Your Daily Dose Of Glitter And Pixie Dust!
"Yes, I am an old-school romantic, and I'm proud of it. I still believe in "Dear Diary" moments and letters. I still value simple handmade presents more than expensive ones, because I know the amount of affection that goes into making something for the people you love."
"Don't be worried about what people would say. That's what they do. Don't let them get to you. If they annoy you too much though, stick out your tongue and blow a raspberry at them!"
"Remember that you're a unique masterpiece in yourself, and you do not have to pretend to be somebody else. Love yourself, be confident of the amazing person I'm sure you're going to turn out to be. I won't force you into anything that you don't want to follow; you're free to follow your own dreams and live your life according to your own set of rules."
"We live in a world where things are loved and people are used; we've forgotten that it should actually be the other way round. People are used as the means to others' ends. There are times when we ignore the ones we love and don't even feel guilty about it. It's only when you lose them or they start distancing themselves that you realize how much they meant to you."
"You're tough to the world outside, you don't let anybody in, you have an aura of strength about you. But you also wish to lie down on the couch, watch rom-coms and eat ice-cream, with a box of tissues on your side; and no one knows about this part of you because you're usually the most independent person they've ever come across."
"If we come to think of it, we all complain and crib way too much. We make a big fuss about little things that probably wouldn't even matter in a few days."
"People kept telling me that I wouldn't earn as much; I would have to struggle a lot. Sure, but what path doesn't take struggle, to be honest? Shortcuts don't take struggle. But I was going to do this the right way- from the scratch. I made up my mind that I would follow my dreams, and face whatever challenges came along the way! After all, it was time to do something I was actually good at- writing."
"Is turning away from any kind of feelings at all, worth it? Are we not settling for non- emotional, meaningless flings when we can actually have something that gives us a warm, fuzzy feeling of security?"
"Escape routes are all about finding inner peace. They are like roads that people very rarely choose to tread on. The more you choose an escape route, the more you will start appreciating the smaller things in life."
"It is very evident that once we stop believing in something, we start losing the spark in our eyes. The depths of our imagination eventually become shallow. We start thinking rationally and eliminate the possibility of any miracle at all."
