Your Girl is lovely Hubbell

When I was 21 I read “Anna Karenina.” I thought Anna and Vronsky were soul mates. They were deeply in love and therefore had to be together. I found Karenin cruel and oppressive for keeping his wife from her destiny. Levin and Kitty and the peasants bored me. I read those parts quickly. Last year I turned 49, and I read the book again. This time, I loved Levin and Kitty. I loved the fact that after she declined his proposal he waited for a long time to mend his hurt feelings and then asked her again. I loved that she had grown up in the interim and now felt grateful for a second chance. Anna and Vronsky bored me. I thought Anna was selfish and shrill. My heart went out to poor Karenin, who tried to be decent. What has literature taught me about love? Literature (along with experience) has taught me that love means different things at different points in our lives, and that often as we get older we gravitate toward the quieter, kinder plotlines, and find them to be richer than we had originally understood them to be.

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star then your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics; you are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all things that matter for evolution at the start of life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars are kind enough to explode…. The stars exploded so that you could be here today.

it’s beautiful to want yourself. every bit of yourself that they couldn’t love. don’t wait on them to shower you with the magic you deserve.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

the best way to heal, is to love yourself. soak in your own warmth for some time. enjoy your own company. take time to learn your scars.

to the woman with an old soul; your way of thinking, is appreciated. your way of feeling, is appreciated. your way of being, is appreciated. don’t let them whisper lies in your ears - the way your mind works is not outdated, it’s beautiful. your undying wisdom of the world and the way it dances, your appreciation for art and literature, your hopeless romanticism and faith in the concept of love, darling, you’re walking poetry, and you don’t even know it. your rib cage is made out of piano keys, your heart is a drum, and they make a unique melody that only few will understand. they tell stories of a woman that has seen so much, felt so much, been so much, evolved, but still moves to her own rhythm. whether life forced you to grow up too fast, or you’re carrying on from where you left off in a previous lifetime, to the woman with an old soul, you’re beautiful, and you’re appreciated.
