“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.”
—Eve Ensler (via cultivate-solitude)
Confessions of an Aries #4
I realized I always have a thousand different projects going on but sometimes I find it hard to finish them all. I’ll abandon one idea once I get a new one because it’s more exciting and fresh.
“I love everyone around me. Family, friends… but for me to like someone in particular, and learn to love them is different. It’s a process of initiating myself to know the person on many different levels, then changing the word ‘like’ to ‘love’. There are hurdles for those words to go under transition. First, I must be able to open my arms to this new venture; Secondly, allow the hurts of the past to flow out and be grateful for the things that happened – because things happen for a reason. And last but not the least, opening my heart and mind to new things that the soul inside is happily taking a new path of adventure.”

“What we find in a soulmate is not something wild to tame but something wild to run with.”

“
For women who are tied to the moon, love alone is not enough. We insist each day wrap it’s knuckles through our heart strings and pull. The lows. The joy. The poetry. We dance at the edge of a cliff, you have fallen off. So it goes. You will climb up again.
You rare girl, once again, you have a body that belongs to no lover, to no father, belongs to no one but you. Wear your sorrow like the lines on your palm. Like a shawl to keep you warm at night. Don’t mourn the love that is lost to you now. It is a book of poems whose meters worked their way into your pulse. Even if it has slipped from your hands, it will stay in your body.
You loved a man who treated you like absinthe, half poison and half god. He tried to sweeten you, to water you down. So you left. And now you have your heart all to yourself again. A heart like a stone cottage. Heart like a lover’s diary. Hope like an ocean.

“Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn that anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”
—David Whyte (via the-healing-nest)
“You get depressed because you know that you’re not what you should be.”
—Marilyn Manson (via woefulignorance)
“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery—isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”
—Charles Bukowski. (via cultivate-solitude)
“Be brave and bold and never ever let yourself be intimidated by people who laugh about you, who don’t respect you and critizice your opinion, and who would prefer you would just disappear into a hole and die. The same people, I found, usually can’t even formulate an opinion, much less express it in their blog, or they change their opinion from day to day. The same kind of people keep looking at your blog daily even though they say they don’t like it. Thank God such people are an exception. ☮❤☮❤”
