She was unstoppable. Not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them.

Don’t lose heart if it’s very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
Vincent van Gogh (via wnq-art)
I love this. And hear it always.
the old voices
mossed inside
some odd tenorthey know the
tepid waterwhereas
we have barely touched
the sea-songDark burgundy she,
lure the lum and lull of her
Oh, so lovely…!
I bent my head in prayer only to ask for a God I could relate to.
I still have never heard Their voice
but I’ve heard your unsteady breath
on days when I prayed to disappear into eternity.I haven’t prayed to God in years, but there were nights I prayed to you.
Don’t wait for it…Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you.
Anaïs Nin (via wordsnquotes)
i am
afraid
that if i
open
myself i will not
stop pouring. (why do i fear
becoming a river. what mountain
gave me such shame.)
Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.

I have never before, had the fortune of falling in love with a landscape so fast. Northumberland and Cumbria are some of the most beautiful places I have been.
By Freddie Ardley Photography
keep calm child,
the waves that are threatening to swallow you,
are just darker days that have yet to catch up.
you are faster than light, than a thousand hearts racing,
I am trying to tell you that
we all sputter a little trying to break the surface
skin
bone
air
anything,
do not fret
we are all endlessly swimming
you are not alone in this. K. Kazik. (via these-chains-are-daisies)
I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.

This is how I picture the world will end. Earth, Air, Water, Fire.
So beautiful.
Nature Installations by Nils-Udo
Bavarian artist Nils-Udo works directly with nature to create site-specific installations, which highlight the transient beauty of nature. By using leaves, berries, leaves, branches, and blossoms, Nils-Udo creates colorful pieces, which change and disintegrate within time. Similar to Andy Goldsworthy’s work, Udo’s work showcases the temporariness of nature and its seasons. Nothing is eternal.
Love never gives up, but passion must be fed to last….

Once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.
A sensual portrait of a Princess
The artist could only get away with such a sensuous full-length portrait, reminiscent of harem scenes and odalisques, because of the Princess’ unassailable social position.
Her gently arched eyebrows and gaze out to the viewer acknowledges you who stands before her.

The most important thing is to be true to yourself, however you feel, and not try to feel or behave differently because you think you should, or someone has told you how you must feel. But do think about it. Unexamined feelings lead to all kinds of trouble.
She was bad at love. She loved too hard.
If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value.
