The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

He does realize what he lost. And that’s why he can’t speak to you now.

I’m a very strong believer that whoever is meant to be in your life will always gravitate back towards you, regardless how far they wander.

I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.

I think it’s important to realize you can miss something, but not want it back.

(via kamikazecat28)

Dear heart, please have courage. Dear mind, please have confidence.

What do you do when I’m not around?
