Because being young and in the workforce sucks sometimes and we have to figure out how to deal with it.
“And when we date a man who treats us like crap, who plays that sexy emotional evasion game, that doesn’t respect our feelings or treat us like we’re special, we’re telling him that it’s all we deserve. We’re telling ourselves that’s all we deserve. And, perhaps most dangerously of all, we’re telling men in general that that is what we want– that it is what we find attractive. Perhaps in a childish, roller-coaster-thrill kind of way we like people who don’t treat us very well, but when we think about who is really worth our time and our love, it is not that kind of person. At least, it shouldn’t be. So dating anyone but the Southern Gentleman — telling both him and the world at large that you are willing to settle for less than decency — is directly lowering the stock of the Good Guys.”

“Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you’d follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix.”
—Karen Marie Moning (via myprivateopera)
“‘The strongest love is the love that can demonstrate its fragility. …If my love is real…freedom will conquer jealousy and any pain it causes me, since pain is part of the natural process.’ The danger lies in focusing on that pain, giving it a particular person’s name, and keeping it always present in your thoughts.”
—Eleven Minutes, Paulo Coelho (via helloworldxoxo)
“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 damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.”
—Christopher McCandless (via livefortravel)
“At the root of every large struggle in life is the need to be honest about something that we do not feel we can be honest about. We lie to ourselves or other people because the truth might require action on our part, and action requires courage. We say we “don’t know” what is wrong, when we do know what is wrong; we just wish we didn’t.”
—The Secret Life of Prince Charming, Deb Caletti (via creatingaquietmind)
“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.”

“The ability to adapt to new realities is what distinguishes those who grow through adversity from those who are destroyed by it.”
—Andrew G. Williams (via quote-book)
“Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.”
—Chuang Tzu (via heartmindspirit)
“Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.”
—Rabindranath Tagore (via girlwithoutwings)
“If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life.”
—Pablo Neruda (via apodyopisism)
“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you- it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you… Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
—Anthony Bourdain (via rebeccasusanne)
“Life can be tough sometimes. But I think it just starts with admitting, ‘Okay, the world’s not perfect, how do we live our lives within that and not be miserable?’”
