““Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn’t make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.””
— Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song (via amortizing)
“things will remind you of him, like the restaurant you two used to go to or your song will play on the radio and all the memories you both shared will find themselves crawling back into your veins and into your ribcage and sometimes it will find its way into your mind and you will become blinded to everything else around you. but please remember that every ending is a brand new beginning it may take a month or it may take 5 years but one day that song wont make you clench your teeth while its playing and you will be able to eat at that restaurant and sit there without even remembering the touch of his body next to you and you wont be able to remember what it was like to be there with him. he will become a distant memory and as time passes the memories will fade and be replaced by the new guy who you share way more with than just a restaurant and a song but you share a life with him and he makes you a better you and he makes sure you never fall asleep crying and its not shut the fuck up but rather i love you so fucking much.”

literally no romantic gesture will ever be more touching and beautiful than that scene in the handmaiden when sookhee destroys hideko’s uncle’s library, ripping to shreds the things he had used to abuse her, drowning them in ink, taking those disgusting symbols of the male gaze and SHATTERING them.. that’s the epitome of true love
“She had found the coast, where she walked for several weeks. Through salt water air and wind-swept wilderness, she raised up upon ancient cliffs of white and grey, she slept in caves of forgotten wonder. Every day, she watched the horizon turn from pale topaz to starlit sapphire. And she thought of all the lives lost, the bodies beneath the waves, the turmoil beyond. This was a place of peace, a gentle part of her world, in which she could not allow herself to indulge much longer.”

you need to give yourself permission to be happy now. not when you lost weight, not when you found your soulmate, not when you have more money. we seek excitement from future events, but once those goals are met, the temporary pleasures will pass and they will be replaced by the next fantasy. devote your full attention to your inner self and appreciate being in the moment. happiness is never external, but a way of living and appreciating life. it’s not reality, just the way you perceive it. so go and shift your focus from the outcome to watching yourself grow.
The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest.
