Halcyon Days~

smoozle:

My mom used to tell me:

No one cares about what you care about the way that you do. If you don’t follow up on the things you care about, they won’t get done. If you sit around and expect people to do these things for you because they like you so much, it won’t happen. No one likes you that much.

I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.

Sometimes it’s harder to attain inner silence than outer silence. The dog stopped barking and the kids have gone to bed, but your mind has a lot to talk about and it knows you can’t pretend you’re not at home.
