No matter what anyone could say...this is the only place for me.

So my Valentine's Day this year was filled with many firsts...we spent the day cooking a nice dinner and then had the opportunity to just spend the night eating the dinner and drinking in our feelings. I don't think I could feel any more blessed than I am right now.
We miss out on so many beautiful things
and simply because we allow ourselves
to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.
Go for the man of deeds
and not for the man of words,
for you will find rewarding happiness,
not with the man you love but the man who loves you more.
The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance,
far enough to allow the person to grow,
but never too far to feel the love deep within your being.
To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving.
It only means that you allow that person
to find his own happiness
without expecting him to come back.
Letting go is not just setting the other person free,
but it is also setting yourself free
from all bitterness, hatred, and anger
that you keep in your heart.
Do not let the bitterness take away
your strength and weaken your faith,
and never allow pain to dishearten you,
but rather let yourself grow with wisdom in bearing it.
You may find peace in just loving someone from a distance
not expecting anything in return.
But be careful, for this can sustain life
but can never give enough room for us to grow.
We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past
but real peace and happiness come only
with open acceptance of what reality is today.
There comes a time in our lives
when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful
and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person.
This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives
and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions.
The sad part of it is when we begin
to realize that this person feels nothing more for us
than just a friendship.
We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer
but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded
and we end up being sorry for ourselves.
You don't have to forget someone you love.
What you need to learn is
how to accept the verdict of reality
without being bitter or sorry for yourself.
You would be better off giving that
dedication and love to someone more deserving.
Don't let your heart run your life.
Be sensible and let your mind speak for itself.
Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well.
Always remember that if you lose someone today,
it means that someone better is coming tomorrow.
If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love.
Cry if you have to, but make it sure that the tears
wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you.
Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you.
And when it does,
pray that it may be the love
that will stay and last a lifetime.
There are two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is though everything is a miracle.
-Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
