“There are many things you should care about
Like sick animals, dying trees, and saving the bees.
What others think of you
is not one of these things.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Mending the Mind

“you will never be foreign. i’ve seen too much, gone farther than most. your fingerprints are stamped all over my skin. there is no denying you once trespassed here. your footprints left dirt tracks, and i can’t clean up your mess. even though we will never return to the lovers we once knew, our past will stay a part of us. we could never be strangers. i have not forgotten you, and with that, i hope you still think of me.”
― Kiana Azizian, Soft

“Regardless of whether you desire it, love is what sits at the core of the world. It is stronger than greed and hate and jealousy and pain. What brings us together will always be more powerful than what keeps us apart.”
― Trista Mateer, Aphrodite Made Me Do It

“People grow apart. Distance doesn’t always mean miles. Sometimes it means two friends going separate ways. The person you poured your heart out to, traveled through new cities with, called at three in the morning just to get ice cream, suddenly becomes someone who can’t even text you back. So, you start to wonder what happened and where it all went wrong. How can this person who was once your lifeline now be a stranger who holds all your memories? But people change and become caught up in their own lives. They may not even realize they are doing it. Sometimes friends disappear and we don’t know why. But you don’t deserve to be ignored. The things you have to say are important; you should never allow someone to make you feel as though they aren’t. You should never tolerate someone who can’t acknowledge the news you have to share. You don’t need this in your life. Let go of people who don’t make you happy.”
