The stars tell us to shine; the world tells us we are broken.

shall we focus on what we excel at? or fix what’s broken? // Hina Syeda (via hinasyeda)

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

John Lennon (via naturaekos)

I COULD'VE LIVED NOT THINKING ABT THIS YK 😞😞😞😞

MAX IS THE TYPE OF GUY TO. . .

✶ Compare the size of your hand with his own just to have an excuse to hold hands.

✶ Brush a strand of hair away from your face because he doesn’t like when your hair hides your big round eyes from him. His thumb caressing your cheek before pulling away.

✶ Look at your lips as you talk, mesmerised by them. Even more so after a make out session when they’re swollen and red.

✶ Clumsy flirt with you because he gets shy.

✶ Bring you your favorite candy every time he goes out or comes home after a trip.

✶ Write little notes on post-its and leave them inside your books, so you’ll find them when picking up a new one to start.

✶ Touch your hand under the table at family dinners or events, seeking comfort.

✶ Switch positions while walking down a busy street to keep you from harms ways.

✶ Give you massages. He has a special collection of oils and creams just to give you back and shoulder massages to help you relax.

✶ Never raise his voice at you.

✶ Always remember the little things, even if you said it a while ago or don’t even remember saying it. He always remembers everything when it comes to you.

✶ Take care of you when you’re not feeling well, not leaving your side until you fall asleep and guarding your sleep even if it means to stay up all night.

✶ Hold your face in his hands and smile fondly at you before leaning in and kissing you.

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people.”

— Carl Jung

Do you know how much it sucks? Losing a best friend? Like actually losing your other and better half? Losing someone you talked to every day, all the time? Someone you looked forward to talking to regardless of what it was, even if it was a fight? Losing someone you gave everything to, to the point where I have nothing else to give anyone else, when the other person can’t even give you the time of day? Losing the person you’d spend every day with if you could? The one person that made you smile. The person that hurt you a million times, over and over, but you still forgave them and would do it all over again if given the chance. The person you do give anything just to see them more time.

Do you really know?

If we all die eventually why does it matter if I want to go earlier?

sometimes committed relationships are “boring”. they’re errands and chores and just sitting around together. that doesn’t mean the spark is gone. it doesn’t mean you have to have excitement all the time. you’ve just settled into comfort together.

Imagine falling in love and it works out for the rest of your life.

you still have so many years to meet so many people you never knew you could love so much
