William Shakespeare

Let your past make you better, not bitter.

Do not be shaped by this world; instead be changed within by a new way of thinking.

Romans 12:2

That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty… you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.

J. D. Salinger

Change is opportunity and growth.

Starting today I will no longer depend on daily use of technology. It’s been a main distraction of mine for quite some time now. I’d like to be more productive and enjoy things out there. What I mean by this is, is that I’ll be shutting off my internet and cell phone for a while. I need to break away from this routine that’s been consuming so much of my time. Time that can be spent going out to different places. I want to wake up and have an actual schedule with things on my list. I want to be motivated and have things I can look forward to. I mentioned last night that I wanted novelty so I’m making it happen. I don’t care how ridiculous this might seem to some of you. I know it will do me good. Sometimes breaking out of habits can change you in ways you never thought were possible.
” If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.  The smallest decisions are the ones that make the biggest difference in your life. ” - Nido Qubein

You’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before. I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.

Cassandra Clare

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

How to spend a day:

1. Defy the laws of gravity
2. Read a book
3. Eat cheesecake
4. Have brunch with someone you appreciate
5. Watch a movie
6. Stay in bed
7. If it's cold outside, bundle up and go to the park- swing until you're hearly frozen
8. Cook someone a meal
9. Go for a long walk
10. Make a snowman, even if there is no snow
11. Smile and tell someone you love them
12. Don't put your life to waste

Spend every moment awake.

If it's meant to be, it will be.

I love no one but you, I have discovered, but you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I’ll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I’ll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.

Lemony Snicket

Your lack of regard for grammar is proportional to my lack of respect for you.

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.

Bob Marley

When it comes to

Looks: No one stays pretty forever. We all get old, we all have babies, and our bodies change. Looks don’t define a person nor make them who they are. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what someone else considers to be beautiful you might not. While a person may be beautiful on the outside they may be miserable and nasty on the inside.

Holding a Grudge:  People change, people make mistakes. You can’t change a person, nor can you change what has happened in the past. Hating someone for a mistake that they made just puts YOU in the wrong. Move on in your life, let things go. It’s not worth fixating on something that you cannot change anymore and that has already happened. We all make mistakes, but it has no effect on us what other people do or have done.

Money: Money isn’t everything, and money can’t buy happiness. You appreciate the finer things in life more if you have worked for it, rather than getting it all handed to you.

Relationships:  In a relationship a person has to think about not only themselves but the other person as well. A relationship is not all about giving and expecting something back in return. Sometimes you give to the other person because you love them and appreciate them, while the only thing you need back in return is for them to love you and appreciate you as well.

Life Obstacles: Everything happens for a reason, and most of the time we don’t understand the reason but we know that it was for the best of us. Nobodies life is perfect, if everyone was perfect there would be no point in living on this earth. We are given obstacles so that we can learn from them and so that they can make us even stronger.

Letting Go: People come into our lives for a reason, and when they have fulfilled that reason they walk out of our lives. Relationships come and go, and not everyone ends up with the person that they thought would be their soulmate. People get old, and people die, but we never forget that those people have taught us the greatest life lessons ever and have shaped us into who we are. Always remember, that letting go of something or someone that you are so attached to is hard, but trying to keep whats not meant to be is even harder.

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.

Pablo Picasso

We are not mad. We are human.We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.

Leonard Cohen

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.

Douglas Coupland
