Have you ever finished reading a book and known right away that it was your favorite? I've read a lot of books I loved; The Perks of Being a Wallflower, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, endless amounts of chick lit... I recently bought two books by Mitch Albom, the five people you meet in heaven and tuesdays with morrie. I loved Tuesdays with Morrie. Its an amazing book, it really is. I look at many things differently now. My relationships, how I treat people, how petty some things I obsess and worry about really are, how little time we have to waste on grudges and arguments. What I took from this book was that to love and trust one another is all we've got in this world. Without the ability to love, forgive, and accept things as they come we have nothing. If you wish to borrow it from me, I would be happy to lend you my copy. If you have the chance to read it, I encourage you to do so.
"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."
"Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
