The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. Good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.
Jamie Lyn. California dweller, globetrotter at heart. I like dinosaurs, photographs, tea, Doctor Who, exploring, lakes, ice cream, and being in love.
You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.
Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things (via simply-quotes)
