We are only pieces.” —Rumi (via emotional-algebra)

“I’m not saying that at some point love isn’t staying up until 2am phone calls or stealing kisses when you least expect it, or instantly falling for each other’s favorite songs because it is, or at least that’s what the lead up to it feels like, but real love, is so much more. It’s going out at 12am to get something to eat for your wife who can’t get out of bed, it’s listening to them as they explode with vulnerability on your living room couch talking about how they were only so young when they’re parents passed on. it’s remembering how someone likes their coffee in the morning without asking—without ever asking, it’s visiting someone in the hospital knowing the last thing you want to do is see them in that condition, it’s wanting to be with that person despite despite everything, the future, the past, and everything in between, it’s the intimate things that you don’t even realize involve such intimacy, but they do, in secret, like the pinky promises you two made behind your back, to love one another for always, in the time you thought you were in love, when you were actually just on your way to it.”

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
— Melody Beattie (via emotional-algebra)
“You’re not really an adult at all. You’re just a tall child holding a beer, having a conversation you don’t understand.”
—Dylan Moran (via whimsie)
“Find me now. Before someone else does.”
—Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 (via lunaoki)
“I’ve always pushed for the big marriage that the whole entire audience has always seen coming. Ryan and Seth walk down the aisle hand in hand.”
—Ben McKenzie when asked if he thinks the O.C. should end with Ryan and Marissa getting married (via homo—explosion)

“Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can.”
—John Wesley (via asmallhope)
“It’s always more intriguing to imagine what’s happening, as opposed to seeing everything, because then you can use your imagination. I always wanted to be at a distance.”
—Sofia Coppola (via seaof-gold)
“Vera said: “Why do you feel you have to turn everything into a story?”
So I told her why:
Because if I tell the story, I control the version.
Because if I tell the story, I can make you laugh, and I would rather have you laugh at me than feel sorry for me.
Because if I tell the story, it doesn’t hurt as much.
Because if I tell the story, I can get on with it.” —Nora Ephron, Heartburn (via ohmish)

Los Angeles is tired
But we always seem to feel alright
This song will always hit the spot.
Things that say a lot about people:
- the way which they treat the waiter/waitress
- how they feel about the weather
- whether they dog ear pages or highlight in books
- fingernails
- and hands in general
- their preferred creative outlet
- how much they dread/enjoy talking on the phone
- whether or not they drink coffee
- if they ever forget to eat
- how honest they are with themselves (and others)
- if they correct your grammar
- how they treat their parents
“Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than absorbing the frequencies around you, when you start imprinting your intent on the universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence.”
—Barbara Marciniak (via awakeningapril)
“Now Sugarplumb, I don’t want you to feel like a lost little sheep once we go up there. You’ve always have me to tag along with, okay? If you want to go do your own thing, that’s perfectly fine. But just know that you’ve always got a buddy in me and we can stick together.”
— Mimi. I swear she always knows exactly what to say.
“Don’t ask for guarantees. And don’t look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.”
—Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 (via zarahlee)
“Let me put it this way, if Paris and NY were men, Paris would be more like the romantic guy that opens the door for you before you get into a car, you know, that guy who is so charming and perfect in every way, the safe bet, he almost seems too perfect. New York, however, would be the guy that just comes and sweeps you off your feet, that guy who takes your breath away, literally. The one you meet and almost instantly fall in love with, the one who is very difficult to trust but even more difficult to forget, that is New York. So let me ask you something, who would you take, Paris or New York?”
—Andy Torres (via obliteratedheart)
oh i see how it is
bears can hibernate and it’s a “part of nature”

“You will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate love. You will create a second family with them, a kind of tribe that makes you feel less vulnerable. Sometimes our families can’t love us all the time. Sometimes we’re born into families who don’t know how to love us properly. They do as much as they can but the rest is up to our friends. They can love you all the time, without judgement. At least the good ones can.”
—from The Types of People You Will Fall in Love With In Your 20s by Ryan O’Connell (via remnant)
