Truth

The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

“Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance”

“You can live your whole life not realizing that what you're looking for is right in front of you.” 


"When all is said and done, you are part of me. That's the way it was meant to be. People are brought together for a reason, everything happens for a reason. I believe the reason that you and me were brought together was because we complete one another. We fill in each other's missing spots..."


The thing I've been thinking about the most, is this. Time. Such a brutal means of defining life. Age. Youth. What does it mean...how does perspective evolve with time? Seems such an unfair treatment to define ones person with the number of their age. Its not fair to judge a person off something they have absolutely no control over. But it does matter. It all matters. Because in the end, how old you are is telling of the capacity you have to have experienced life. You can only fit so much into a short amount of time. When you've undergone minimum experiences then everything matters so much more. Your perspective is shrunk, you're appreciation for life is limitless, and you are free. Scared and new, but free. And with the small amounts of wisdom you make decisions to the best of your capacity. Once you become older your perspective grows but everything else shrinks. You lose invincibility. You lose spontaneity. But you trade in the angst and the searching. You settle, you find someone that makes growing older more bearable.
 Age is just as much a handicap as time. Another mark another label-one more thing you have to answer too. Don't presume I am any different.
