you get mistaken for strangers by your own friends

"Sometimes the people that you think you need the most, might actually need you more back."

And this one begins where the last one ends

"People that give “it’s too hard” as an excuse for not going after their dreams are not worthy of what they want in the first place."

I can promise you that this is going to be one damn cold winter.

"There are two kinds of emails you can get: the ones you read, and the ones you delete. There are two kinds of people you can be: a person who people want to pay attention to, and a person people find irrelevant. Don’t let yourself become spam in someone else’s life: stay interesting, relevant, and compelling to those you love."

“A friend will joyfully sing with you when you are on the mountain top, and silently walk beside you through the valley."

I ain't here to break it, just see how far it will bend

"What wretches they are, those who take advantage of the power they have over the heart of another," I said, "and rob him of the simple joys within him! Not all the gifts in the world nor any favour can compensate for a moment of one's personal pleasure that has been made bitter by the envious ill temper of this tyrant of ours!"

"You cannot hate him who glows with his whole heart for you."

"Anything that does harm to oneself or one's neighbor deserves to be called a vice. Isn't it sad enough that we cannot make each other happy? Must we rob one another of the pleasure every heart can sometimes provide for itself? Show me the person who is ill-humored yet good enough to bear it alone, without destroying the happiness around him. Isn't ill humor actually an inner annoyance with our own unworthiness, a dislike of ourselves, and isn't it somehow always connected with the envy that is egged on by our own foolish vanity? We see happy people whom we are not making happy, and we cannot bear it."

"If only man would tell himself daily: you owe your friends nothing but to leave them their joys and increase their happiness by sharing it with them. Can you give them a little comfort when they are tormented by fear? And when the poor creature, whose soul you undermined in fairer days, is struggling with his last, fateful illness and lies there pitiful in his exhaustion, looking up at the sky, all feeling spent, the dew of death on his pale brow, and you stand by his deathbed like one damned, with the profound feeling that with everything in your power you can do nothing to help, and you are gripped by a dreadful fear and would give anything in the world if only you could imbue his perishing soul with one ounce of strength…"

"Very few things in life improve by over thinking them–take what most people say at face value, especially when they are talking about their feelings. For example, if a boy says “no thanks–I don’t want a relationship with you” he is either telling the truth or has something else going on in his life that he won’t tell you. All the thinking in the world won’t answer that question, so move on."

Days go by, I'm hypnotized. I'm walking on a wire, I close my eyes and fly out of my mind

Hold on to your panties, Tumblr.

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."
