The most meaningful things, are often the most uncomfortable. But that's when growth happens.

In the scheme of things, life may be short. But it's the longest thing you'll ever do. So do something with it.

More often than not, the parts of ourselves that we hide from the world, end up hiding a whole world from us.

Quote: Shel Silverstein

I might be fragile, but I am also mendable. Sometimes, I have to remind myself of that.

There are so many fragile things, after all.  

People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts. 

-Neil Gaiman

I wonder about all the beautiful moments I've missed out on, because we're all so scared to be truly vulnerable.

I wish I could have mercy, or peace, for my own beat-up life.

-The Secret life of Bees

Maybe I loved you more than you loved me. But I would rather love too much, than not enough.

To the people who lift my soul, please stay. And to the people who steal from it, I hope I'm strong enough to say goodbye.

New York I love you for all of the crazy, beautiful, wonderful people who currently inhabit you. I’ve never felt a love like you before.

“You’re already home where you feel love.”  

Don't look back. And don't regret your choices. Not unless you plan to build on your past.

If you ever find yourself looking at someone and thinking, 'you care too much,' don't say it to them. Instead, tell them you love them, and you're luckier than hell that they crossed paths with your life. -Erin Forquer

Hold onto whatever you can, with whatever you have left. Until it's time to let go.

Sometimes, the world breaks my heart. -Erin Forquer

I hope you find your exception.. to every rule

Nostalgia is a seductive liar.. but you are my only exception. 

Life is ambiguous. So live your questions now. Because the answers will not be revealed until they make the least amount of sense.

Art is a lie that tells the truth. -Picasso

Life is a contradiction. The best you can do is try to find beauty in the pain. -Erin Forquer

There is always light, and peace, in being who you are (even if the world disagrees).

-e.e. cummings

-Steinbeck

Hold onto what you can... hold onto what keeps you alive.

Maybe, we have to believe in the things we don't believe are permanent....

I'm still in mourning

over ghosts that broke my heart

before I met you. 

-Laura Marling

Our arrival might not end up where we expected, but it's where we're supposed to be. Don't let the pain deter you.

-Quote A.J. Cook

-Quote Erin Forquer

If people would look out at each other, the way they look up at the stars, the world wouldn't be such a lonely place.

Mockingbirds don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. I wish people were so kind to each other.

"I think there's only one kind of folks... Folks."

-To Kill a Mockingbird

A reminder... for the days when I wish my heart was as numb as my legs.

My heart has an elephant's memory (for pain).

"Will you ever be able to forgive me?"

"I don’t know. I hope so. But the heart has a memory of it’s own." -Erin Forquer

Sometimes things happen to us.. and sometimes, people do too.

You want to know what happened to me? YOU. You, happened.. to me.

Maybe all my fears, about everything, boiled down to one thing: what if you need them, but they don't need you? 

Find yourself. Who else is there, really?

Quote: e.e. cummings

We find strength in the strangest of places... and in the deepest of wounds.

Perhaps the greatest change we can make, is living in the moment.

"Peace isn't a permanent state. It exists in moments...fleeting. 

Gone before we even know it was there.

We can experience it at any time..

In a strangers act of kindness. 

A task that requires complete focus. 

Or simply the comfort of an old routine. 

Every day we all experience these moments of peace.

The trick is to know when they're happening,

so that we can embrace them. 

Live in them... and finally,

Let them go. 

Home, is not a place.. it's a state of being (yourself).

My dream.. is to be able to be myself

Here's to the hope.. that the people who see us, really see us, never forsake our image.

What we give, and what we build, doesn't always create the masterpiece we imagined..

Quote: Erin Forquer

Quote: The Cinematic Orchestra, Damien Rice

As you get older and wander through life, you'll come across people who will save you. From the world, from the pain, and from yourself. No matter where they are, hold onto them desperately.

Quote: Erin Forquer

Trust your struggle. And love your scars (they are beautiful).

When all else has failed you... trust your struggle. -Erin Forquer
