Not a step backward

"Going back to a simpler life is not a step backward."

-Yvon Chouinard

Bad decisions can be correct

"Things usually make sense in time, and even bad decisions have their own kind of correctness."

-Miranda July

Mine

"I watched the dinner plates from IKEA break and shatter into a million, tiny pieces on the basement floor. It was like a fireworks show made out of porcelain.

I remember wanting to scream up at God in that moment 'I don't want memories. I just want something that will always, constantly be mine. Give me something, anything, I'll always be able to hold.'

I'm terribly unoriginal in that sense. I am just one in a sea of millions of people who think the word 'mine' is the most terrifying and intoxicating word in the whole English language."

-Hanna Brencher

To all other roads

"No single decision you ever made has led in a straight line to where you find yourself now. You peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. You followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. Ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads."

-Deepak Chopra

Both right now

“both.

i want to stay.
i want to leave.
i am three oceans away from my soul.”

- nayyirah waheed, from “lost” 

Little big

“The little things? The little moments? — They aren’t little.”

- John Zabat-Zinn  

Marks

“No matter

how temporarily
two souls are interwoven,
they always leave a mark.

But not every mark is a bruise.

Loving him was an honor,
never a burden."

- Noor Shirazie (via aestheticintrovert)
