“I will not wait to love as best as I can. We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love.”

— Dave Eggers (via quotemadness)

Why is there not a Carfax for people and relationships? Like some kind of fact check before you go walk into something that you shouldn't have?

*on a date*

Me: show me the LoveFax!

*tiny fox with a stack of papers jumps out from under the table*

🦊: "This person has a history of cheating, mental abuse, and using people! Also they have a daddy kink!"

Me: *flipping table* Thanks LoveFax!

☁️🔥

Some days, you'll wake up on a cloud. The world will be a beautiful place, and it'll seem as though not a damn thing would ever hurt you.

Other days, you'll wake up in a fire. The world only seems to want to burn you, and you'll feel like there's no escape.

Believe it or not, there's a balance between these types of days. Maybe the fire will blaze right through your nice and cloudy day. Or perhaps the clouds will bring rain that will finally cease the flames.

Life has its ups and downs. You just simply need to learn how to adapt.

Delightful Disasters

A tornado may destroy a house, but it can also move helpful pollen to places it would have never been before.

A fire may burn through a forest, but it can also keep you warm and cozy at night.

A storm may ruin a perfect wedding day, but it can also soothe the troubled and broken to a good night's rest.

Even the most disastrous things can have a positive outcome.

3 Important Rules About Life

1. Never make promises you can't keep.

2. Always expect the unexpected.

3. Mistakes are just lessons learned.

Caring, Yet Careless

My whole life, I've found myself to be the one that cares for others.

And not in an arrogant, pretentious sort of way, but in a way that makes me feel as though it is my sole purpose to put others before myself.

And I just sit here wondering when I'll realize that I've never learned how to care for myself.

Sad World 🌎🙁

We're living in a world where it seems like everyone is competing to see who's living the worst life.

And frankly, it seems to be a tight competition thus far.

Never Settle

Never settle for someone who treats you like a choice..

Find the one who treats you like you're the only thing they have..

I Don't Want To Be

For once in my life, I want to feel like someone's future, and not just their past.

I don't want to be the temporary tattoo that you scrub off in a matter of minutes.

I don't want to be the piece of paper that you scribbled out too many words on and tossed away forever.

I don't want to be just another day gone by to be left out of your memories.

I don't want to be the plant that you let wither away after you left for vacation.

I don't want to be the typo left unfixed in that 3,000 word essay you wrote the night before it was due.

Of all the things that I don't want to be, forgotten somehow hurts the most.

🌷

There's something so beautiful about a rose.

Gorgeous, with its gentle pretty petals.

Yet dangerous, with its sharp unforgiving thorns.

It shows that no matter how great life gets, there's always a chance of pain.

Thrown Away 👕

Just sitting here wondering when I'll find someone who doesn't throw hearts away like an old t-shirt.

But who am I to blame. I've been battered and torn like one anyway.
