Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.

Inspiring, Inspirational, Up-lifting, Motivational pictures, quotes and sayings.
 
 
Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.

(Just because something has caused you pain and damage in your life, doesn't mean you have to let it control the rest of your life.)



Some of life's best lessons are learned at the worst times.
 
(I am going through some really difficult struggles, physically/medically and I am struggling with it a lot. I keep trying to tell myself that there are lessons to be learned from it.)
 
 
Instead of judging someone by their past. Stand by them and help them repair their future.
 
(Maybe instead of always judging someone by their past, we should try to help them build/repair a better future.)
 
 
In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, relationships we were too afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.
 
 
The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping stones. Laugh at them, tread on them and let them lead you to something better.
 
 
 A moment of patience in a moment of anger
  saves thousand moments of regret.
 
 
Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
 
 
 
Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change.
 
 
And so we climb...
Higher than the forest domain.
 Higher than the sun's retreat.
Higher than the limits of our fear.
 Higher than our vast insecurities.
Beyond whispers of the unknown.
Beyond the need of tangible hope.
Beyond the brokenness of memories.
 Beyond the confines of comprehension.
And so we climb.
 
 
The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
 
(There definitely have been times in my life, when I just wanted to die and wished I were dead. But something always made me hold on and keep on going, no matter how difficult my life seemed to be/get.)
 
 
 
 
Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth. 
 
(Just because someone else doesn't see your worth, doesn't mean you are worthless.)
 
 
 
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
 
 
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. 
 
 
It's okay to not be perfect.
It's okay to make mistakes.
It's okay to do something that
you wish you hadn't done,
because if we don't do those
things we never grow.

(I have definitely said and done some things I wish I hadn't, but I have learned some lessons from some of them, some the hard way.)

Let me love you flaws and all

Soul mates... I don't know how it is you are so familiar to me - or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. How every smile, ever whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before - in another time, a different place - some other existence - Lang Leav
 
 
You are a piece of the puzzle to someone else's life.
You may never know where you fit
but others will fill the holes in their lives
with pieces of you.
 
It is so easy
for me to love you
that it frightens me.
I've never been good at anything.
But I've never wanted anything
so much as
I want to hold you
every waking minute.
And every night while I sleep.
The question has ceased to be
"How do I love you?"
and has become
"How would I ever stop?"
 
 
I dreamt of you,
and that we kissed.
Although,
I know it wasn't real,
I still wake up breathless.
 

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.


There's a difference between who we love, who we settle for with, and who we're meant for.
 

And no matter the room
or the furniture between us,
I will brush your hair
back behind your ears
with my eyes
and I will kiss
the sides of your neck
with a glance.
I will unwind the fabric
and uncover the skin
and decorate it all with goosebumps.
Then I will blink,
and find your eyes,
and realize I never
even left my chair
for a single
moment.

I find your lips
so kissable
 
and your kiss
so unmissable
 
Your fingertips so
touchable
 
And your eyes
irresistible
 
 

The only guy you need in your life is the one that proves he needs you in his.
 
Let me steal
from your lungs
a breath.
Let me run
my fingers
across your chest.
Let me study
your figure
while you stand tall.
Let me love you,
flaws and all.

I'll always
belong
to myself
 
even as many times
as I'll try to give myself
away
 
and as many times
 as someone else
will try to take it
 
I'll always belong
to myself
and you'll always
belong
to yourself
 
unions
are not formed
by giving yourself away
but by coming
together
 
to minds
two hearts
two flames
two contributors
two architects
building
their mad
or sadly sane
worlds
together
 
I don't want to be
you
and I don't want you
to be
me
 
the beauty
the love
 
comes from our
acceptance
of each others'
souls

Before I fall asleep
I always picture
what it would feel like
to fall asleep in your arms.
It's probably the best feeling in the world.

If you want me, let me know.
