My primary relationship is with myself – all others are mirrors of it. As I learn to love myself, I automatically receive the love and appreciation that I desire from others. If I am committed to myself and to living my truth, I will attract others with equal commitment.

truth. while theres much we cant control, like still attracts like. i find that the closer i get to my core, the more the people drawn to me reflect that. at the same time i have more detractors. but thats to be expected when you challenge norms in a society like ours.

(via bad-dominicana)

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.

Sylvia Plath (via dailystendhalnitesaudade)

Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly… And when I got it it turned to dust in my hands.
