Neil Gaiman

“When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. “It’s all right” we whisper, “I’m here, I love you.” and we lie: “I’ll never leave you.” For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad.”

“Relate with others, but relate with yourself also. Love others, but love yourself also. Go out! - the world is beautiful, adventurous; it is a challenge, it enriches. Go out fearlessly - there is nothing to lose, there is everything to gain.”

Augustine.

“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”

Pablo Neruda

“You swallowed everything, like distance, like the sea, like time. This was my destiny and it was the voyage of my longing, in it my longing fell, in you everything sank.”

Helena Beat.

I've tried to say that it's not the only way.
I never knew if I could face myself to change.
You were pacing, I was insecure.
Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison i've been living in.

Osho

“There are only two types of people in the world: those who try to stuff their inner emptiness, and those very rare precious beings who try to see the inner emptiness. Those who try to stuff it remain empty, frustrated. They go on collecting garbage, their whole life is futile and fruitless. Only the other kind, the very precious people who try to look into their inner emptiness without any desire to stuff it, become meditators. Meditation is looking into your emptiness, welcoming it, enjoying it, being one with it, with no desire to fill it — there is no need, because it is already full. It looks empty because you don’t have the right way of seeing it. You see it through the mind; that is the wrong way. If you put the mind aside and look into your emptiness, it has tremendous beauty, it is divine, it is overflowing with joy. Nothing else is needed.”

Just Something To Think About.

“When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.”

Coldplay

Come up to meet you.
Tell you I’m sorry.
You don’t know how lovely you are.
I had to find you.
Tell you I need you.

Love. Love. Love. Love

I'm digging this boy, each time I talk with him. Which is a lot.

Life Is Your Responsibility.

You can’t just sit around and expect things to just happen for you. If there’s something you want, work for it in any way that you can. Things will eventually fall into place very precisely because both effort and focus were put into it. Even getting yourself out of something as damaging as depression is possible if you do what you can to change it; things you love, standing up for what you know is right, going on adventures, gardening, traveling, cooking, collecting, keeping a journal, writing music, drawing, painting, web designing, water rafting, staring at the stars, going to the beach… there are an infinite amount of activities and potential passions available to us if we choose to recognize those things and act on them. The only person that will ever limit what you do is yourself. You can sit around putting the blame on outward circumstances all you want, but I guarantee that it will get you nowhere because your life is your responsibility. It is your choice where you go in life and what you do.

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful

So let me crawl under the sheets with you.

Where I can feel your warm embrace.

The way each curve on our bodies mold together perfectly.

I promise it won’t be long until I meet you in my dreams.

Waking Life.

A thousand years is but an instant. There’s nothing new, nothing different. The same pattern over and over. The same clouds, the same music, the same insight felt an hour or an eternity ago. There’s nothing here for me now, nothing at all. Now I remember. This happened to me before. This is why I left. You have begun to find your answers. Although it will seem difficult, the rewards will be great. Exercise your human mind as thoroughly as possible, knowing it is only an exercise. Build beautiful artifacts, solve problems, explore the secrets of the physical universe. Savor the input from all the senses. Feel the joy and sorrow, the laughter, the empathy, compassion.

Yes.

I find it quite interesting when something composed as complicating as what humans are, we sometimes only crave the simplest things. Just a touch, one smell breath of somewhere new, to hug, the effort to smile, to sleep right next to someone, comfort. All those things. We’re not always selfish.

It's Always Been On You, Always.

You feel good, you feel bad, and these feelings are bubbling from your own unconsciousness, from your own past. Nobody is responsible except you. Nobody can make you angry, and nobody can make you happy.

Eckhart Tolle

If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace. If peace mattered to you more than anything else and if you truly knew yourself to be spirit rather than a little me, you would remain nonreactive and absolutely alert when confronted with challenging people or situations. You would immediately accept the situation and thus become one with it rather than separate yourself from it. Then out of your alertness would come a response. Who you are (consciousness), not who you think you are (a small me), would be responding. It would be powerful and effective and would make no person or situation into an enemy.

I recommend going outside and actually looking around with a blank mind. It feels like a dream, like there’s no worry in the world and we’re all in control. It reminds me that we’re all infinite just like the endless patterns, even just of our world alone.

Something I Seriously Wish I Had.

You want to know what happiness is? It’s waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, shifting under the blankets and feeling the heat of the person next to you. You turn around and see them in their most peaceful, innocent, and vulnerable state. They breathe as though the weight of the world lays on anyone’s shoulder but their own. You smile, kiss their face in the most gentle manner so as not to wake them. You turn back around and an involuntary grin forms on your own face. You feel an arm wrap around your waist, and you know it doesn’t get any better than this.
