"Don’t waste your energy trying to educate or change opinions; go over, under, through, and opinions will change organically when you’re the boss. Or they won’t. Who cares? Do your thing, and don’t care if they like it."
Tina Fey (via atomos)
"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion."

"So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds of thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go!"
Mr. Black, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer (via atomos)
"Where is this love? I can’t see it, I can’t touch it. I can’t feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can’t do anything with your easy words."
Closer
"The truth is, I’ve never learned to ride a bicycle, because among other reasons, it is something you can never forget. This is who I am: someone who simultaneously longs for and fears the commitment of remembering. There is the forgetting, the disintegration of memory, morsel by morsel; and there is the impossibility of forgetting, the scar tissue, with its insulated layers of padding. Both haunt me in their own way."
The Opposite of Love, Julie Buxbaum
"When people say time heals, they are wrong. Time simply extinguishes hope. New mothers are told to let infants cry at night to learn to sleep alone— Just a week and you’re free! Yes, it takes on week of abject misery to break the spirit, to inure it to abandonment and betrayal. Maybe it took longer with me, but by then I was grown. If I’ve devoted myself to Mark’s happiness it’s because I can’t see well or perceive well. If he laughs or is happy, then I know things are okay. If he feels cold, I take a sweater. In the absence of true love and true joy, maybe it’s best to treat happiness like any other need- hunger, exhaustion, thirst- factually recognized, functionally resolved."
Hilary Thayer Hamann (via atomos)
"Look at the sky: that is for you. Look at each person’s face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. And the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. There are as much for you as they are for other people. Remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing."
Miranda July (via fleurishes)
"
That’s unforgivable. It absolutely is.”
His eyebrows rose to his forehead. “I didn’t know that not loving somebody was a sin.”
“It isn’t,” she said, feeling a flash of hurt, deep inside her, “but it should be.

People, I encourage you to read attica’s fanfics. Everything she writes is just brilliant and so real and relatable.
You should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong, instead.
