Life is not what you think and love is not what you believe but if you have the courage to seize it with your eyes wide open then you deserve every happiness in the world.
My name is Claire Anderson. I am 18. Very few of this is mine, but the parts that are will be tagged. Make the world a little bit smaller and a little bit friendlier and say helllo. Or bonjour. Whatever floats your boat. And kudos to you if you actually read this entire thing! Stay awesome my friends.

 

Our eyes met across the room. It was surreal, like something out of a play – life imitating art.

You know that moment when you’re reading a book and you just have to stop and bite your lip and squeal or sigh or close your eyes and wrinkle your nose and forehead and press the book against your heart and just like sit there and try to soak up the gorgeous literature via osmosis?

That’s my favorite part of reading.

Daily routine on tumblr

funniest10k:

Log on and see you have no 

And you go

See you lost a follower

Go through your dash

See a funny post

Reblog a million things

Gain a follower

Hear an awesome song

See someone reblog someone’s post as their own 

Get a message

Get an anon trolling on your tumblr

Parents tell you to get off

But you stay on anyways

Later you look at the time

 Realize you only have a few hours to sleep

Run to bed

Leave for school the next morning

Food, fire, walks, dreams, cold, sleep, love, slowness, time, quiet, books, seasons – all these things, which are not really things, but moments of life – take on a different quality at night-time, where the moon reflects the light of the sun, and we have time to reflect what life is to us, knowing that it passes, and that every bit of it, in its change and its difference, is the here and now of what we have.

Life is too short to be all daylight. Night is not less; it’s more.

Be the flower who even gives its fragrance to the hand that crushes it.
