FOR THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO I COULD NEVER LIVE WITHOUT...
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
"You loved me 'cause I'm fragile. When I thought that I was strong but you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone."
"We act like we know it all. You know -- and I've got it all together ... But we don't know what is going on half the time. We're scared to death ...(of) not finding it ... our place ... I mean, I've had moments --- and I knew that there was no other place that I should be -- but those are moments and then they go..."
“Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.”
“All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
You may not understand what I'm talking about, but it makes sense to me.
In those moments where you step back, and see it in its entirety,
the pieces that fit together, and where they belong in the puzzle.
Some people put together the outline, starting with the corners...the framework.
Those lucky ones who realize the bigger picture and fill in the rest,..
Well I started with the center and I'm working on the rest
and, just now...
starting to see the bigger picture.
I love the night, but lately have been gathering a better appreciation for the morning.
The possibility of a day and the sunrise.
Desperate for it to make sense, forcing patience...
don't forget to trust...without trust we have fear.
Fear can be so debilitating.
Looking back at experiences where I had fear,
I didn't trust in the adventure.
In order to maximize experience you have to have trust ,
that things are going to be okay...
trust in the ferocity of life,
the relationships you have built.
but most importantly,
in yourself.
Trust leads to so much freedom.
That's what I want really, the freedom,
to be.
to do.
to explore.
to love.
to live.
Never underestimate the power or unconditional love.
Keep the people who support you close,
distance yourself from those who break you down.
trust that those in your past who remain in your present will appear in your future.
Those people are so valuable and irreplaceable.
count your blessing, believe them, they might know you better then you know yourself.
don't allow the adventure and allure of freedom keep you from strengthening those bonds.
chances are...when you look back on it all,
you'll remember the sunsets and sunrises,
the beauty of nature,
the roads you've traveled,
the cities you've lived in,
but mostly the way the people in your life made you feel.
focus on the good and forget the bad.
believe them.
they might know you better then you know yourself.
