#Deep thoughts

Oof! Yes for sure. You don’t know the reasons behind their circumstances nor is it any of your business. They could be massively kicking goals in all other aspects of their life and you’re focusing on the one thing you think is a measure of success. Not good enough dude!

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

[minimalist-quotes]

One thing people need to understand about extremely kind, nice, and loving people, is that their other side is just as extreme. It's the hell they survive that makes them gentle. Don't mistake their self-control for weakness. The beast in them is sleeping, not dead.

“Even in my dreams, I run to you”

I tell my people all the time. There’s so much to be negative about in the world. If you have good people in your circle make sure you tell them. If you have a positive interaction with a coworker or classmate, tell them. Remind them they are seen! You have no idea the power that can bring.

People really underestimate the power of just telling someone you like them. romantically obviously but hell even just platonically too. You can admit you enjoy peoples presence it doesn’t have to be mind games it’s okay to just be sincere and true with your thoughts and intentions btw

I am not alone, yet I feel lonelier than I ever have before, because sitting here I know that nobody has any interest in who I am or what I have to say. I feel stuck, and can't help wondering, will I ever find my place?

That is actually the truest thing I’ve ever heard and now the only way I will ever think about my skin again. Thank you friend.

skin is not supposed to be perfectly smooth and clear and unblemished. it’s literally like 5 sq ft of organ that’s ENTIRELY ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY. it’s supposed to protect you and your organs and your muscles and ligaments etc. without skin that can adapt we would all be riddled with infections and pain. even “imperfect” skin loves you and doesn’t want you to suffer. be nice to it . it is your friend

Your life is a book; don't jump to the end to see if it's worth it. Enjoy your journey.

If I pass a mirror, I turn away, I do not want to look at her, and she does not want to be seen. Sometimes I don't see exactly how to go on doing this.

- Sharon Olds, from "Stag's Leap"

If you want, at last, to be with me, Show me a side no one will see, A part of you that’s just for me. Let me feel love’s magic play, And the true meaning of giving my heart away.

This is so glorious and from Tumblr...

[minimalist-quotes]

Success is painful If you truly want to succeed, you must stop listening to your feelings and push through the painful times. At first, everyone has a lot of motivation and does a lot, but then, halfway through, most people give up because they no longer feel like it. Don't be one of those who act according to their desires; be one of those who do things even when they don't feel like it. This way, you will achieve real success. If you only pay attention to your mood and feelings, you will start a hundred things but finish none. However, if you persevere with one thing even on tough days, you will have something perfect. And that's how success is achieved, with a vision, a bit of motivation, but fundamentally, it consists of discipline and perseverance.

i often wonder if you are too good to be true.. if one day, the mirage will disappear and i’ll be alone once more, mourning a reality that never was.

Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.
