today...i will let others speak. =) i don't know where i find these things, but i swear, i get giddy every time i read something worth reading twice...or more~
"Sounds like you need a vacation. We all want to give up our responsibilities and still have the freedom to do whatever we want. Your attraction to bad, selfish guys simply is another way you admire their lack of responsibility to anyone because they act and think completely selfishly. You think they can live their care-free lives without consequences, but in truth you know there is always a price to pay for the behavior you choose, and the life you live.
You think life after 25 is all about work and play and fun no longer exists the same way. It can't exist the same way, otherwise you can never move forward or ahead towards better things. Relationships and careers and happiness itself has to evolve with the times. You have to let your experiences show you what you want rather than what is missing in your life. If you want to be bad, be bad, just don't be afraid when people judge you by your actions. You crave the fearlessness of impulsive behavior, but fearlessness is not courage. Courage is being able to stop yourself from doing something you'll regret, no matter how tempting."
...."there are a billion people in the world, and without having someone, you would be insignificant, and your life would pass by unnoticed and be meaningless. but with marriage, you have someone to witness every moment of your life whether it be good, bad, or mundane...someone is there to share it with you."
"After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman,
Not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
In stead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth,
and you learn and learn...
With every good bye you learn."
i think i could probably substitute just a couple words and change the overall tone of that last poem. not everything in life has to do with romantic love, after all, though it certainly has its own place.
also, i feel really strange today. like lightheaded, all the time...must be something in the air...!
