“

Mi percepción a medida que envejezco es que no hay años malos. Hay años de fuertes aprendizajes y otros que son como un recreo, pero malos no son. Creo firmemente que la forma en que se debería evaluar un año tendría más que ver con cuánto fuimos capaces de amar, de perdonar, de reír, de aprender cosas nuevas, de haber desafiado nuestros egos y nuestros apegos. Por eso, no deberíamos tenerle miedo al sufrimiento ni al tan temido fracaso, porque ambos son sólo instancias de aprendizaje. Nos cuesta mucho entender que la vida y el cómo vivirla depende de nosotros. Si no me gusta la vida que tengo, deberé desarrollar las estrategias para cambiarla, pero está en mi voluntad el poder hacerlo.

“Ser feliz es una decisión”, no nos olvidemos de eso.

Entonces, con estos criterios me preguntaba qué tenía que hacer yo para poder construir un buen año porque todos estamos en el camino de aprender todos los días a ser mejores y de entender que a esta vida vinimos a tres cosas:

a aprender a amar
a dejar huella
a ser felices

Dicen que las alegrías, cuando se comparten, se agrandan. Y que en cambio, con las penas pasa al revés. Se achican. Tal vez lo que sucede, es que al compartir, lo que se dilata es el corazón. Y un corazón dilatado está mejor capacitado para gozar de las alegrías y mejor defendido para que las penas no nos lastimen por dentro

I look my best after an entire hair and makeup team has spent hours perfecting me. When do I feel my best? When I haven`t looked in a mirror for days, and I`m doing things that make me happy.”

a homeless guy just said to me “do you tell jokes to make people laugh or to make people think you’re funny” and that is the most profound shit ive ever experienced




“I was here 15 years ago or something, and I had no idea what I was doing. I was sitting out here in front of you all, really just a kid, and I went out and I never thought that I would be back here, and I am because of so many of you who are here tonight, because of this academy, because of so many wonderful people who extended themselves to me when they had nothing to benefit from it…I want to thank them and I want to thank what they taught me which is that you have to work harder than you think you possibly can, you can’t hold grudges, it’s hard but you can’t hold grudges. And it doesn’t matter how you get knocked down in life, cause that’s gonna happen, all that matters is that you gotta get up.”

“I think women feel so much pressure these days and it can turn us against each other. But we really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to.”

I fall in love once in a blue moon and it’s really incredibly rare. That’s not to say I don’t see lots of cute boys who I fancy. But the boy you want to make out with is not necessarily someone you want to be with. If it’s meant to be, it will be. I wouldn’t be capable of having a casual fling. I’m far too sensitive and I just wouldn’t have any pleasure from it.

I read this in my 11th grade english class and i still think about it sometimes. 

This is my favorite fucking short story ever. It changed the way I look at human weakness.

This is one of my favourite things ever.

It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.
