“It’s like when you are excited about a girl and you see a couple holding hands, and you feel so happy for them. And other times you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you want is to feel happy for them because you know that if you do, then it means that you’re happy, too.”
—Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (via infinitives)
“No other road, no other way, no day but today.”

“If you cut yourself, if you hate yourself, if you eat, if you don’t eat, if your parents split up, if your parents hit you, if your mom tells you you’re a piece of trash, if you got in a car crash and half your face is gone — Wake up in the morning and give yourself a shot. Do it. Not for music, not for any reason other than the fact that you are alive and you were given the grace to wake up another day. So do it, man. Just freaking get out there and try.”
—Aaron Gillespie
“It’s been said that “All the world’s a stage.” We all have an audience. We all have some kind of influence. We all have a story and a voice. Our lives are our songs. Our hearts are our songs. It’s okay to ask real questions. It’s okay to say real things. Let’s make things that matter and move, and let’s chase after those things as well.”
—Jamie Tworkowski
“I have a theory. That people who act happy around other people, full of energy, and smile the widest, have the darkest secrets.”
