The major, overarching aspects of your life will always retreat to the background and become the platform for your day. They will not be the things that capture your wonder and attention, this is reserved for the little things you’ve been overlooking.

Your reason to live should be very much like your reason to listen to music. Once you learn to appreciate all the elements of music you appreciate it more than you ever thought possible. Same goes for life, when you stop overlooking the smaller elements and really tune in to what it has to offer: nature, human connections, animals, love, passion, etc. you appreciate it more than you ever thought possible.

Never assume she’s into traditional gender roles, or even worse, that she should be.

We let our minds talk us out of our own contentment with petty complaints and minor issues that we irrationally expound upon.

Maybe there are different roads we can choose to take, but the destinations will always be the same.

Whether or not you “should” be upset over one thing or another.

Never mustering up the courage to do what it is they know is right in their hearts.

“True love cannot be found where it doesn’t exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does.”

So what we have to learn to do is to accept the love we aren’t given. To realize that although we put someone on a pedestal, that does not mean that their judgment determines us.

Whether or not you love someone.

When that little voice rears it’s ugly head and tells you at the most mundane moment: but you don’t really love them.

We have a tendency to exacerbate relationships by the way in which we categorize them as good bad or ugly, and yet, for some reason, no matter which way we go, we always want to hold on for just a little bit longer.

City lights on the street after it just rained.

Loving someone more than you love yourself.

Chase drinks and dreams, not people.

Realizing that you deserve more than somebody has to offer is unbelievably empowering.

Running from the sadness is what will exhaust you, not feeling it.

If you have to question it that much.
