break your heart open so a new light can get in

"A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so a new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life."
-Elizabeth Gilbert

Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track

Dog Days are Over - Florence and The Machine

And in you and in all of us, there is nothing more than the capacity to be a force for, or a force against.

Each breath you take has a thunderous sound

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down

And after that, only a few will stay. Then, one. A memory of a memory.

"I felt you in my life
Before I ever thought to"

-Tegan and Sara

“Time is tricky. You have whole months, even years, when nothing changes a speck, when you don’t go anywhere or do anything or think one new thought. And then you can get hit with a day or an hour, or half a second, when so much happens it’s almost like you are born all over again into some brand-new person you for damn sure never expected to meet.” ~Life is Funny

One of Those Days

Sometimes you just need to sit in the grass in a dinosaur suit and blast some angsty music. Its perfectly healthy, and a very good way to think.

Fix You.

"You can't just plan a moment when things get back on track, just as you can't plan the moment you lose your way in the first place."

Dare you to move

"You will never meet anyone who has done something great who waited for permission to do something great."

begin, again.

“And that was it. All this buildup to a great leap, and I didn’t fall or fly. Instead I found myself back on the edge of the cliff, blinking, wondering if I’d ever jumped at all.”
-Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever)

there were no such things as absolutes

“It’s the expectation that things will stay the way they are forever that gets us. If you saw each event in your life as impermanent you might not be so devastated when they finally came to an end. You would appreciate that a good thing happened for as long as it did, and move on with the hope that there will be many more to come.”

Like Father Like Daughter

This is for two wonderful fathers that I knew. They raised absolutely wonderful daughters, and they will be missed.

Lucky men throughout history

While the rest of the world went on unaware

“It seemed like this day could go in so many directions, like a spiderweb shooting out toward endless possibilities. Whenever you made a choice, especially one you’d been resisting, it always affected everything else, some in big ways, like a tremor beneath your feet, others in so tiny a shift you hardly noticed a change at all. But it was happening.”

Be Calm

Suddenly I’m lost
