I'm already lost...

In this world, it is too common for people to search for someone to lose themselves in. But I am already lost. I will look for someone to find myself in.

C. JoyBell C.

The mirror...

Nobody really knows what they look like. The mirror shows you only what you want to see.     

Terry Wogan

Choices...

Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choices feels the least wrong.

Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

I tried...

I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.

Frida Kahlo

Koshish...

Apni aankhon ki kashish ko apne palkon ke aitraaz se chupane ki koshish na kare...

- Zafar, Kalank.

Heal...

What's broken, can be mended. What hurts, can be healed. And no matter how dark it gets, the sun is going to rise again!

Moments never stay...

    Moments never stay, whether or not you ask them, they do not care, no moment cares, and the ones you wish could stretch out like a hammock for you to lie in, well, those moments leave the quickest and take everything good with them, little burglars, those moments, those hours, those days you loved the most.

Catherine Lacey, Nobody Is Ever Missing

Perfectly yourself...

The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them

Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

To impress myself...

You think I own 78 lipsticks to impress a man who can't tell the difference between "Ruby Woo" and "Russian Red"??

I wear lipstick, only to impress myself and say, "damn bitch, you look fine today!"

Regret...

I don't have nothing to regret at all in the past, except that I might've unintentionally hurt somebody else or something.

Jimi Hendrix

Pink...

If hot red is for anger and rage, pink is the color of a soft burning – hot enough to light up the dark corners of sadness and grief, but cool enough to be tender, innocent, open.

Ibi Zoboi, American Street

Something to hide...

She holds herself with such reserve. She smiles, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes, even in the company of the girls she's chosen to eat with. Why?
I have no clue, and I really don't want to spend my time worrying about it. But my brain pushes at the question anyway.
Why are people aloof?
Because they don't want to let others in.
Why don't they want to let others in?
Well, sometimes because they're shy, and sometimes because they're convinced of their own superiority.
But those aren't the only reasons. Sometimes it's because thay have something to hide.

Lauren Myracle, Bliss (Crestview Academy, #1)

Wash away...

Be surprised at nothing. Let peace and stillness flood through you and envelop you completely in its cloak. Put on the whole armor of love - and yet feel, feel very deeply. Let tears flow, washing away impurities until you feel clean within and clean without. Become like an empty vessel ready to be filled with life's nectar. - Eileen Caddy

Seeing with closed eyes...

 My heart is burning with love. All I can see is this flame. My heart is burning with passion, like waves on an ocean. I'm at home, wherever I am. And in the room of lovers, I can see with closed eyes the beauty that dances. Behind the veils, intoxicated with love, I too dance the rhythm of this moving world. - Rumi

Graceful...yet powerful!

The saree has draped many women- goddess Durga who defeated the demons, Rani LakshmiBai who led an army in a war. A saree makes me feel so graceful yet so powerful.

Bruises...

 

Not all forms of abuse leave bruises.

Danielle Steel

A boat without a crew...

Life without a defined purpose is similar to a boat without a crew in the middle of the ocean.

Debasish Mridha

Angel and Devil...

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

Marilyn Monroe

Quest for answers...

Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Déjà Vu...

What is it about the moment you fall in love? How can such a small measure of time contain such enormity? I suddenly realize why people believe in déjà vu, why people believe they've lived past lives, because there is no way the years I've spent on this earth could possibly encapsulate what I'm feeling. The moment you fall in love feels like it has centuries behind it, generations—all of them rearranging themselves so that this precise, remarkable intersection could happen. In you heart, in your bones, no matter how silly you know it is, you feel that everything has been leading to this, all the secret arrows were pointing here, the universe and time itself crafted this long ago, and you are just now realizing it, you are now just arriving at the place you were always meant to be.

David Levithan 

The right way...

The right way to "Save Water", in the only way left!

Find someone...

Find someone who openly communicates their feelings. Someone who realizes that youre not perfect and never expects you to be.      

Brigitte Nicole

You and I...

You and I, we are embers from the same fire, we are dust from the same star, we are echos of the same love.

Hold on...

Hold on to and cherish even the smallest of moments... you may not know it yet, but years from now when you look back... they could become one of your biggest memories!

Nyki Mack

I will let you...

I will only let you touch me, if your hands are so full of intention, that every brush of your palms feels like you’re writing a novel on my skin.

                                         — Azra T., Braille

Connection...

Physical attractions are common, but a mental, intellectual, and spiritual connection is rare.

What you seek...

What you seek, is seeking you.
Rumi

Searching...

Maybe you are searching among the branches for what appears only in the roots.
Rumi

Heaven and hell...

No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell...
- CG Jung

We are...

We are not what we show to the world.
We are what we are afraid to show even to ourselves.
-Shilpa Goel

Hug...

Sometimes we hug our children as we are the ones who need the hug much more than them!

Horizon...

No matter how far a person can go, the horizon is still way beyond you.

-Zora Neale Hurston

Dear universe...

Dear Universe,
Please enlighten what is dark in me,
Strengthen,what is weak in me,

Mend,what is broken in me.

Bind, what is bruised in me. 

Heal, what is sick in me and lastly revive whatever peace and love, I have lost along the way.

- Unknown

The show must go on...

Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on
The show must go on
Yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Infinite horizon...

        A sad soul needs an infinite horizon which can throw all his sorrow into the silence of the eternal emptiness!

Mehmet Murat ildan

I'll feel you burn...

        Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.
Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.
And without feet I can make my way to you,
without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you
with my heart as with a hand.
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.
And if you consume my brain with fire,
I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Pyar Kiya to Darna kya...

प्यार किया तो डरना क्या
जब प्यार किया तो डरना क्या
प्यार किया कोई चोरी नहीं की
प्यार किया...
प्यार किया कोई चोरी नहीं किया
छुप छुप आहें भरना क्या

Why did you ever stop??

Before I met him, I would dance in the shower.
When he was in my life, I would think about showering with him.
After he left, I would sit on the ground in the shower and cry.
When I got over him, I showered so quickly there was no time for dancing, fantasies or tears.

Someone can invade the smallest parts of your life,
you won’t even realize it until you dance in the shower again
and wonder why you ever stopped. 

-Theglasschild

What if...??

What if you could amplify this singular moment, whip it into a frenetic fury, and then unleash it into your body and brain in a riot of gluttonous indulgence that could actually send you on amazing journeys outside the confines of your body?

Roberto Hogue

He fell...

She tripped on her saree... He fell...
~the 11:11 tales~

Glitter...

        Even though on the outside we glittered like gold, inside we were almost as black as coal. Sometimes the glitter people saw was only the shattered pieces reflecting among the broken glass.

Tracy Krimmer, All That Glitters

Smiles and tears...

If I can see pain in your eyes then share with me your tears. If I can see joy in your eyes then share with me your smile. 
--Santosh Kalwar

An artist's job...

The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.      

Woody Allen

Destroy you...

     

Every moment those cold fingers of you touches my skin in these rainy nights, they lit fire to my soul a bit at a time. These moments make me crave to be destroyed, even more. In the end, when my whole soul is engulfed in the fire that you have started, I want to pull you into my arms and destroy you too, in every breathtaking way that exists.

Akshay Vasu, The Abandoned Paradise: Unraveling the beauty of untouched thoughts and dreams

I am your mother...

“To my beautiful daughter, always remember: you are brave, you are capable, you are pretty, and you can accomplish ANYTHING your heart desires! I know this because I am your mother.”

Always... Never...

To some people, you will never be enough.
To others, you always were.
- cwpoet

Accept that...

Accept that people leave, hearts break, friendships end, love vanishes, memories fade away and life goes on with empty feelings, sad smiles and broken souls.

A kiss...

A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to know.
