Quote of the Day

"Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better."
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Quote of the Day

"It may take time for you to find your people, so in the meantime I suggest you put a piecemeal friend life together. Remember that you do have old friends who understand you, they are just far away. Please reach out to them! Reach out and let them know how much you love them, how much they mean to you...These people know you, they love you, and you already speak the same language. It may not be as good as having dinner together, but it's still something."
- Nicole Georges (via)

Quote of the Day

"I opened a book and in I strode.
Now nobody can find me.
I've left my chair, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.
I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,
I've swallowed the magic potion.
I've fought with a dragon, dined with a king
And dived in a bottomless ocean.
I opened a book and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter
And followed their road with its bumps and bends
To the happily ever after.
I finished my book and out I came.
The cloak can no longer hide me.
My chair and my house are just the same,
But I have a book inside me."
- Julia Donaldson
