I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens

On Being Yourself
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.--Dr. Suess
Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face.--Carol Mosely-Braun How are you going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued? Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.--Anne Lamott (in Starting Over) I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.--Booker T. Washington :lips: |
You want a man who will cover your eyes & lead you down to the beach
just so you can discover the feel of sand beneath your feet. You want a guy who will wake you up at dawn bursting to talk to you, because he can't wait another minute just to find out what you're going to say. ~From "Runaway Bride" (Richard Gere & Julia Roberts) :eyebat: |
I love Pearl Jam
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh Oh I’m a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they’ve got none Stay with me… Let’s just breathe… Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world to make me believe Stay with me You’re all I see… Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? Oh, if I didn’t I’m a fool you see No one knows this more than me As I come clean… I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh Everything you gave And nothing you would save, oh no Nothing you would take Everything you gave… Did I say that I need you? Oh, did I say that I want you? Oh, if I didn’t I’m a fool you see No one knows this more than me And I come clean, ah… Nothing you would take Everything you gave Hold me til I die Meet you on the other side… |
What though the radiance
which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass or glory in the flower, we will grieve not. Rather find strength in what remains behind —Wordsworth |
In reference to the leaves in his backyard, my dad said they were "knee high, no BUTT high to a giraffe!"
It's about what we take from it, right? |
As long as you don't forgive, who and whatever it is will occupy rent-free space in your mind.--Isabelle Holland (The Long Search)
The folly which we might have ourselves committed is the one which we are least ready to pardon in another.--Joseph Roux (Meditations of a Parish Priest) Forgiveness is an inner correction that lightens the heart. It is for our peace of mind first. Being at peace, we will now have peace to give to others, and this is the most permanent and valuable gift we can possibly give.--Gerald Jampolsky Forgiveness is giving up the right to retaliate. Forgiveness is the willingness to have something happen the way it happened. It's not true that you can't forgive something; it's a matter of the will, and you always have the choice. Forgiveness is never dependent on what the other person does or does not do; it is always under our control. Forgiveness is giving up the insistence on being understood....--Pixie Koestline Hammond (For Everything There Is a Season) |
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson |
“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.”

authentically fucked up
“The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.”
-- Andre Gide |
The authentic self is the soul made visible.
~Sarah Ban Breathnach |
Not knowing when the dawn will come,
I open every door. ~Emily Dickinson |
"Take a look at those two open hands of yours. They are tools with which to serve, make friends, and reach out for the best in life. Open hands open the way to achievement. Put them to work today." ~ Wilfred A. Peterson

My karma ran over your dogma. ~Author Unknown
|
"However, one cannot put a quart in a pint cup."
~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman |
Eternity He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise. --William Blake |
I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.--Anna Quindlen

You can kill a lifetime without feeling anything but skin.
Chuck Palahniuk |
Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame.
