"Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here."

— Eve Ensler (via misswallflower)

"When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. “It’s all right” we whisper, “I’m here, I love you.” and we lie: “I’ll never leave you.” For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad."

— Neil Gaiman (via lovrdreamr)

"I know in the back of my mind that life would be so much easier if I never talked to you again. If I shut you out of my life and moved on. If I could finally get over you. But you’re the only thing that makes me happy, whether it’s right or wrong. I just don’t have the strength to give up on that."
