We see the things we want to see along with what we want others to see about us. In an age where we curate our lives digitally, choosing the things we present on Facebook, blogs, Twitter, countless other networks, can we ever know the truth about someone? Aren’t we all choosing the most flattering versions of ourselves to represent us? We untag unflattering photos, don’t share the more embarrassing or uglier details of our lives, and pick and choose what we present.

I'm happy becos I know you are, not for anything else.

"How does one become a butterfly? They have to want to learn to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."

"Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you."

"Memory is a giggling sprite and will not be tamed. She takes flight the moment the present becomes the past."

"We are all unkind from time to time. We all do things we desperately wish we could undo. Those regrets just become part of who we are, along with everything else. To spend time trying to change that, well, it’s like chasing clouds."

— Libba Bray, A Great and Terrible Beauty

"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."

— Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge

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…"
