I'm just trying to figure everything out right now.

 

The world is full of people who are very clever at seeming much smarter than they really are. They dazzle us with facts and quotations and foreign words and so on, whereas the truth is that they know almost nothing of use in life as it is really lived.

Kurt Vonnegut, Slapstick (via kathgillen)

I’m sorry if I seem distant. I’m sorry if I haven’t been there for you in the way that you need. I’m sorry if you feel like I don’t care anymore. I’m not trying to, it’s just hard for me. I love feeling like people can come to me with anything and I hope you know I’m always here, I just wish I felt it in return. I wish I could talk to someone and have them actually care about what I’m saying. I don’t expect anyone to understand what I’m going through but I’d just to feel like someone genuinely wants to understand what’s going on instead of just telling me I need to have more fun. I’m not trying to belittle your problems, everything is relative, but I’m so tired of hearing about things that wont even matter in a week. I used to tell you everything and now I have secrets that I keep from everyone. I’m not blaming this on you, I just thought you should know how I feel.

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thought rules the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (via justdontquotemeonthat)
