    “Perfectly Imperfect

    We have all heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency and effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the opportunity to take their own path. They are on the same journey, but each takes a different path.
    Along this gravity-driven journey, some snowflakes collide and damage each other, some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind... there are so many transitions and changes that take place along the journey of the snowflake. But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself perfectly shaped for its journey.
    I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful reflection of grand orchestration. One of these parallels is of snowflakes and us. We, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we become altered... we take different physical forms. But at all times we too are 100% perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey. I’m not perfect for your journey and you’re not perfect for my journey, but I’m perfect for my journey and you’re perfect for your journey. We’re heading to the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re both exactly perfect the way we are.
    Think of what understanding this great orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with others knowing that they too each share this parallel with the snowflake. Like you, they are headed to the same place and no matter what they may appear like to you, they have taken the perfect form for their journey. How strong our relationships would be if we could see and respect that we are all perfectly imperfect for our journey.”
    Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

    Ashly Lorenzana
    “People accuse me of falling in love easily. It just means that I'm able to see the beauty in most of the people who cross paths with me and I appreciate it for what it is and also for what it isn't. Love is imperfect. Falling for someone's flaws is just as necessary as falling for their strengths. And people like myself, who fall into love easily, are sometimes the loneliest souls around at the end of the day.”
    Ashly Lorenzana

    Oscar Wilde
    “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
    Oscar Wilde

  • #4
    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • #5
    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    Cassandra Clare
    “The more you try to crush your true nature, the more it will control you. Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

  • #7
    Charlotte Eriksson
    “All I wanted was to live a life where I could be me, and be okay with that. I had no need for material possessions, money or even close friends with me on my journey. I never understood people very well anyway, and they never seemed to understand me very well either. All I wanted was my art and the chance to be the creator of my own world, my own reality. I wanted the open road and new beginnings every day.”
    Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

    John Lennon
    “You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!”
    John Lennon

    Marilyn Manson
    “I never said to be like me, I say be yourself and make a difference.”
    Marilyn Manson

    Steve Maraboli
    “You have a unique gift to offer this world. Be true to yourself, be kind to yourself, read and learn about everything that interests you and keep away from people who bring you down. When you treat yourself kindly and respect the uniqueness of those around you, you will be giving this world an amazing gift... YOU!”
    Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

    Tyler Kent White
    “Never apologize for burning too brightly or collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made.”
    Tyler Kent White

    Jack Kerouac
    “because he had no place he could stay in without getting tired of it and because there was nowhere to go but everywhere, keep rolling under the stars...”
    Jack Kerouac, On the Road

  • #13
    Charlotte Eriksson
    “There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I'm born to leave.”
    Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

  • #14
    Robert W. Service
    “There's a race of men that don't fit in,
    A race that can't sit still;
    So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will.
    They range the field and rove the flood,
    And they climb the mountain's crest; Their's is the curse of the gypsy blood,
    And they don't know how to rest.”
    Robert Service

    “The Wanderlust has got me... by the belly-aching fire”
    Robert W. Service, Rhymes of a Rolling Stone

  • #17
    Roman Payne
    “A person does not grow from the ground like a vine or a tree, one is not part of a plot of land. Mankind has legs so it can wander.”
    Roman Payne, The Wanderess

  • #18
    J. Maarten Troost
    “Paradise was always over there, a day’s sail away. But it’s a funny thing, escapism. You can go far and wide and you can keep moving on and on through places and years, but you never escape your own life. I, finally, knew where my life belonged. Home.”
    J. Maarten Troost, Getting Stoned with Savages: A Trip Through the Islands of Fiji and Vanuatu

    John Steinbeck
    “You don't even know where I'm going."
    "I don't care. I'd like to go anywhere.”
    John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

  • #21
    Sarah Reijonen
    “How you live your life is up to you. You have to go out and grab the world by the horns. Rope it before it ties you down and decides for you.”
    Sarah Reijonen, Country Girl: Letting Love & Wanderlust Take the Reins

  • #22
    Gayle Forman
    “You thought too hard. Same with travel. You can't work too much at it, or it feels like work. You have to surrender yourself to the chaos. To the accidents.”
    Gayle Forman, Just One Day

  • #23
    “The moon is a loyal companion.
    It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
    Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

  • #24
    Roman Payne
    “Never did the world make a queen of a girl who hides in houses and dreams without traveling.”
    Roman Payne, The Wanderess

  • #25
    Roman Payne
    “I was an adventurer, but she was not an adventuress. She was a 'wanderess.' Thus, she didn’t care about money, only experiences - whether they came from wealth or from poverty, it was all the same to her.”
    Roman Payne, The Wanderess

  • #26
    Henry James
    “She had an immense curiosity about life, and was constantly staring and wondering.”
    Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

  • #27
    Saul D. Alinsky
    “Life is an adventure of passion, risk, danger, laughter, beauty, love; a burning curiosity to go with the action to see what it is all about, to go search for a pattern of meaning, to burn one's bridges because you're never going to go back anyway, and to live to the end.”
    Saul D. Alinsky, Reveille for Radicals

  • #28
    Charlotte Eriksson
    “So for now,
    I will miss you like I’ll never see you again,
    And the next time I see you,
    I will kiss you like I’ll never kiss you again,
    And when I fall asleep beside you
    I will fall asleep as if I’ll never wake up again,
    because I don’t know if I will.
    I don’t know if I will.

    - I Will Love You Like The World Is Ending”
    Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

  • #29
    Charlotte Eriksson
    “Let me wake up next to you, have coffee in the morning and wander through the city with your hand in mine, and I'll be happy for the rest of my fucked up little life.”
    Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

  • #30
    Charlotte Eriksson
    “I thought that if I owned nothing, had nothing, was nothing, I would have nothing left to lose, and I wouldn't be scared anymore. Because my whole life I’ve been so damn scared. Scared to live because I was scared to die. But at the same I was so scared of living, so I wanted to die. Or maybe so scared of dying that I refused to live. You don't have to be afraid to fall, when you're already on the ground. You don't have to be scared to lose someone, when there's no one around to lose.”
    Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

  • #31
    Jack Kerouac
    “...but I preferred reading the American landscape as we went along. Every bump, rise, and stretch in it mystified my longing.”
    Jack Kerouac, On the Road
