Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away.
— Paulo Coelho (via kari-shma)

The real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.

the nicest thing about someone who adores you is not having to tell them how to…because the thought of ever treating you anything less than the very best never crossed their mind. not once. not ever.
