I’m so “drunk,”

and so tired of being in Italy. If I were home, I’d barely consider this tipsy and I sure as HELL wouldn’t be bawling my eyes out. I’m tired of being alone. I keep telling myself you’re what I need, but I can’t say for sure. I just want to go home and stop being alone. Can’t someone be there to hold me?

“You’re beautiful, but you’re empty. No one could die for you.”

The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry (via daedalsouls)

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (via myquotelibrary)

“A strong woman who recklessly throws away her strength, she is worse than a weak woman who has never had any strength to throw away.”

- Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles: Classic Collection (via thesearepeopleyouknow)

“Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper that we may record our emptiness.”

- Khalil Gibran, Sand and Foam (via itgivesitthewjakeisg)

I’m scared.

I’ve never done this before. I’ve never put my whole self on the line like this. I know I’m fucking it up. I know you have bigger things to deal with. I know my problems are nothing next to yours. You didn’t ask to carry the burden of my heart, but I gave it to you any way. Please don’t hurt me.

“It was not the feeling of completeness I so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.”

Everything Is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer (via creatingaquietmind)
