"she turned to me & whispered, don't you just love it when you get so excited you forget to breathe? & the thought of her smiling eyes makes me laugh"

I know that sometimes, I'm like this girl, and I'm so excited and so in love with the world and so amazed by everything that people can't help but smile with me, and I wish, I wish that I could be that person all the time....

the quote is from a site called storypeople.com and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this guy writes!! here's some more:

-saving up a bag full of peak moments she's going to have someday if she can ever get away from all the same old stuff that's holding her back & you can pretty well guess how that's going

-she asked me when the season of joy was supposed to end & i said i didn't really think there was an exact date, so we left the tree up till June that year

-he said he was followed around by a cloud of electrons that knew what he was thinking. i've given up lying, he said & then he pointed over his shoulder. what's the point? they just go & tell everybody the truth anyway. it sounds worse than it is, he said. once you forget how to do it, you think up better things to do with your time

(and one of my all time faves)
-she said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short
