"To let oneself be carried on passively is unthinkable."
-Virginia Wolf
I'm a girl who for the first time in her entire life knows what she wants and tries to do nothing but follow her heart. I like driving with the windows down. I used to say that it's more important to be ok with your mistakes than to not make any mistakes at all and although I still think this is true it's something I've been struggling with. I wear my heart on my sleeve. And as badass and unaffected as I may try to come off sometimes, I am nothing but compassionate. I sometimes let pride get the best of me. I believe that we can never truly know ourselves until we've felt completely alone and even slightly hopeless and that this is what makes us stronger. I'm not very graceful but I try, god, do i try. I believe in living life to the fullest and never letting an opportunity pass you by but I've let a few go here and there. I believe in staying up late, waking up early, and staying true to yourself.
"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."

“What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’?”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
“I can’t feel you anymore, I can’t even touch the books you’ve read. Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin’ I was somebody else instead.”

“Every gathering has its moment. As an adult, I distract myself by trying to identify it, dreading the inevitable downswing that is sure to follow. The guests will repeat themselves one too many times, or you’ll run out of dope or liquor and realize that it was all you ever had in common.”
— David Sedaris
“I believe the most difficult situation you can be ever be faced with is deciding whether you should just move on or hold on a little tighter. Move on, and maybe you’ll lose a chance at the best thing that could have ever happened, or hold on, and have the possibility of one day being the biggest disaster ever created.”
“and I cursed myself for being surprised that this didn’t play like it did in my mind”
— Death Cab for Cutie
