It's like picking up trash in dresses

A cynic who secretly wants to be proven wrong.

I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.

—John Green, The Fault is Our Stars

with wonder

I see you,
And I know that I am
saved
from a lifetime of madness and self-destruction.
A bridge is crossed
And I can only feel your skin against mine.
Peace. 

Just for Darwish

Legs grabbing on tight.
Throwing your hands back knowing
I’m never going to let you go,
and look at the world upside down.
Your laugh that puts the voices of Angels to shame.
Blow me a million kisses
and I’ll keep them.
One, two, three and four.
Keep them coming,
coming some more.

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.

—Charles Bukowski, The Night Torn Mad With Footsteps (via theblackquill)

When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things happen in their lives everyday; that the sun rise.

Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.

Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.

—Josh Billings (via myquotelibrary)

I promise to stop the self destruction.
And pull myself out of the comfort zone.
To say things that need to be said.
To be silent when I need to be.
