Quote reblogged from Quote Book:I just thought it was so romantic—the idea that you don’t need to be loved in return in order to love something or someone. Love can come from you. It doesn’t have to be reciprocal. People love their cars. People love all kinds of things, and they really love them. And we don’t really value that kind of love because it’s not a real, reciprocal kind of love, but it’s real love to them…Ryan Gosling (via imfantasyparade)

Dear Society: Please assist me in convincing young girls that “strong is the new skinny”
http://sophieologie.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/strong-is-the-new-skinny/
Encourage them to eat. Don’t let them diet. Discourage the idolization of anorexic and bulimic celebrities. Make them exercise instead. Teach them that “exercise” means running, jumping, sweating, grunting, working hard, and kicking ass- it doesn’t mean flapping their arms around in some trendy, overpriced Trogalaties course, or running on the elliptical until they pass out. Help them realize their own strength. All of these things will help girls realize their full potential, both physically and mentally. It will help girls become self-confident, capable, and literally and figuratively strong. A girl who is encouraged to be strong instead of skinny will have higher self-esteem, respect, ambitions, and worth. She will never be a victim. She will be healthy. She will be a leader. She will be confident. She will be kick-ass.

“The point is we don’t really get perspective on what’s close to us until we spend time away from it. Just like you didn’t realize the weird quirks and nuances of your family until you left and spent time with others, the same is true for country and culture. You often don’t see what’s messed up about your country and culture until you step outside of it.”

I’ve never had depression, but I read this today and it made me understand it so much better. It also made me think about the way I interact with someone who may be going through a low time.
This is perfect.

Quote reblogged from Fall in love with yourselfDo not be afraid of your difficulties. Do not wish you could be in other circumstances than you are. For when you have made the best of an adversity, it becomes the stepping stone to a splendid opportunity.HP Blavatsky (via lazyyogi)

Post reblogged from "...Her laughter was a question..."
The older I get the more I realise there are no grown ups and nobody knows what the fuck they’re doing.

Your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth.
Ain’t nobody got time fur them! Head high, girl, don’t let other people cloud your sense of self.
