Modern day hippie (minus the promiscuousness and drug abuse) by day, hopeless romantic idealist by night. <3


ps. I'm obsessed with quotes.

“ Half of our mistakes in life arise from feeling when we ought to think, and thinking when we ought to feel. John Churton
“ You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn’t really your home anymore? All of a sudden, even though you have someplace where you can put your stuff. That idea of home is gone. It just sort of happens one day& it’s just gone. & you can never get it back. It’s like you get homesick for a place that doesn’t exist. I mean, it’s like this rite of passage, you know. You won’t have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, for your kids, for the family you start. It’s like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that’s all a family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place. the X (via jackaaa)
“ You know when I said I knew a little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate… it made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves… you could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and… what I’m trying to say is… I think I love you. Is this love? I never imagined I’d know it for myself. My heart… it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it’s trying to escape because it doesn’t belong to me anymore. It belongs you you. And if you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstration of devotion. Nothing but know you loved me too. Just your heart in exchange for mine. the X (via jackaaa)
“ you aren’t the only reason I smile, but you’re definitely my favorite. the X (via jackaaa)
“ I love what you are, and what you do and how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength that carries you through. I’ve seen the best of you. I’ve seen the worst of you. 
And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. And I love you.. the X (via jackaaa)
“ At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we’ve chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need. the X (via jackaaa)
“ So how does it happen, great love? Nobody knows, but what I can tell you is that it happens in the blink of an eye. One moment you’re enjoying your life, and the next you’re wondering how you ever lived without them. the X (via jackaaa)
“ There’s nothing more valuable 
than having someone in your life 
that reminds you of who you are. the X (via jackaaa)
“ Life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. It’s being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. It’s running so hard, you can barely breathe. It’s the feeling of panic when you know you’ve been caught doing something wrong. It’s having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. It’s opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. It’s letting people go because new ones come in, and all the while realizing that life doesn’t have a purpose unless you let it. the X. (this is a good one..) (via jackaaa)
“ Nothing has ever turned out as we expected. It never does. Life’s under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it’s no worse than it is. the X (via jackaaa)
