“Life isn’t supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn’t supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it’s comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a terrible loss. It’s just another day.”

“When my arms wrap you round I press
My heart upon the loveliness
That has long faded from the world.” —W.B. Yeats, “He Remembers Forgotten Beauty” (via frannyandzooey) (via breathsoftruth) (via lovebot)

“ok,” she is saying
and then our breath is colliding,
all sweet tarts and
penny candies. wet and warm and close
and when we stop
there’s a silence,
thick and beautiful. and these are the things
we will have
when we have
nothing else.-http://www.tiredeyes.net
“It’s all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.”
