“All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.”
—Ralph Ellison, Battle Royal (via creatingaquietmind)
Hey, I just thought I'd say how much you mean to me, I bet people will just scroll right past this, but that's okay. To the person that is reading this: you are amazing, and I love you. :)
