She grew up tall and she grew up right.
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights.

So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.
— Ellen DeGeneres (via larmoyante)

I tried not to think about my life. I did not have any good solid plans for it long-term—no bad plans either, no plans at all—and the lostness of that, compared with the clear ambitions of my friends (marriage, children, law school), sometimes shamed me. Other times in my mind I defended such a condition as morally and intellectually superior—my life was open and ready and free—but that did not make it less lonely.
