Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer. —  Barbara Kingsolver (via amandaonwriting)

Raise your hand if you’ve spent nights crying yourself to sleep, raise your hand if you’ve felt as if you’d rather hide in bed all day than face the people that make you feel small or powerless! Raise your hand if you’ve felt as if you’d rather lie to people than tell them the truth about who you really are, because at least you wouldn’t be the victim of hateful behavior or prejudice! And raise your hand if lying feels almost as bad —  Dianna Agron. (x)

The goal (in relationships/marriage) is to find your best friend who you get to have a slumber party with for the rest of your life. It is not to find the best looking person and we’re just going to make out all the time and we’re all going to look like we’re 20 forever. The way you look now won’t always be there., but the heart that beats underneath, the personality that fits so well with yours, the person who knows how to celebrate you, that’s what you want. —

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. —  Neil Gaiman, Neil Gaiman’s Midnight Days (via thresca)
