“Being tender and 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 and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.”
—Zooey Deschanel (via worldofpossibility)
“Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.”
—Frances Hodgson Burnett (via anditslove)
“If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.”

“When the remembering was done, the forgetting could begin.”
