We often crave a love that is raw, but when it starts to pierce our being we have a tendency to run.

Quotes
I’m not running away from anything, I’m running towards. I’m running towards love, towards things larger than life. I’m not running away from my problems, I’m simply leaving them behind, leaving them in the past. I don’t need them where I’m going.

Mais mon amour, mon doux, mon tendre, mon merveilleux amour
De l’aube claire jusqu’à la fin du jour
Je t’aime encore, tu sais, je t’aime
Jacques Brel

But, my love, my sweet, my dear, my wonderful love
From clearest dawn until the end of day
I love you again, you know, I love you
Every moment has infinite potential. Every new moment contains for you possibilities that you can’t possibly imagine. Every day is a blank page that you could fill with the most beautiful drawings.
I knew that I was dying.
something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become as
them, accept. then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest
bit.
it needn’t be much, just a spark.
a spark can set a whole forest on
fire.
just a spark.
save it.
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
Even if you called 6 months later, at 3am i’d still answer.
(via tullipsink)
Even when I detach, I care. You can be separate from a thing and still care about it.
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 choose you. & I’ll choose you, over & over & over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I’ll keep choosing you.
(via cattedrali)
…Because, no matter what I choose… I have no choice in loving you.
Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.
We need to move away from this constant need of coming across as calm, cool and collected. We weren’t built to be calm, cool, and collected. If we were, it wouldn’t feel so exhausting all the time. It would, you know, come naturally to us. You know what comes naturally to human beings though? Being open, being messy, being raw, being unfiltered, having lots of feelings. Why should we have to stifle our true nature? Let’s go after the things we want, let’s love each other brutally and honestly, and not worry about the consequences. Let’s release the feelings inside of us and let them land somewhere special. Otherwise, we might have a lifetime of longing in front of us.
Ryan O’Connell (via wordsnquotes)
Do not forget that even demons have nightmares. Everyone dreams, and everyone hurts. It is no excuse for cruelty. Always be kind.

Don’t sacrifice your self-worth just for the sake of not being lonely anymore.
It’s a big world, my dear. There’s a heart out there that beats the same way yours does. So if that boy you like doesn’t see you true worth – well, dear, make sure you see it. See your true worth and be happy with the company of yourself because it’s better to be loved by only yourself than be liked by someone who doesn’t see you at all.

I figured out why the idea of us never worked; because you and I were never meant to be just an idea. We are meant to be real.

You’re trying to leave yourself behind, but you can’t. The more you try to run away from yourself, the more you’ll have yourself with you.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Adjuster” (via wordsnquotes)
Human relationships were strange. I mean, you were with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stopped.
Charles Bukowski, Women

Exactly.
It *is* weird… and I can’t get over that weirdness.
I’m going to tell you something: thoughts are never honest. Emotions are. Do not go around asking for honesty in what people think; much of what they perceive as thinking is empty anyway because it’s thought out again and again and comes out refined and muddy. The ones who know how to feel might have to say to you a couple of interesting things or not and when they do that, you ought to know how to listen. So learn how to listen. You can’t make someone open up about their feelings in case they don’t want to. But you can remain open yourself through listening deeply and completely; they might want to talk about the weather and keep it simple – allow them to feel the simplicity. They might wish to throw a tragic metaphor to you and whisper ‘f—ing hell,’ then shut off again. Still, the feeling is there because the moment is. Emotion pours out directly or indirectly each time people engage themselves in the process of genuine interaction. Keep it genuine. Keep it simple.
Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959 (via wordsnquotes)
That’s why I like you so much. Your heart isn’t dead.
Albert Camus, The Just Assassins (via wordsnquotes)
Sometimes I think the loneliness inside of me is going to explode through my skin and sometimes I’m not sure if crying or screaming or laughing through the hysteria will solve anything at all. Sometimes I’m so desperate to touch, to be touched, to feel, that I’m almost certain I’m going to fall off a cliff in an alternate universe where no one will ever be able to find me.
