Found these. Reminds me of the cartoon Angelina Ballerina and other assorted Mouse-featured cartoons that I loved to watch as a child. And I think I'd still love to watch them now. Hoho. Just click the picture for links. I don't know the real photographer though.




I'm Telling You It's Okay.

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to’.”
Lao Tzu


“Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.”
Cheers



“We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversation with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.”
Thomas Moore

“Laughter is the best form of medicine. For when we laugh, we neither think, grieve, or feel.”
Eugene Lam

I love to feel that everything is fine I’ve had a great day, I’m getting use to it!
“Life isn’t supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn’t supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it’s comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a terrible loss. It’s just another day.”
Barbara Sher

“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.”
Unknown

“Some of life’s best lessons are learned at the worst times.”
Ani Difranco


“There’s a price for every promise you don’t keep.”

“Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us-and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning.”
Louisa May Alcott



You can be as logical, rational and objective as you want, it's not going to change the way you feel.
Put it this way; you telling me that lunch is in an hour doesn't make me less hungry.

- from I Wrote This For You


“Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.”
Unknown


“The truth is, life is rarely exactly the way we want it to be, and other people often don’t act as we would like them to. Moment to moment, there are aspects of life that we like and others that we don’t. There are always going to be people who disagree with you, people who do things differently, and things that don’t work out. If you fight against the principle of life, you’ll spend most of your life fighting battles.”
Richard Carlson


“Concentrate on how good if feels to be alive. No matter what. Just to see the color of the sky, just to smell the air, and feel the wind in your face.”
Judy Blume



“You shouldn’t regret anything that you say, because it’s what you were feeling at the moment.”
LeeLee Sobieski

“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love. yourself to get anything done in this world.”

When my arms wrap you round I press
My heart upon the loveliness
That has long faded from the world.
- W.B. Yeats


“Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you’re really strangers.”
Mary Tyler Moore


“Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy.”
Wayne Dyer

(via thresca)

It does not count if you believe in yourself when it’s easy to believe in yourself. It does not count if you believe the world can be a better place when the future looks bright. It does not count if you think you’re going to make it when the finish line is right in front of you.

It counts when it’s hard to believe in yourself, when it looks like the world’s going to end and you’ve still got a long way to go.

That’s when it counts. That’s when it matters the most.

- I Wrote This For You

“Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.”
Andre Maurois

“To be nobody but yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”
E.E. Cummings

“There’s the people who you’ve known forever who know you in this way that other people can’t because they’ve seen you change… they’ve let you change.”
My So-Called Life

“It’s terribly amusing how many different climates of feeling one can go through in a day.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh



Bailey: You know what I like most about the stars? You look at them, at all of them up there... and you just know there's gotta be something more than...
Tibby: Life?
Bailey: There has to be.
Tibby: Are you scared?
Bailey: Not of dying, really. It's more that I'm afraid of time. And not having enough of it. Time to figure out who I'm supposed to be... to find my place in the world before I have to leave it. I'm afraid of what I'll miss.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I ask for is a bit of maturity, rationality, reason and understanding. And maybe, some of your time. Also, a bit of of consideration.

I want more time.

I want you to understand me better.

And I want to make things better. But I know, all I'd get is being shouted at, dramaticized, exaggerated and I know, what I should do is shut up. But what I want is to make you see. SEE.

SEE.

The more it goes on, the more numb I become, the more immune I become at it. The better I become at not listening to it. Because a lot of it is drama.

I thought all the frustrations would be over already. GOSH.

She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know
- Marilyn Monroe



You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
-
Eleanor Roosevelt



Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
- King Whitney Jr.

The Quiet World by Jeffrey McDaniel
9:59 PM Saturday, February 21, 2009


In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

Which Makes Me Believe I'll Be Safe
9:43 PM



And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren’t any other people living in the world.
- Anne Frank

You will become whatever you want to become. Even if you don’t know what that is.
Be careful of what you want.


Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
-
Leo F. Buscaglia


Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
- Louise Erdrich (The Painted Drum: A Novel)







The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept, in silence sealed; the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed.

Jane Eyre; Charlotte Brontë



Writing is a form of therapy. Sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human situation.
- Graham Greene






A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
- Richard Bach



To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
-
Oscar Wilde



We must be willing to get rid of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
- Joseph Campbell



I like brackets.

Stop leaving and you will arrive.
Stop searching and you will see.
Stop running away and you will be found.
- Lao Tzu

Maybe sometimes, you have no choice.
You just have to love the people around you.
Or to be away from them.
To exist in peace.



i want decorative tapes. all patterns. especially a lace one.



And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.
- Douglas Coupland


When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.

One day, you will be given back every pen you've ever lost.




Soliloquy
9:18 PM


Tension of the paper weight.
Diverging.

Your words are just fists of air.
Look in the mirror and see you hair.

I really admire your self-confidence.

It's no wonder I do what I do.
It's no wonder I go where I go.

This time, no questions please.
