kristen Wiig (via coffeestainedcashmere)
“Sometimes people who seem good end up being not as good as you might have hoped, you know?”
—Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (via heavymittedlove)
I've only read that one, unfortunately. His writings on philosophy and "The Art of Travel" sound really fascinating, though. Could you even begin to pick out your favorite part of the book on a second read-through?
They really do sound amazing. I’m excited to give some of his other work a shot. Any guy who lives in an airport for a week just to write about it is alright with in my book. And to answer your question, nope. The entire book is basically dogeared :)
Hey. You liked an Alain de Botton quote I put up recently. I just wanted to say, I took a look at your page and saw Thought Catalog and John Green and gorgeous things I very much appreciate it. So, from a cursory glance, I'd like to say that you are most certainly awesome. : ) Have you read "On Love"?
That’s really sweet, thank you for taking the time out to write such a nice message :) It’s one of my more recent favorites! I actually just re-read it for the second time last night (hence why I went on an “On Love” liking spree today). I really want to read some more of Alain’s books since I loved that one so much, do you have any other favorites by him?

“I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
—Jane Austen, (Northanger Abbey) (via wrists)
“You’re going to discover that conversations are best at 4am. The heavier the eyelids, the sincerer the words. Those are the talks you’ll remember. It’s ok not to know the answer and silence is not awkward. It’s shared, so share it more often than not.”
—Jeff Stuckel (via heavymittedlove)
“A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity when, for a few brief seconds, the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh, it’s as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.”
—Colin Firth, A Single Man (via ignitelight)
