My Scars Are Fading But My Sadness Isn’t

“How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever meet them? But you’ll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter.”

— Charles Bukowski

“You can’t change the past but you can alter the future.”

— Don’t give up. (via suspend)

“Worrying means you suffer twice.” -Newt Scamander

I absolutely love Newt!! He is so precious, and I melted when he compared Tina’s eyes to a salamander’s. Anyway, I love how this quote is so true, yet I can’t stop worrying. Guys, chill... and think about Newt Scamander ❤️

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

— Alexander den Heijer

Truthfully, personal growth isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. It’s not only about rejoicing our stronger selves. Growth also involves inner work with our dark sides; those parts of ourselves that we neglect. Both light and dark, we must experience them both.

“Feeling of discontinuity as a person. My various selves… how do they all come together? And anxiety at moments of transition from one “role” to another. Will I make it fifteen minutes from now? Be able to step into, inhabit the person I’m supposed to be? This is felt as an infinitely hazardous leap, no matter how often it’s successfully executed.”

— Susan Sontag, from As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks 1964-1980 (via luthienne)
