You never know what’s in a person’s heart until they’re tested, do you?
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Fannie Flagg
I wanted the whole world or nothing.
Charles Bukowski

As I get older, I recognize just how important it is to be surrounded by people who deeply believe in our value and goodness even when we lose our footing. It took me years to rid myself of the lite-dimmers and it has been much clearer sailing since. Not that there isn’t value in having difficult people to overcome, but eventually it becomes essential to be surrounded by those who lift and wish us higher. If they don’t see you in your highest light, wish them well and cut the cord.

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
There comes a time when all your outlets are blocked, as with wax. You sit in your room, feeling the prickling ache in the your body which constricts your throat, tightens dangerously in little tear pockets behind your eyes. One word, one gesture, and all that is pent up in you - festered resentments, gangrenous jealousies, superfluous desires - unfulfilled - all that will burst out of you in angry impotent tears - in embarrassed sobbing and blubbering to no on in particular. No arms will enfold you, no voice will say , ‘There, there. Sleep and forget.’
The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
It’s no good trying to keep up old friendships. It’s painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it.
W. Somerset Maugham (via thechocolatebrigade)
I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore.
Kurt Vonnegut, Unready to Wear

A couple of times in your life, it happens like that. You meet a stranger, and all you know is that you need to know everything about them.

Don’t attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention because you’re lonely. Loneliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best you can do is know yourself… know what you want.

Devotion, obsession - try to tell them apart.
