Quotebook

"We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art, because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren’t going crazy and someone else out there knows exactly how you’re feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can’t. We love everything tied up neatly, easy, simple, and when we can’t do that, it scares the hell out of us. To not know the next step, or where you’re headed, kills. Being unsure isn’t in our plans. But its those moments, the ones where you risk it and step unknowingly into the future that assures us life is larger than we’ll ever know."

Quotes are my new addiction. They're inspiring, and I have so much fun working on them. In those moments, I feel like I'm in a different world of ideals.When I sift through quotes for my quote-book, I feel like there are other people out there who understand the way I feel and what I'm going through, and that I'm not alone. Quotes make me feel understood. Quotes -or perhaps I should say words- make me feel like there is more hope out there. That it's ok to dream. That it's ok to be a bit impractical. There is a part inside of me that comes alive when I read quotes. I get this warm, glowy feeling that makes me happier. Now, if only I can somehow capture the beautiful pictures I see online in my little notebook...
