‘whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life’
“You never knew exactly how much space you occupied in people’s lives.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (via 13neighbors)
“Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
—Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959 (via violentwavesofemotion)

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”
—Gloria Naylor (via quotecatalog)
