“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today." ~ Lawrence M. Krauss

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If you don’t know love, someone will come along and teach you how to hate yourself, then you’ll confuse the two!”
No one can tell you all that love is, but I can tell you what it isn’t. One thing that I’ve found to be true is that REAL LOVE doesn’t hurt – at all. And when you are hurting, it’s not from a place of love! Don’t confuse the two.
So many people have entered into a relationship where neither party knew real love. Then their insecurities surfaced and they projected them onto one another. Next they selfishly tried to make the other person fill voids in their life. Miserably, they failed. It resulted in fights and nights filled with tears. Then to top it off, they called it love!
News flash: that’s not love, that’s self-hate.
Evaluate your relationship today. If your partner isn’t adding to you then they are taking away from you. It is very possible to have a relationship without any love in it. So please don’t label a toxic relationship as love. It’s part of the reason why love has a bad name today.
Before you can love anyone, you must first love yourself. A part of loving yourself is being strong enough to let someone go so that the both of you can grow. Then take time to learn what real love is and what a healthy relationship is. Then, and only then, are you ready to enter into a relationship.
Love speaks languages of it’s own and pain isn’t one of them.
~ Tony A. Gaskins Jr.

Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes just sitting thinking, ‘Oh, people are such a bunch of assholes,’ but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating. ~ Anneli Rufus

Don't let her go to sleep upset.
'Because, she’ll only toss and turn in frustration, until sadness pulls her into sleep, and tears stain her pillow. You’ll be her first thought when she wakes up, and more than anything, she’ll wish she could go back to sleep, back to the silence, to the empty blackness. Don’t do this to her, she’s worth so much more, if she wasn’t, she wouldn’t care.'

Mumford & Sons: After The Storm
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart but dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
And love will not break your heart but dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair

I'm still fighting feeling discarded from my last relationship. I mean, he was my best friend. how does one go from talking for hours on end every single night for months.. to nothing.. like the absence of my presence was left to be unnoticed. like I was never even there.. I'm tired of feeling like it always matters more to me than the other person. it still hurts..
I deserve better than that..
I deserve better than that..

from this moment on I vow to spend my time with my nose buried in books, constantly in spiritual ascension. I promise to love myself more, be more forgiving of my flaws & imperfections. to remember storms will pass. to live & breathe love. if my life is never remembered after this mortal existence has ceased, my love & passion will be dispersed throughout the universe for the greater good of mankind..
I will love with everything in me.. no matter the risk..
I will love with everything in me.. no matter the risk..

When.
'When you begin developing feelings for someone that you have no rational explanation as to why you feel that way. When their voice makes you instantly smile like an idiot. When you can’t stop thinking about them because they’re the most beautiful soul you’ve ever seen. When their voice literally takes you to another place where this world ends and it’s only you and them. When you can feel their soft lips and skin against yours from a thousand miles away. When you dream about them all the time, even when you’re awake. When you find them so incredibly sexy that your fantasies pale in comparison. When nothing else in the world matters to you except their beautiful smile. When you realize in that instant that your world would be less beautiful without their laughter in it. When you know in your heart that you have found true love but your insecurities have you frozen in fear. When you feel unworthy to have the love of someone so amazingly beautiful. When you know there is no price you wouldn’t pay and no thing you wouldn’t do to be the person that gets to love them and hold them in your arms for the rest of their life.' ~ James Raven

dear me, about six weeks ago
don’t answer his text. don’t even talk to him. he’s only going to break your heart again.
your love will be returned & appreciated. you'll have someone show you that you are worthy of all those things you were willing to give & more. he's sweet, sensitive & funny. hes not the dog you perceive him to be. enjoy him. & dont push him away again.

life: in progress.
I am more than what I've been branded as..
my life is constant shift these days. but chaos serves evolution right.?. I must always remember I know nothing. I am but a collective experience of the universe & I should be so thankful she chooses to speak through me. I am a guide & a student. infinite. I will shed preconceived notions of how I think things should be & remember life is happening for me, not to me.
