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.

"She’s moving on without you The tide breaks You watch the stars fade They gather you back to their home I guess it’s better than being alone."


"Every time I look at you I get a fierce desire to be lonesome." -Anonymous



I can't get to bed 
But I'm really tired 
The things in my head 
You used to admire 
In your sundrenched world


Sometimes. I'm really glad I'm me. I'm glad I think they way I do, I'm glad I feel the way I do. I cherish my own perspectives and count all my blessings. I'd hate to lose myself. I appreciate everything about me, more then I know. More then I care to remember sometimes. It's important to know that in order to love all of yourself you even have to learn to love the things you hate.


Can't get my mind off of you
I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should than I thought I could

Some days you're the only person I want to talk too.
I forget the impossible and dream my dreams into reality.
Endure the worse for the better times.
I think maybe even when you don't understand, the comfort of just having you...
that makes everything okay.
Sometimes, some days, it just makes it harder-more lonely.
But I push through those times and wait for the pay off...
Knowing that I'll never really understand it all.
Someday though...just so you know...
some days you're the only person I want to talk too. 



"And I remember the truth, a warm December with you. But I don't have to make this mistake, and I don't have to stay this way. If only I would wake-The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow. Calling out Winter."
-Joshua Radin

“If you ask people what they've always wanted to do, most people haven't done it. That breaks my heart.”


I used to listen to it all the time when I was little and thinking about grown-up things. I would go to my bedroom window and stare at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours. I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song, I should give it to that person. And I didn’t mean beautiful on the outside. I meant beautiful in all ways. Perks of Being a Wallflower



"We can begin by stepping away from the hectic world, finding a quiet place and just sitting with ourselves. At first you might notice that it is hard to switch off the mind's chattering and get quiet within. But the mind's chatter might be a valuable aid at this beginning point, in that its content can give us our first insights into our deeper self." (On exploring emotional intimacy)




"Climbing is unadulterated hard labor. The only real pleasure is the satisfaction of going where no man has been before and where few can follow"
.


"McCandless went into the wilderness not primarily to ponder nature or world at large but, rather, to explore the inner country of his own soul" 


In another life. I would be your girl. We'd keep all our promises. Be us against the world. In another life. I would make you stay. So I don't have to say. You were the one that got away. -Katy Perry


Listen. The point is I have a lot on my mind right now. I'm just trying to figure it all out. 
What it means, how to handle it, what to do next.
Just like you do, it's the same. I'm exploring my inner self.
I work on it. I fail. I"m not perfect. But every day is  a new  start and a chance to do better.
Learning the what I like, what I don't. What to keep, what to change.
Everyone has problems, no one is perfect.
It's about at least making the effort to mend.
Everything else will fall into place. 
Patience.

The key is too treat the issue with delicacy.
Applaud improvement.
Nothing that's worth it ever comes easy.
You're voice is only heard when you speak up.
Don't forget to celebrate .
Dance. 

Remind yourself about the basics.
Show gratitude.
Count your blessings.
Such a clique I know, but really. Think about your opportunities.
Walk in someone else's shoes.
Be brave.





“We accept the love we think we deserve.”

"The more you love yourself, the easier it becomes for you to spend time with yourself and actually enjoy the silence of your own thoughts and ideas and personality. It also begins to tell the universe that you deserve those things that you desire and want in your life and allows the universe to begin to align itself in ways that will allow you to get what you want."

"Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top." -Virginia Woolf

Moon
And I can barely look at you 
But every single time I do 
I know we'll make it anywhere 
Away from here 
Light up, light up 
As if you have a choice 
Even if you cannot hear my voice 
I'll be right beside you dear 
Louder louder 
And we'll run for our lives 
I can hardly speak I understand
Run. Snow Patrol.
but there's only one thing on my mind searching boxes underneath the counter on a chance that on a tape I'd find  a song for  someone who needs somewhere to long forhomesick cause I no longer know where home is
homesick. kings of convenience
Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing. -Sylvia Plath
I want to feel inspired.
I want to feel repaired.
I want to understand it all.
Everything matters.
 Actions, words, what you do say, what you don't say.
I cannot shut of this endless streaming of thought.
Everything matters,
while it may not last
I hold onto it.
It's permanent.
Everlasting.
Don't damage the perfection.
Don't taint the image.
Breath it in, exhale.
I can't understand the only thing that matters.
Answers. Answer. Answers.
Love. Beauty. Truth. Passion.
Patience.
Dancing.
Everything matters.
Frustration, invention, exploration.
A sad song, a truth.
I know it all, I've been there,
the road well traveled.
I walk alone.
Into the wild.
Under the night sky.
Darkness.
Light.
It all matters.
