its been a really long time since ive used this. and i dont really know what compelled me to start again.
i'm very confused. very lost and dont understand myself. i made a horrible decision this weekend. one that has made me realize that nothing is more important than love and if you are lucky enough to have it, don't let it go.
Right now I am reading an amazing book called Tuesdays With Morrie. It's absolutely inspiring and there are two quotes from it that i would like to share with you:
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in... Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, ‘Love is the only rational act.’ ”
"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.”
Finally I'd like to share a quote said by Allen Ginsberg. This was given to me in my post war class and i find it a truly beautiful thing to live by: "Make friends with yourself, and your own gang, fall in love, and enjoy the pain and the pleasure."
Last night I watched Keeping the Faith. I forgot how great that movie was. It's one of my favorites. I think I just need to believe. In myself, and in others. I need to always fight for what I believe, and never make the mistake of hurting the people I love most. Including myself.
Maybe, someday, it will all be understood. And not so painful anymore.
