“I don’t want people to matter to me too much. Sometimes it hurts too much to think about them. Ones you love who don’t love you, ones who are dead or hate you, ones who you think about but never get to be with. I like people but when I get too close, it fucks me up and I can’t get things done.”—Henry Rollins (via lifeisashorttrip-)
“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. And my people shall dwell in a peacable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.”—Isaiah 32: 17-18 (via godsradicaldaughter)
“But the struggles make you stronger, and the changes make you wise. And happiness has its own way of taking its sweet time.”—Gary Allen (via kitastr0phe)
“There is a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasnt because I thought I would be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love? And then you don’t have it. What if you like it? And lean on it? What if you shape your life around it? And then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is, death ends. This? It could go on forever.”—Meredith Grey - Grey’s Anatomy (via quote-book)
“My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry, to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.”— Dr. Maya Angelou (via fuckyeahfamousblackgirls)
