Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish it’s source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.  —Anais Nin (via kari-shma)

You need to resign yourself to the awkwardness of life. Only if you find peace within yourself will you find true connection with others.  —Palm Reader (to Celine) - Before Sunrise (via azvillahermosa)

So, why does time fly by as you get older? When you are younger, you have more novel, new experiences. You see your mother for the first time. You learn your first language. Everything around you is new information. When the brain puts together these new details, they seem slower when you look back on them. When you age, your understanding of the world is larger. But because you are constantly surrounded by the usual family, school and experiences, details aren’t taken in so intricately. This makes entire days seem like fleeting moments!
According to this psychological diagram, if you turned 80 - looking back, the middle of your life will appear to be your 20’s!
Moral of the story: Do something new every day to make your life seem longer and richer.

1. To provide a meaningful contribution to improving antipsychotic medication. Currently the drugs are based on symptoms and there needs to be more focus on neurobiology. More so than any of my other goals, it’s what I’m dedicating my life to.

2. To never repeat my parents’ mistakes

3. To always have deep and enduring relationships with other people. I want to improve on forming them.

4. To settle down in a place where I can put a garden and a library. I guess this is a trivial goal, but it’s been important to me since I was little. 

These are some of the things I think are most interesting to find out about someone
red: seven insecurities
orange: six fears
yellow: five turn ons
green: four life goals
blue: three fears
indigo: two weaknesses
violet: one thing you love
apartment gardening
one of my favorite combinations of people
