I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes, the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time,’ you have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies

Eric Shaw (via perrfectly)

In a relationship, you need somebody who’s going to call you out, not somebody who’s going to let everything slide. You need somebody who doesn’t want to live without you, but can. Not somebody that is dependent, but somebody who is stronger with you. A relationship is two people, not one

one of my favorite quotes about relationships (via safeguards)

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.

Alice Walker (via lazypacific)

That’s how you know you love someone, I guess, when you can’t experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.

Kaui Hart Hemmings, The Descendants  (via wordsnquotes)

You can’t calm the storm… so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.
