I finally see a future that I want to live for thanks to you.

“You need to learn to select your thoughts the same way you select your clothes each day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life… work on the mind.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert
by Christian Benetel
““So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.””
— Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild (via amargedom)
“I try again and again to beautify things that harm me, romanticizing hate and colouring the darkness that surrounds me. In my attempts to reconcile my soul to ideas that tear me apart, I’m left in shreds.”
