“You were not a love lost. In truth, I never knew you. But good god. I could have loved the someone I thought you were.”
— V.P.
“I can’t bring myself to look into the eyes that saw everything I was and decided it wasn’t enough,”
15:00 - I was never enough, was I? (moondustanddreams)
“Let me steal another glance at you, for just a second longer than it takes me to memorize the look of your eyes at 10 AM. Stay like this darling, lost in your own world, as mine becomes entranced by you, and your tranquility in this moment will be forever immortalized in my memory, as the pace of my breathing slows, and the rate of my heartbeat quickens, and the poetry, coursing through my veins, writes itself.”
— V.I.P.P.// A four-letter word.
“Don’t trust anyone who looks up at the sky and doesn’t reckon with themselves. If the stars can’t humble him, neither can you.”
— excerpt from a book I’ll never write (via yourhandwrittenletter)
“I got lost On my way home Because the roads seemed more like home Than the destination itself.”
— I don’t know where my home is, don’t know where i belong.
“i find it funny when people say they want to ‘change the world.’ everything you do every day changes the world. small things like offering praise, holding the door, sending a text that says ‘thinking of you, just wanted to say hey’ – those are the things that change the world for the better. most of us will never touch millions with music like the Beatles. most of us will never inspire like Tony Robbins or Barack Obama. but every one of us can pass on a simple kindness. no matter what you call it – the flap of a butterfly’s wings, a ripple in humanity – the small actions are what make big changes.”
— i told a kid he was riding his two-wheeler like a pro and it made his day which made my day.
“I don’t think you should ever give up on love completely, no matter how much you’ve been hurt or how broken you feel. It doesn’t have to be romantic love if you don’t want it to be – you can still be a loving person and not be in love… but don’t ever close your heart completely. Be kind. Be gentle. Be empathetic. Each of these are, in their own way, an act of love. Love is everywhere if you want it to be… even in safe places. It is in the faces of family and friends, it is in the bond an animal shares with you… it is in the smell of the rain as it kisses parched earth. You don’t have to look for love to find it; it’s a feeling, a warmth…and it is everywhere… You can’t avoid it, and nor should you try; it is the reason you are here… the reason for your existence… a quiet purpose trying to reveal itself…”
— Ranata Suzuki (via wnq-writers)
