Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

The Fray

University Life

If I am entirely honest, I am not loving it so far. The course, is okay, not as brilliant as I pictured it to be. Maybe I am someone with an overactive sense of imagination. I don’t know. I hate the social side. I have never been a club scene/drinking/drunk person. University is just showing me and everyone else that. I miss my family and my home, and probably everything I thought I never would. I know everyone says its a big change, and it can take a long time to get used to, but I have been here nearly eight weeks now and my gut instinct is to run before I put down anymore roots. 

Anyone else ever been through this?

To me, “FEARLESS” is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say “you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’sFEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS

Taylor Swift

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

William Shakespeare, Hamlet (via tattoolit)

We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

J.K ROWLING - HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX 

You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
