“Doing things — changes things.
Not doing things — leaves things exactly as they were.”
it’s beginning to get to me that I know more of the stars and sea than I do of what’s in your head…
We need to feel breathless with love and not collapsed under its weight.
I’m gasping for the air to fill my lungs with everything I’ve lost.
I can still let it go, I can still learn to grow into a child again. .. Silence is easy—it just becomes me. You don’t even know me; why lie about me?
...Excuse me, are you lost? Perhaps you would care to visit the site map
Accept it
Commend it
Cherish it

“This [election victory] is not the change we seek — it’s the chance to achieve the change we seek.”
I rather wish the quote had ended before the final word.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. … I chose.
A difference, to be a difference, must make a difference.
“in a world where there is no right or wrong, everyone’s relatively right. everything matters. care is not the same as love. real love is not selfish. strife is based on miscommunication or refusal to communicate. not everyone can trust themselves. a person’s life and will is not just their own. ice cream is one of the fundamental substances of happiness. sense of self-responsibility paramounts all other personal traits. having faith is not the same as resigning to fate. everything will always ultimately be okay.”
“It is sometimes a mistake to climb; it is always a mistake never even to make the attempt.”
“it’s easy to turn your back.. but not always so easy to forget.”
“you can never forget what you’ve done. but we adapt. we move on.”
“i still believe in paradise. but now at least i know it’s not some place you can look for. because it’s not where you go, it’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you’re part of something.”
