“Ten years ago Video Calling was science fiction. Now when I want to talk to my friend who lives 2,000 miles away all I do is pull a phone out of my pocket and video call him. Amazing.” —Alexander Aldred Card (On Technological Advancements)

A woman,

Torn between desire and practicality.

Wanting to provide solace for another’s chaos

Yet fearing the future

The chance of failure

And the probability of her own inadequacy.

Trilogy in one part.

amillionlittleconstellations:

And one day, the dandelion looked up at the oak tree. 
“Your deep roots can’t be reached by frost, true. But can they be reached by anything?” 
The oak tree looked down at the dandelion. 
“Your shallow roots are moved and changed by everything. Tell me, which one of us is worse off?” 
For a long time the dandelion said nothing more. Then one day, a strong wind came and blew the dandelion’s seeds far away, to new exciting places. The dandelion died, and once more the oak tree was alone.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your life. You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.” —Neil Gaiman (via jeansticks)

“Sometimes, it’s like walking on a tightrope with my arms outstretched on either side, struggling to keep balance and avoid bruised knees. At other times, it’s like flying with eyes closed, not knowing where I’ll wind up next, but knowing it’ll be a soft landing, a pleasant surprise.” —(via livelykaleidoscope)

amillionlittleconstellations:

Many days she had spent in fear, not for her safety, but of possibility. Soft words were often whispered in her ear, singing songs of her bravery and courage, but she never felt brave, she was so afraid of so much. For years she had cried quietly to herself at night when there were no souls around…
