How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong—because someday you will have been all of these.

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy.

Life As We Know It

You know, when I was in love, I was always inventing things. A whole array of tricks, illusions and optical effects to amuse my lady friend. I think she’d had enough of my inventions by the end… I wanted to create a voyage to the moon just for her, but what I should have given her was a real journey on earth.

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you’ll be free if you truly wish to be. If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

His heart felt dangerously full, for the first time in years. That dried-up battered organ, suddenly flush with love. It could kill him.

It’s easy to have a secret, sometimes it’s even fun, until reality starts to creep into it and then the secret seeps into your real life. That’s when people get hurt, that’s when you have to make choices. It’s not even that one choice is right while the other is wrong but that eventually you have to find a way to sleep at night.

Men always want to be a woman’s first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man’s last romance.

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 :)
