“What you are is a complicated girl with simple needs. You need your books and time to read, and you need a few friends and you need someone-not to take care of you, but to care for you. If you have all those things, you’ll always be alright.”— Brian Morton, Breakable You (via sundaylatte)

True facts, but I literally pass for 10 years younger, so I’m seriously considering telling people that I am… because the conversation: “NO! You can’t be *insert age here*” Gets annoying, even if it’s nice to hear, but it’s also because I project a younger self than my peers.

“Grief can derange even the strongest and most disciplined of minds.”“Let them see that their words can cut you, and you’ll never be free of the mockery. If they want to give you a name, take it, make it your own. Then they can’t hurt you with it anymore.”“Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness.”“My mind is my weapon.”“Love is the bane of honor, the death of duty.”“The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that.”“Laughter is poison to fear.”“We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.”“You may be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts. You need her, as she needs you…”“We only make peace with our enemies. That’s why it’s called making peace.”“The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true”“Searching is not finding.”“Can a man still be brave even when he’s afraid?” “That is the only time a man can be brave”“If I look back, I am lost.”“Folly and desperation are ofttimes hard to tell apart.”“I am surrounded by flatterers and fools. It can drive a man to madness… Half of them don’t dare tell me the truth, and the other half can’t find it.”More.

I love my parents and my Dad has learned from his mistakes, but my childhood was not happy land, with a mother who has her own issues and does not understand them or seek to get help that she needs.
