"Responsibility to yourself means that you don’t fall for shallow and easy solutions—predigested books and ideas, marrying early as an escape from real decisions, getting pregnant as an evasion of already existing problems. It means that you refuse to sell your talents and aspirations short…and this, in turn, means resisting the forces in society which say that women should be nice, play safe, have low professional expectations, drown in love and forget about work, live through others, and stay in the places assigned to us. It means that we insist on a life of meaningful work, insist that work be as meaningful as love and friendship in our lives. It means, therefore, the courage to be “different”. "

"Here we are again
Circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit?
There’s enough for everyone
But I’m still waiting in line
Who doesn’t long for someone to hold?
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I’m on my own
If there’s a soulmate for everyone
"

"You tried to reach deep but you never got in
And now you’re outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
Nothing but time and a face that you’ll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn’t choose
"
(via sheriden-hazell)
