Damn this is such a good song let me play it 78 times an hour until i hate it

The best love is unexpected. You don’t just pick someone and cross your fingers it’ll work out. You meet them by fate and it’s an instant connection, and the chemistry share is way above your head. You just talk and notice the way their lips curve when they smile or the color of their eyes and all at once you know you’re either lucky or screwed.

You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept

Junot Díaz, This Is How You Lose Her

Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.

Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

Don’t explain. People only hear what they want to hear.

Paulo Coelho

If someone makes you feel, let them.

Reyna Biddy

I woke up and the first thing I wanted was you.

Ey, bir çocuğun en içten gülüşünde kalan güneş, Kitapların içinde sessizce göveren..

Ve bir işçiye ellerinin anlamını öğreten aydınlık, Kalbimi sana uyarlıyorum, akla beni !

And if you're gone, I'm not. The love goes on. It has its own life, eating through the heart,

“Bourbon with Petrarch” by Wendy Battin

It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree, not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fishermen's song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed.

The Priestesses of Astarte, from Pierre Louÿs’ The Songs of Bilitis by Willy Pogany (1926)

We spend so much energy on made-up competitions that happen mostly in our own minds. Our culture might have made us believe that this way of being is good, but all it really does is increase our sense of separateness and put people against each other, causing useless suffering in pretty much everyone involved.

It seems to me that unlearning this habit is necessary not only for us to live more fulfilling lives but also so we can build better communities with each other.

Thank you for seeing museums in me where I saw empty hallways.

You don’t want to let go, but don’t want to be hurt, either. It’s not a great place to be but what can I tell you?

You have dug your soul out of the dark, you have fought to be here; do not go back to what buried you.

No relationship is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella and survive the storms together.

Sağım solum kış, şehir,

Üstüne ay mavisi düşmüş, bazen uzak nehir.

Dünya bana göre bazen.. bazı zehir.
