“Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.”
— Victor Hugo (via misswallflower)
by Dave Fieldhouse
You are healing.
You are growing.
You are evolving.
This is a quiet magic.
To taste the gentle moon,
John Keats, from The Complete Poems and Selected Letters; “Endymion,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
the smell of rain
seeing flowers grow
being excited about something
ice cream on a hot day
being in bed
listening to good songs
smelling nice
giving and receiving compliments
the kindness of strangers
being with friends
reading a good book
being proud of every small victory
buying new treats for yourself
the smell of pastries in a bakery
blue skies and pretty views
by Echo Wang
Van Gogh letters
“The sadness will last forever.”
- Mary Elizabeth Frye
Smoke like souls
Crooked, gnarling ghosts that float right through you.
They are free when they are taken by the wind.
Dissipated, faded into empty air.
Until that’s all that’s left.
Empty space.
Empty?
It must still be full of ghosts.
They must be somewhere.
All the ghosts in this space alone,
How many in this house?
How many in the garden?
The forgotten patrons of this land,
An unimaginable multitude of memories.
Does anyone keep these memories still?
I want to believe that this place gave joy.
I have felt joy here.
I have seen such beauty in this land, but
It has also witnessed my pain.
It has watched my adolescence unfold.
Whoever owns this house next will never know.
Does it remain, in the ghosts
Of the smoke
That stains these walls?
- S.T / moving out
I shall go on shining as a brilliantly meaningless figure in a meaningless world.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned (via mor-iarty)
