It is good to feel lost... because it proves you have a navigational sense of where "Home" is. You know that a place that feels like being found exists. And maybe your current location isn't that place but, Hallelujah, that unsettled, uneasy feeling of lost-ness just brought you closer to it. ~Erika Harris

 "I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around."

(Ryan Gosling, "Blue Valentine")

I’m so out of love with you. I’ve got 

nothing left for you, nothing, nothing. 

Nothing. There is nothing here for you. I 

don’t love you...

Don’t say stuff you can’t take back

You fucking asked for it, you asked me, I 

talk to you.

Michelle Williams is Brilliant.

This movie was Brilliant.

Life is harsh. 

Capture the moments that are perfect.

Happiness is fleeting.

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match

Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

Ingrid Michaelson

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

“All of life is a journey which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there.” (Unknown)

There is a familiar path that winds through my forest,

Made up of soft wood shaving,

ground into the damp earth hiding beneath.

this is my path, and I'm meant to journey down its endless course.

But it is narrow, too slender for a companion to walk alongside me.

So I must walk this path alone.

I am not afraid, for the path is recognizable

and I find comfort in my steps down its eternal passageway to the unknown.

As I begin walking, I can tell this will not be an easy expedition.

Every mile my path has twists and turns.

Despite the challenges that lie before me, I feel confident and safe as I begin my walk.

-Excerpt from "The Forest" (Myself 1.27.2009)

" And I don't want to cry when you go. Stay a little longer, you know... You're making me feel... The monsters aren't real. You're making me feel...not alone." Sara Bareilles

      

“And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star. And when the night winds start to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there, if love can see us through then, we'll be together ... Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.”

performed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram

And if I only worry 'bout it
Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it
I just keep breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down

Boy, I could do without
Do without, do without
A night of the bad dreams, sad things
Tell me what that means

I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul

"Not Alone" Sara Bareilles

“As I look back on all that's happened..growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me -- there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever..and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold.”

-UNKNOWN

For you, because you're my person, and you'll always be my person. I'll always feel safe with you. And I'll miss you for ever minute we are apart, and I'll be forever grateful for the time we have together.

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night.  I miss you like hell.  

~Edna St Vincent Millay

The night sky is made up of stars scattered throughout the galaxy.

The stars light the dark, glimpses of hope.

My light, my glimpse, my happiness...

my stars shine on earth,

staring up at the blank night sky.

My hope is here, lighting a path in the darkness,

but you are so far away from me.

Tiny dots of light, separated by longitude and latitudinal.

Connected together, a pattern, a constellation.

My constellation in my sky.
