“To me, Fearless is not the absense 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.” - Taylor Swift

Fearlessly Dreaming
“We gotta start teaching our daughters to be somebodies instead of somebody’s.”
(via misshayleycakes)
“There were no sex classes. No friendship classes. No classes on how to navigate a bureaucracy, build an organization, raise money, create a database, buy a house, love a child, spot a scam, talk someone out of suicide, or figure out what was important to me. Not knowing how to do these things is what messes people up in life, not whether they know algebra or can analyze literature.”

“Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is.”

“Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.”
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

Strength ebbs and flows
but when gazing at oceans for guidance
put your hand to your heart.
2/3rds water, it beats waves upon
your shores of flesh and thought,
and like the ocean holds calm,
tsunami’s and hurricanes within you,
so you can weather any storm.
