Find a woman who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on her.
Who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep...
Wait for the woman who kisses your forehead and who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of her friends and who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on.
That one woman who is constantly reminding you of how much she cares and how lucky she is to have you.... that one woman who turns to her friends and says: “That's her!”

With a heart of any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,

To find someone who will love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness - Robert Brault

At any rate, I might pursue some path,
however solitary and narrow and crooked,
in which I could walk with love and reverence.

—Henry David Thoreau

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.
(Stacey Charter)

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
(Buddha)

You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing
And so am I.
Come with me, then,
And we’ll leave it far and far away—
(Only you and I, understand!)
You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and—
Just tired.
So am I.
But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And I knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart—
Open to me!
For I will show you places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.
Ah, come with me!
I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
That floats forever and a day;
I’ll sing you the jacinth song
Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
Until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea.

~e.e. cummings

I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
Martha Washington

Sappho

Please
Come back to me, Gongyla, here tonight,
You, my rose, with your Lydian lyre.
There hovers forever around you delight:
A beauty desired.

Even your garment plunders my eyes.
I am enchanted: I who once
Complained to the Cyprus-born goddess,
Whom I now beseech

Never to let this lose me grace
But rather bring you back to me:
Amongst all mortal women the one
I most wish to see.

--Translated by Paul Roche

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. ~Jim Morrison

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. -- Neruda

Butterbean · 01-24-2012, 09:00 AM

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. ~Author Unknown
