She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful for the way she thought. She was beautiful for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul."

I love this quote because attractivness bares so deeply from the innermost part of your being. Its simply an echo of your heart and it gleams throught the oasis of your eyes, touch, vibrations and so much more than just the exterior that one sees at first glance.

Blind justice has a photographic memory; its aperture exposes guilt, poetically.

"I personally don’t like being an adult. Being an adult comes at a price. You are now faced with a reality which kind of pressures you to chase after stability and security so they become your new dream. That’s why I don’t consider myself or rather don’t want to consider myself as an adult. Sure, my age will define as an adult but I want to be a teenage-adult who is still chasing after his dream. I wish you can be like that too. Stay innocent, be naive. But still dream big. Dream big to the point that it is beyond your ability and endeavor to achieve it. So dream big and don’t lose your innocence."

Don't ever let someone tell you that your dreams are unrealistic. Don't get discouraged by the fact that your biggest dreams will always be out of your reach or that someone else has achieved more than you. Some dreams were never meant to become a reality, but when we chase them, we discover new and more beautiful realities we wouldn't have found otherwise.

but i’ve fallen in love with a ghost

and i lost my balance when i needed it most

this blurry photograph is proof

of what i’m not sure but it feels like truth

- Sleeping At Last

I'm gonna list a couple of my favorite quotes:

"We write to taste life twice" - Anais Nin

and some from fellow Prosers!

“Because how rare it is to find another who will make you feel the way the stars look; bright and luminous” - OpheliaRose

“The ocean speaks to me, / he says he’s an unraveler / resolved to bringing me / safely home to my air / breathing world.” - Yankeedoodle30

“So no matter how scary things get, give ’em a smile, as if to say, “I’m a-ok”. The people in this world who can smile are always the strongest.”

This quote was said by one hero to another. People feel scared when pushed into a corner. It is at those moments when you should smile. You should say “I’m fine”. People who have the power to smile in a situation where others tend to panic are the strongest out of everyone in the world.

"Looking back, that’s when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes. I stopped looking up at the stars at night. I stopped daydreaming. I tried to jam myself into moulds that other people made. Soon, I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others.  No one called out my name, and neither did I.

My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut. So, like this, I, we, all lost our names. We became like ghosts... I had one sanctuary, and that was music. There was a small voice in me that said, ’Wake up, man, and listen to yourself!” But it took me a long time to hear music calling my name.

Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become... I would like to say one last thing... So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I urge you to “speak yourself."

I would like to ask all of you. What is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat? Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself.

I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little.

What is your name? Speak Yourself!"

This long quote came from a speech Kim Nam Joon gave at the UN General Assembly September 24, 2018. He spoke about their album "Love Yourself" and the meaning behind it.

Maybe it was the sincerity he spoke with or maybe it was the truth that rang in it but it seeped into my heart and stays there every day, reminding me that, although I may mess up one day, it doesn't matter because tomorrow, I'll be better because of it.

I don't really know how to express how this makes me feel. I don't think words can describe the kind of belonging they've given me to when I couldn't belong or the warmth that slipped over me as their songs played in my ears. I can't explain the love that fills my chest when I see them succeeding at their dreams.

But they've given me a dream... whether it be to do this or that or be here or there, I have promised to always love myself and most importantly, speak myself. Because being silent will never help me. I need to stand up, make myself clear, and hold strong to my beliefs and convictions even if everyone else goes against me.

Because I've learned to love myself and I am continuing to learn.
