Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
“
| — | Dr. Seuss (via iamblessed) (via quote-book) |
Forget about your lists and do what you can because that’s all you can do. Phone up the people you miss and tell them you love them. Hug those close to you as hard as you can. Because you are always only a drunk driver’s stupidity, a nervous shopkeeper’s mistake, a doctor’s best attempts and an old age away from forever.

Something is wrong with me
I’m so incredibly sad, and I have no idea why. I feel so alone. I don’t have any friends anymore. I really don’t. People say they are my friends, but they’re not. They don’t know me. I don’t tell anyone anything anymore. I’ve cut everyone who is close to me off. I can’t stop crying. I don’t know why.
You can’t love someone for what they stand for or seem to be. You have to love them for their details, for the little things that are true of them and only them.

Some thoughts I keep to myself, because I am afraid of how real they will become once I speak them out loud.
(via possiblydreaming)
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
