“Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.’”
—Lisa St. Aubin de Terán (via mindless-clutter)
“There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.”
—Ryan Adams (via rightsideupfromupsidedown)
“Sometimes you do have to laugh to keep from crying. And sometimes the world feels all right and good and kind of like it’s becoming nice again around you. And you realize it, and realize how happy you are in it, and you just gotta laugh.”
—Jacqueline Woodson, Peace, Locomotion (via simply-quotes)
“I don’t get nearly enough credit in life for the things I manage not to say.”
—Meg Rosoff, How I Live Now (via simply-quotes)
“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”
—Albert Einstein (via monogrammedmusings)
“Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you’d follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix.”

Oh do I have one of those people.

“Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.”
