   So what? You failed your finals. You gained
   some weight. So what? You're single again.
   You lost your job. So what? What now?
   You live. You try again. That's what.

   you tried to change, didn't you?
   closed your mouth more, tried to
   be softer, prettier, less violatile,
   less awake.
   you can't make homes out of human
   beings, someone should have told
   you that. if he wants to leave,
   then let him leave.
   you are terrifying, and strange,
   and beautiful.
   something not everyone knows
   how to love.

   the world is heavy.
   but your bones
   (just a cubic inch)
   can hold 19,000 lbs.
   ounce for ounce
   they are stronger
   than steal
   atom for atom
   you are more precious
   than a diamond
   and stars have died
   so that you may live
   you need to remember
   these things when you
   say that you are weak
   and worthless

   Great writers are indecent people
   they live unfairly
   saving the best part for paper.
   good human beings save the world
   so that bastards like me can keep creating art,
   become immortal.
   if you read this after I am dead
   it means I made it.
   -Charles Bukowski

   I DON'T USUALLY DO THIS KIND OF THING..
   but Y0UNGL0V3MURD3R
   (a beautiful, extremely kindhearted wittian like yourselves)
   deserves some serious recognition.
   If you don't already follow her,
   type that username into the search bar and click the button.
   Do it. I DARE you.
   Not only has she obviously been through a lot,
   and posts some very relavent quotes,
   but she'll repeatedly make your day :)

   "I don't want to talk about how I feel, all right?"
   "Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human -"
   "THEN - I - DON'T - WANT - TO - BE - HUMAN!"
   Harry roared, and he seized one of the delicate silver instruments from the spindle legged table beside him and flung it across the room.
   It shattered into a hundred tiny pieces against the wall. Several of the pictures let out yells of anger and fright, and the portrait of Armando Dippet said "Really!"
   "I DON'T CARE!" Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace.
   "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END,
   I DON'T CARE ANYMORE - "
   He seized the table on which the silver instrument had stood and threw that too.
   It broke apart on the floor and the legs rolled in different directions.
   "You do care," said Dumbledore.
   He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office.
   His expression was calm, almost detatched.
   "You care so much you feel as though
   you will bleed to death with the pain of it."

   I love being horribly straightforward.
   I love sending reckless text messages and telling people I love them and telling them they are magical human beings and I cannot believe they really exist.
   I love saying "Kiss me harder," and "You're a good person" and, "You brighten my day."
   I love being as straightforward as possible.
   Because one day I might get hit by a bus.
   Maybe it's weird.
   Maybe it's scary.
   Maybe it seems downright impossible to just be -
   to let people know you want them, need them, feel like,
   in this very moment, you will die if you do not see them, hold them,
   touch them in some way whether it's your feet on their
   thighs on the couch or your tongue in their mouth or
   your heart in their hands.
   but there is nothing more beautiful than being desperate,
   and there is nothing more risky than pretending to care.
   We are young and we are human and we are beautiful
   and we are not as in control as we think we are.
   We never know who needs us back.
   We never the magic that can arise between ourselves and other humans.
   We never know when the bus is coming.

   We are poets
   heroes
   of the abandoned words
   knights
   in shining armor
   riding a dying horse
   flies
   in a room full of spiders
   caterpillars
   that work an entire life
   to be butterflies for a day
   dreamers
   in a place where dreaming
   is considered fog
   in front of a speeding car.
   we are writers
   bleeding words
   on pages that are always empty
   writing
   until our blood becomes ink
   and our fingers become pen
   writing
   until the simple act
   of moving a pen
   becomes breathing.

   Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning
   and you think, "I'm not going to make it."
   But you laugh inside-
   remembering all the times you've felt that way.

    Frodo: Sam, I can't do this.
    Sam: I know. It's all wrong.
    By rights we shouldn't even be here.
    But we are.
    It's like the great stories, Mr.Frodo, the
    ones that really mattered.
    Full of darkness and anger, they were.
    And sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
    Because how could the end be happy?
    How could the world go back to the way
    it was when so much bad had happened?
    But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
    Even darkness must pass.
    A new day will come.
    And when the sun shines it will shine out clearer.
    Those were the stories that stayed with you,
    that meant something, even if you were too small
    to understand why.
    But I think, Mr.Frodo, I do understand.
    I know now.
    Folk in those stories had lots of chances to turn back,
    only they didn't.
    They kept going because they were holding on to something.
    Frodo: what are we holding on to Sam?
    Sam: that there's some good in this world,
    Mr.Frodo...
    and it's worth fighting for.

    “I felt like crying but nothing came out.
    it was just a sort of sad sickness, sick sad, when you can't feel any worse.
    I think you know it.
    I think everybody knows it now and then.
    but I think I have known it pretty often, too often.”
    Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness

    To Love Life.
    To Love it even when you have no stomach for it,
    and everything you've held dear crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
    your throat filled with the silt of it.
    When grief sits with you,
    it's tropical heat thickening the air,
    heavy as water,
    more fit for gills than lungs;
    when grief weights you like your own flesh,
    only more of it, an obesity of grief,
    you think: how can a body withstand this?
    Then you hold life like a face between your palms,
    a plain face.
    No charming smile, no violet eyes.
    And you say yes, I will take you.
    I will love you again.

    Man sacrifices himself in order to make money.
    Then, he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
    And then he is so anxious about his future
    that he does not enjoy the present;
    the result being that he does not live in the present or future;
    he lives as if he is never going to die.
    And then he dies never having really lived.

    I read somewhere once, that crying defies scientific explanation.
    Tears are only meant to lubricate the eyes. There is no real reason for tear glands to overproduce at the behest of emotion.
    I think we cry to release the animal parts of us without losing our humanity. Because inside me is a beast that snarls, and growls, and strains towards freedom.
    And as hard as I try, I cannot kill it.

    I wasn't born in the right time.
    I see myself wearing corsets and leather,
    drinking tea, and riding in carriages.
    But I also want to don armor, and fight for my king.
    I was meant to speak old english and play in gardens.
    But no.

    Read this to yourself. Read it silently.
    Don't move your lips. Don't make a sound?
    Listen to yourself. Listen without hearing anything.
    What a wonderfully weird thing, huh?
    NOW MAKE THIS PART LOUD!
    SCREAM IT IN YOUR MIND!
    DROWN EVERYTHING OUT.
    Now, hear a whisper. A tiny whisper.
    Now, read this next line in your best crotchety old man voice:
    "Hello there sonny, does this town have a post office?"
    Awesome! Who was that? Whose voice was that?
    Certainly not yours.
    How do you do that? How!?
    Must be magic.

    What is terrible is not death but the lives people choose to live or not live
    up until their death.
    They don't honor their own lives.
    They concentrate too much on money, movies, work, family.
    Their minds are full of cotton.
    They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking.
    Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.
    Their brains are stuffed with cotton.
    They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly.
    Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it.
    Most people's deaths are a sham.
    There's nothing left to die.
