Ask Anything

Hey guys, my name is Samantha. I'm in english major at Washington State University. This is my place to reblog or post quotes or pictures that describe with better words than I ever could the beauty and suffering of life.
I have wrapped myself round in my own personality again. How does it come about - these sudden, intense changes of view? Perhaps my life is unusually conscious: very vivid to me. But when I enter a complete world of its own, I realise that this is existing whether I exist or not; and so get bowled over.
Virginia Woolf, Diary Entry, 9 May 1926. (via skeletales)

I used to listen to the poem while I was making dinner and one time I broke down in tears, crying into my cutting board. ‘You look like you’re in a movie written by a man,’ I said to my reflection in the mirror on the wall in front of me, a woman crying while chopping vegetables.

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous.” -Romans 3:23

I stood still, vision blurring,
and in that moment,
I heard my heart break.
It was a small, clean sound,
like the snapping of a flower’s stem.
