... I know nothing with any certainty
... but the sight of the stars makes me dream

” The best way is not to fight it, just go.

chelseababy:

Don’t be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger. Don’t do what you want. Do what you don’t want. Do what you’re trained not to want. It’s the opposite of following your bliss. Do the things that scare you the most. “

Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Live it up

“Pony rides, moonlit walks, board games, puzzles? Dad, why are you spending so much time with me?”

“Because, Angel, there’s no where else I’d rather be. When I’m at work, I’d rather be with you. The truth is, wherever I may be, if I’m not with you… I’d rather be with you.”

“But we’ve never spent this much time together before.”

“I know. And I’m sorry. Sometimes it takes a rather long lifetime to realize that life is short. If you love someone, tell them. Show them. Be with them. Nothing else matters. In the end, only love remains. Honey, I love you and there’s no place else I’d rather be than right here with you.”

His words made me smile. Months later, my dad died of cancer…

In the end, only love remains. Don’t take a lifetime to show it. Life is short; live it up.

love life, engage in it, give it all you’ve got. love it with a passion, because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

To ourselves, we’re great.  Yet most of us live life without making a stand, contented to blend into the background of self-rendering nothingness.  Live your life with a bit of recklessness-someone once told me “someone who doesn’t make mistakes makes nothing”.  I don’t want to look back feel contented at my mediocre accomplishments.  Nobody remembers the person who conformed out of inadequacy.

“Nobody notices a patch of grass, they see the tree”

Finding yourself…

Truthfully expressing yourself or putting on no pretense. Being able to be who you are is a hard thing without putting on a show. So, your goal is to just be.

At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It’s not like you’re giving up, and it’s not like you shouldn’t try. It’s just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours will eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

There will come a time in your life when you will become infatuated with a single soul. For this person, you’d do anything and not think twice about it. But when asked why, you have no answer. You’ll try your whole life to understand how a single person can affect you as much as they do. But you’ll never find out. And no matter how badly you hate it or how badly it hurts; you’ll love this person without regret, for the rest of your life.

Have you ever missed someone that was literally sitting right next to you? Like you start to realize that you’re not as close to each other as you once were. You still talk to them, but not as much as you used to. You still see them, yet it’s as if you’re looking at a stranger. It kinda sucks too because that special bond you once had with them just disappeared in thin air. They’re sitting so close to you, but you feel so distant from them. I fucking hate that feeling.

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

If an issue is driving a wedge in a significant relationship but the other person is completely oblivious to the situation, what are you to do? Do you hold your tongue, simply smile at the mention of the invisible elephant and unnoticeably continue to further yourself from them? Do you speak up allowing them to finally recognize reality and perhaps force the division between you to become even greater? 

Either way you increase the risk of losing someone important. But in exactly which way are you willing to lose someone, without ever uttering a word or saying too much?

“In the end it’s better to say to much than never say what you need to say again.”

“Something ‘bout the way… something ‘bout the way you look in my eyes. You make everything so damn easy. So easy that I don’t got to worry about a thing.

And baby when we touch, all I can see is the image of us… sittin by the ocean just before the dusk… sippin on a juice box with sand between our toes.

And this is the part when we say we’re in love and the part where we have our first kiss.
But this ain’t a movie, I know you can’t come with me. You got your life… He better be treating you right… treating you right.

Just tell me you don’t love me. Tell me you don’t feel the same way that I do. Tell me I don’t make you smile like I do when you walk in the room… You’re so hard to let go.

Oh, this is the part when we say we’re in love and the part where we say it’s forever. But this ain’t a fantasy. I know you can’t come with me. You got your life… He better be treating you right. You got your life… He better be treating you right.

This hurts so much… to know that you’re with someone else when you should be with me. It’s just hard to accept that I can’t be around… He better be treating you good.

I’m no Einstein, but I know a sign when I see one and I know you love me too… I know you love me too.

And this is the part when we say we’re in love and the part where we have our first kiss. But this ain’t a movie, I know you can’t come with me. You got your life… He better be treating you good… so good.

You got your life… He better be treating you right.”
