A positive state of mind is not merely good for you, it benefits everyone with whom you come into contact, literally changing the world.
Dalai Lama (via shannonisfromvenus)(Source: hoarding-cats, via badgeroncrack)
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
Paulo Coelho (via kari-shma)
We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.
Kurt Vonnegut (via dolefulness)(Source: quote-book, via wewereshoutingsecrets)
She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you would never know.
Sarah Dessen (This Lullaby)(Source: myquotelibrary, via myquotelibrary)
I can’t feel bad about being who I am, just like the girl next to me can’t feel bad about being who she is. Because a rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose.

I was never satisfied. I had trouble sleeping. I didn’t really fit. I always feel that I’m searching for something deeper, something more. You want to meet other people that challenge you with ideas or with power or with passion. I wanted to live very fully. I wanted to live many lives and explore many things. There’s certainly a side of me that isn’t completely… sane. Or completely ‘even’ all the time. We all have our dark sides.

I didn’t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that’s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.
