Show me the wonders of your great love

I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love.

Your voice sounds completely different in different languages. It alters your personality somehow. I don’t think people get the same feeling from you. The rhythm changes. Because the rhythm of the language is different, it changes your inner rhythm and that changes how you process everything. When I hear myself speak French, I look at myself differently. Certain aspects will feel closer to the way I feel or the way I am and others won’t. I like that—to tour different sides of yourself. I often find when looking at people who are comfortable in many languages, they’re more comfortable talking about emotional stuff in a certain language or political stuff in another and that’s really interesting, how people relate to those languages.

Without deep conversation, my mind becomes restless. I need passion and intellect, it’s a shame that a person often lacks one or the other.

Let’s be brave in our love, so that we can show others why love matters; Because important things take courage to do.

I can’t stop drinking the coffee. If I stop drinking the coffee, I stop doing the standing and the walking, and the words putting into sentence doing.

What makes a person believe they have no value? What makes them think their life has meant nothing? How can a person be so deeply and truly loved but never feel the warmth of that love? Life must be a cold place to live with no value and no love. 

On the other hand, what makes a person believe that they DO have value? What makes them think their life MEANS something? How can a person be deeply and truly loved but REFUSE to share that love with others? Life must be beautiful and warm place to live with value and love.

The questions always outnumber the answers so how are we ever supposed to figure it out? Is the answer within ourselves? Is it other people? Is it God? Is it science? Is it faith? Is it fact?

I think the answer is D. All of the above

I cannot control other people.

I cannot control God.

I cannot control science.

I cannot control mental disorders.

I cannot control cancer.

I cannot control what people believe.

BUT...

I can control myself. I can learn. I can grow.  And I can sure as hell do my best to try to understand all of the above.

If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

knowing.

when meeting new people progresses to the knowing stage, in which girl-who-bleeds-a lot and stoned dude and the token hipster stop having to do so much with their labels, but are given new adjectives of real significance.  

and when prolonged eye contact no longer is awkward, but is shared with a grin, because you are beginning to understand what the eyes mean.

Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

it’s time to stop praying for you to see me and pray to let you go, instead.

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

Agatha Christie (via greatauthorquotes)
