"The human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. that death doesn’t just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed."

— Mitch Albom

"At the end of the day, he said, “I will take care of you,” his voice thick with emotion. She stood before him and nodded. He zipped her coat for her."

Amazing:

“Paramedic Chris Porsz used to spend hours in the 1980s walking around the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, and taking candid shots without his subjects knowing. Three decades later Chris, 56, who is known as the ‘paramedic paparazzo’ decided to reconstruct his favourite photos to find out what these people were doing now.”

Caption for the photos above: “Then and now: Tony and Sally say farewell as long-distance lovers in 1980 and, right, strike the same pose at Peterborough station. Now Mr and Mrs Wilmot, the couple have been married 26 years and have two grown-up children.”

Chris reconstructed two more of his old photos; this is my favorite of the three. See the others & read the accompanying article at the DailyMail here.

I had a really great day today. I really love the chats. Heart-to-heart at times. I don't know but if there's ever a problem u faces and needs a company. I will be there for you. Remember this. This is what friends are for..isn't it? And I'm so sorry to the two guys that I can't join your for movie today. We will meet up next week alright! To that girl who's in trouble, please text me. My number's 82823925 if you have forgotten. To myself, do whatever you can now before you can't. Quoted from Deyun: "It's really nice to hang out for awhile after one week of school.." This is so true. For students like me, we usually have lessons from as early as 8am in the morning to 5 or 6pm in the evening of the day but can you imagine working in a fucking office for 12 hours straight with only a stupid hour lunch break for you to chill and mingle? And might even have to work overtime and bring work back home to do! How to manage a good lifestyle this way? How to keep a relationship/marriage going then? Wouldn't your life be a dull one? Yes, it's secure but we are humans. People need to have a balanced lifestyle between security and development like goals/dreams and surprises. These are stuff I have learn from my module Understand Relationship. It really helps me. I'm a relationship idiot because I have never been in one so do forgive me for words I have said and didn't really mean it at all. I was just trying to share my stuff with you.. P.S. Life is just so boring and I'm boring but I will make an effort to be a crown for you at times :)

Today was wonderful.
I have enjoyed it.

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love.
- Leo Buscaglia

We humans can tolerate suffering, but we cannot tolerate meaninglessness - Desmond Tutu

When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through - Nicholas Spark, Dear John

Whoever sang this song is marvelous! :D

"Someone comes into your life and half of you says, ‘Danger, stay in your cave, you’re nowhere near ready.’ And the other half says, ‘Make it yours forever.’"

- Remember Me

"Dearest, do you know how much in love with you I am? Did I trip? Did I stumble - lose my balance, graze my knee, graze my heart? I know I’m in love when I see you. I know when I long to see you, I’m on fire. Not a muscle has moved. Leaves hang unruffled by any breeze. The air is still. I have fallen in love without taking a step. You are all wrong for me and I know it, but I can no longer care for my thoughts unless they are thoughts of you. When I am close to you, I feel your hair brush my cheek when it does not. I look away from you sometimes, then I look back. When I tie my shoes, when I peel an orange, when I drive my car, when I lie down each night without you, I remain… Yours…"

Two weeks in preparation.
One day of joy and laughter.
Hope you have really enjoyed yourself!
Happy Birthday to you! (:

Maybe that’s just growing up. When you’re young, you tell yourself things like ‘Well, if it didn’t work out, it wasn’t meant to be’ as if that actually meant something just because it sounds like it does. I think you can say something like that so blithely because you expect to stumble onto something else just as wonderful just around the next bend in the road. But people are rare perfect unique things and just because everyone really does live a life full of farewells doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least realize what it really means to say goodbye to something that meant everything. Just because you WILL survive and get over it doesn’t mean you should let it go.

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t always like.

"People can change. They just don’t because it’s easier not to. We’re always waiting for our lives to begin, like figuring we’ll be someone else someday. But what are we waiting for? All we have is now. Don’t run from this."
