“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”
i want to be the smile, the first thought,
the long drive,or the short walk,the last
voice, the random call, the laugh,the
perfect kiss, the comfort hug,your
second half,the sparkle in your eye,the
everything you need,just what you want
I WANT TO BE YOURS.
Everyday, i fight back the urge
to text you or call you,
telling myself that
if you wanted to talk to me,
you would.
if u cant be great at what u do.. why even bother doing it???
-I dont want to be your whole life...just your favorite part
-Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
kindness where none is asked..
One may have good eyes and yet see nothing.
Many people hold onto a grudge because it offers the illusion of power and a perverse feeling of security. But in fact, we are held hostage by our anger. It is never too late to forgive. But you can forgive too soon. I am especially wary of what I call saintly forgiveness. Premature forgiveness is common among people who avoid conflict. They're afraid of their own anger and the anger of others. But their forgiveness is false. Their anger goes underground. I define forgiving as letting someone back into your heart. This returns us to a loving state -- and not merely within the relationship -- we feel good about ourselves and the world. True forgiveness isn't easy, but it transforms us significantly. To forgive is to love and to feel worthy of love. In that sense, it is always worthwhile.
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. We play make believe, pretend to take ourselves and each other seriously--to love each other, hate each other--but then--it isn't true. It isn't true, we don't care at all!
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
-Truthfulness is the main element of character.
-What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others
it takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you: the one to slander you, and the other to get the news to you.You will be remembered in life for one of the two things - the problems you solved or the ones you created.
"Where there is no struggle there is no strength"
If one doesn't respect oneself one can have neither love nor respect for others.
'Cause I might know you a little better than you think. And I don't want you waking up one morning thinking if you'd known everything you might have done something different.
