That’s the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.
— Charles Bukowski, Women (via sickur)

— C.S. Lewis (via durianquotes)
What made you happy once may not make you happy now.
— Jodi Picoult (via onlinecounsellingcollege)
