Happiness is pervasive.
It is everywhere… When we are unhappy it is because something is covering our minds and we are not able to be aware of happiness. When the difficulty is past we find happiness again.
It is not that happiness is all around us. That is not it at all. It is not this or that or in this or that.
It is an abstract thing.
Happiness is unattached. Always the same. It does not appear and disappear. It is not sometimes more and sometimes less. It is our awareness of happiness that goes up and down.
Happiness is our real condition.
It is reality.
It is life.
Agnes Martin
She's gonna learn that this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air. There is hurt, here, that cannot be fixed by band-aids or poetry, so the first time she realizes that Wonder-woman isn't coming, I'll make sure she knows she doesn't have to wear the cape all by herself. Because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal. Believe me, I've tried.

Perhaps all anxiety might derive from a fixation on moments — an inability to accept life as ongoing.

the people who help us grow toward true self offer unconditional love, neither judging us to be deficient nor trying to force us to change but accepting us exactly as we are. and yet this unconditional love does not lead us to rest on our laurels. instead, it surrounds us with a charged force field that makes us want to grow from the inside out — a force field that is safe enough to take the risks and endure the failures that growth requires.

i want love to be simple. i want to trust without thinking. i want to be generous with my affection and patience and love unconditionally. it is easier to love a person with their flaws than to weed through them. i want to love the whole person, not parts; and this is how i want to be loved.

when despair for the world grows in me
and i wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of that my life and my children's lives may be,
i go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
i come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. i come into the presence of still water.
and i feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. for a time
i rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

To fight unhappiness one must first expose it, which means that one must dispel the mystifications behind which it is hidden so that people do not have to think about it. It is because I reject lies and running away that I am accused of pessimism; but this rejection implies hope — the hope that truth may be of use. And this is a more optimistic attitude than the choice of indifference, ignorance or sham.

full of cruel things
hand tight
all you
nothing like a big bad bridge

Let me introduce you to the most evil word in the English language:
"Just."
Stick it near the beginning of some advice, and you can turn someone else's vicious lifelong struggle into a trivial task they should feel ashamed for not having mastered by now.

misophonia is a condition in which a person reacts extremely negatively to certain sounds that most people take little or no notice of.

As pessoas acreditam que dependem do que acontece para serem felizes, ou seja, que são dependentes da forma. Não se apercebem de aquilo que acontece é a coisa mais instável do Universo. Muda constantemente.

i wonder how Agab can feel this much
how Agab can feel that something this big
how it multiplies in my veins
and in my blood and
how it triggers itself in my thoughts

agora sim, diria que se parece com a Delevingne...
quanto a este já o meti e tirei da loja umas 3 vezes porque nunca estou satisfeita com o contraste, quando em comparação com os outros. já não sei se é este que está claro demais ou os outros que estão escuros de mais.

It's strange, the way a person's life can feel so far away,
