“I don’t believe in failure, because simply by saying you’ve failed, you’ve admitted you attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fail in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them.”
—Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen (via crimsun)
“When we read a story, we inhabit it.
The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls.
What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story.
And this is possible because the story’s voice makes everything its own.” —

“I’d rather be around a passionate nerd than a non-passionate cool person. Because if you lack passion, your soul is diminishing by the second. You have to be passionate about something. Call it obsessed or whatever you want, but be obsessed about something. Obsessed people care. I’m passionate about so many things, it becomes an issue at certain points, but at least you have the ability to feel that much about something.”

“It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard, she said, is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.”
—Shauna Niequist
long-distance relationships really, really suck
a couple months ago, I honestly did not think it would be this hard
“Grief is a most peculiar thing; we’re so helpless in the face of it. It’s like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it.”

sometimes I just wish I could think, “I want to do ___” and then just go up and do it
sophomore year of high school I had this moment of, “oh god I want to study abroad for a year in Italy” and I should’ve just talked to my parents right then and there but I thought about it too much, planned and plotted and scrutinized it from all angles and suffocated the wanting to death
