Can everyone put your hands in front of you? Now open and close your fists. See, you can do it easily. Now put your hand over your heart. Try to think about stopping it… It’s not so simple. Your mind can’t control it. Your heart won’t just stop. In happy times, in sad times, in hard times, it will always keep beating. So I hope everyone will do their best not to give up during difficult times in their lives, as well.

The past isn’t something you compare to the present. But the future can’t beat the present either.

Painting is longing. Longing turns into paintings, and paintings become longing as well. If you’re longing for someone, then because they keep coming to mind, you end up painting them. Thus, longing becomes a painting. Also, even after you’ve forgotten, every time you look at the painting, you long for that person once more. Thus, wouldn’t that be the same as the painting becoming longing? So, isn’t painting the same as expressing longing?

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

Friedrich Nietzsche (via cultureofresistance) (via laixac) |
One of the traps of adolescence is the sort of paranoid resentment that somehow you’re never going to match up and that everybody else’s life is going to be better and finer and fuller. That everyone else attended some secret lesson in which how to live was taught and you had a dental appointment that day, or you were somehow not invited.

There’s nothing wrong with loving who you are.
A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.
