Suddenly you’re ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you’re alive and it’s spectacular.

Joseph Campbell (via wordsnquotes)

Life

You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.

Harlan Ellison (via wordsnquotes)

Ignorance isn't bliss!!

I’ve always put your happiness before mine and maybe that’s why I’m sad. I’ve put everyone’s happiness before mine expecting someone to do the same and no one ever did.

One day someone will.

One day I will forgive you; until then there are scabs everywhere that you have touched me.

Salvador Plascencia, The People of Paper (via wordsnquotes)

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

Thích Nhất Hạnh (via wordsnquotes)

Rejection doesn’t hurt, expectation does. Lying doesn’t destroy, denial does. Forgetfulness doesn’t heal, forgiveness does.

Dignity /ˈdignitē/ noun 1. The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache. 2. The moment you realize God had greater plans for you that don’t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes. 3. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education and your parent’s wisdom. 4. The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do. People’s opinions don’t matter. 5. The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself. 6. The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life. However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion and a willingness to risk it all. If it is not yours, it is because you really didn’t want it, need it or God prevented it. 7. The moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you loved. They really don’t want you mucking up the family line with someone that acts anything less than honorable. 8. The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person. They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission. 9. The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning. It is just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations to grow from. 10. The moment you realize that you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.

Shannon L. Alder (via wordsnquotes)

Such truth. Let's all have a little dignity for ourselves.

Though I may seem at times somewhat distant from you, through the gray mist of my own moods, I am never far; my thoughts always circle around you.

Friedrich Nietzsche (via wordsnquotes)

You are on my mind

You make me happy when skies are grey. You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away…

Pine Ridge Boys, “You Are My Sunshine”  (via wordsnquotes)
