"Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough."
There's so much I want to say, but by the time I get around to posting in here, I am so tired of thinking about it that I just push it out of my mind and can't really form any thoughts into words that make much sense...so here's just a bunch of quotes that I enjoy:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:
We ignore the ones who adore us, and adore the ones who ignore us.
-Anonymous
However long the night, the dawn will break.
-African Proverb
"May you live all the days of your life."
-Jonathan Swift
Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.
-Christina Georgina Rossetti
The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy.
-Jim Rohn
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
-Buddha

and a bunch of quote from Adam Duritz, because he makes things sound so beautiful:
"Fortunately, I don't get stage fright. I just get rest-of-life fright."-AD
"You don’t get my life without working for it. I earned every moment of it. Years and years of struggle. I went out and got jobs. Others got good jobs and made money and got on with their lives, and I struggled as a construction worker and a landscaper to get here. This didn’t drop out of the sky for me. I always promise my fans I’ll write honestly, so I do. If I had written an album about something else I’d have broken that promise."-AD
I feel like self-criticism should be an extraordinarily severe thing. In order to be any good, you have to be ... brutal.-AD.
"It's the sense that there's someone else totally uncontrolled by you who spontaneously cares, that lets you know you're actually there; that life's not a dream." -AD
"I want to be a great artist. I wanted to be here. I wanted to have been here."-AD

I miss feeling loved.
...I know I am loved, but I miss actually feeling it. Does that make sense?
I feel enormously guilty for feeling that way. I do not realize what I have--what I am...I just hope I will someday...
"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'"
