Driving home tonight after dropping Christina off was fairly nice until a familiar song from the fall came on the radio.. the euphoric recall was immeasurable .. it was bittersweet - as nothing about this fall was easy and picking up the pieces of the summer's broken chaos carved hollows in our chests and brought tears melding with breaths sucked ragged into our lungs .. yet .. everything in my being - reverberated longing through my soul. I wanted so badly to claw my way back in. It sounds insane yet I have this feeling I'm not the only one who has similar feelings visit from time to time..
I feel more alive without a prescription to mend my heart,my head, my soul.. yet I am so on the fence. If I refill it I can return to a complacent life .. yet one that fails to register much pain.. one that does not allow for tears. Can I have meaningful joy without true sorrow?
Can you?
Maybe . . . We were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe . . . When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.
Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe . . The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.
Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a love, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.. and that will be good enough
Maybe ... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.
Maybe ... you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe . . . giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.
Maybe... You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; don't go for wealth; even that fades away! Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile
Maybe . . You should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to the fullest because when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling but when you die, you can be the one who is smiling as everyone around you is crying
I know I don't have to be.. I know I'm not.. but sometimes things hurt, burn, and twist in a way that makes me feel as if I am all alone.. always have been alone.. and will always be alone.
