a dream of trains

Find what you love and let it kill you.

You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in the sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill you mind.

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.

It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

I don't ask you to love me always like this, but I ask you to remember. Somewhere inside of me there will always be the person I am tonight.

Being tender & open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh'ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don't let someone steal your tenderness. Don't allow the coldness & fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to be truly affected by things.

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Be faithful to your own taste because nothing you really like is ever out of style.

Do everything with so much love in your heart that you would never want to do it any other way.

If you want to be successful, it's just this simple: Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.

Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.

You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

Being unanchored let's us see new harbors.
