Wisdom Wednesday: Shit Tumblr says...

Happy Wednesday! With Wednesday comes the inevitable "hump day" blues, sense of disillusionment, exhaustion, and longing for the weekend. Like a good shot of espresso, an inspiring quote can often inspire and perk me up, ready to take on what the rest of the day and week holds. Each Wednesday here on notsosimplestyle features a few bits of wisdom on varying topics, in the hopes you may find humor, inspiration, solace and affirmation.


I will admit my addiction to Tumblr as readily as the next person. While the ferocity of my obsession waxes and wanes, usually inversely in regards to how much I have to do; it does offer delightful digital distraction. After hours, you may find yourself wallowing over sad loves of the past that you never actually had, never-ending gifs of tv-shows with committed fandoms, beautiful overly-filtered pictures, and incomprehensible wolves, triangles, and aztec print. With that said, Tumblr does offer forth some quotes gems, reassurance that you are not alone in feeling a particular way, even if every hipster and their brother has reblogged it.


Some people will only remember you when they need something.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.

There is always that one person who you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these lovable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else; they're often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.

It's one thing to admit you're in over your head. It's another, to welcome the drowning.

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good and what is not won't. Relationships are worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you must move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don't lose something real. Always fight, until you can't anymore, and then be fought for.

And I tell myself, a moon will rise from my darkness.

Don't ask for my opinion then get mad when I tell you the truth.
                      ~ truelifequote


You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. You were created to be victorious.

Remember that person you thought you couldn't live without? Well, look at you living and shit.
                       ~ kushandwizdom


If you can't solve it, it isn't a problem--it's reality. And sometimes reality is the hardest thing to understand and the thing that takes the longest to realize. But once it hits you in the face you'll never forget it. It will always be there in your memories and sometimes that is the best way to look at it.
