A lover of words

“You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.”

One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.

Mark Schwahn

Success is painful If you truly want to succeed, you must stop listening to your feelings and push through the painful times. At first, everyone has a lot of motivation and does a lot, but then, halfway through, most people give up because they no longer feel like it. Don't be one of those who act according to their desires; be one of those who do things even when they don't feel like it. This way, you will achieve real success. If you only pay attention to your mood and feelings, you will start a hundred things but finish none. However, if you persevere with one thing even on tough days, you will have something perfect. And that's how success is achieved, with a vision, a bit of motivation, but fundamentally, it consists of discipline and perseverance.

My 20's are moving too fast. Everybody's so grown up now, and we all sit and talk about how life seemed to move so much slower when we were kids, lord how the world was so much bigger, and brighter back then. I've spent the last few years wondering why I think I figured it out tonight at the intersection where that kind old blind man sells his handcrafted birdhouses.

It rained all day. The roads are wet, and glowing. The stoplight illuminated the traffic lines and for a split second I swear I was 14. In the back of my moms old dodge. But then the light turned green, and I'm 22 again. Driving home from the grocery store.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the world wasn't bigger. Or brighter. It didn't move any slower. We just had so much more time to stop and appreciate the rain.

“they say young love isn’t supposed to last. but it’s been six years and you’re still all my heart talks about, all my mind thinks about. six long years and you’re the only one i wish for from every shooting star, every birthday candles, every 11:11, every wishing wells.”

“sometimes you just need to take a step back and realize how far you’ve come instead of how far left you have to go. you are going to mess up, and you are going to make mistakes and you aren’t always going to get it right. but, you are human. it happens. it’s okay.”

She loved the rain. It reminds her of the feeling of being in love. She closed her eyes and imagine her dancing with her soulmate, with classical music on and the rain falling from the window. She smiled as she imagine her future. Oh, how she loved being in love with a stranger she haven't met until now. "I'll wait for you just like how I wait for the rain," she whispered.

I pray in 2023 I am more organized, focused, driven, motivated, smarter, wealthier, and healthier. Do more things that feel fulfilling on a soul level. Alchemize every negative emotion and experience and trust it works out in my highest good. I romanticize life because the beauty we see in everything is a reflection of the beauty we see in ourself. 🍀

"We don't just 'move on.' We cannot simply untangle the sewn-together edges of our lives and call it a clean break, a clean cut. We remember the people who have touched our lives in pieces. We remember them in sunsets, in our favorite songs or the songs that we immediately skip when they sneak up on us on the radio. In the restaurant we would only visit on Thursday nights but no longer go to at all. In the way that autumn arrives suddenly with a chill but now without the borrowed jacket hanging over our shoulders to lessen it. In every new memory we create without their presence to accompany it, and likewise, in the immediate dull urge to tell them about it. Sometimes we move on while people are still in our lives, and other times we never move on despite them being undeniably out of it. But no matter when it happens, or in what way, it rarely passes quickly. Invariably, it's a slow burn. One that we find ourselves lighting with gasoline to accelerate it; the warmth of another lover, or the cool touch of solitude and comfort of memories that only live behind our eyes. So, you see, there is nothing simple about moving on. Because the task itself asks us to bury something we once loved. Something we once clung to with a white-knuckled grip. So don't just move on, move through it, move with it, move forward from it. Because if life suggested you leave something so valuable behind, there must be better things ahead."

"There are some people that come and meant to leave someday, because the time asks them to do so. But there also people, who, even the time, situation, weather, sky, and everything ask them to leave, they just don't. They might leave, physically, but their presence, remains forever in our life."

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

One day, someone is going to come into your life and change everything. Change your habits, some opinions, your favorite color, your Friday walks, your TV show. It will also change the first thought when you wake up, and the dreams of every night, it will make you improve every day, and learn the true essence of love. This same person will make your childhood nightmare change, and what was the boogeyman in the closet is now the fear of seeing her leave someday. That person will also be the reason you are here. It will make you want to introduce her to everyone, want to show her your quirks, take her to your favorite places, it will make something very beautiful and special grow in you, something you have never felt. It will make you daydream about the bus ride from the park to your house, during the shower. It will make you sigh from minute to minute, it will make you feel peace just by looking at her. This person will take your world and turn it upside down, but you won't care, you'll just find everything beautiful, like everything they do. It will make you think about the future, about building a family. Will make you always want to be your best just to please them, will want to make you on a Saturday watch a movie rerun on TV, just because the company next to you will be her. This person will make you grow, make you vibrate with every smile, and will always be there to hug you if you fall. This person will be your safe haven, the one you've always waited for. This person is the love of a lifetime

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it’s all that matters.

“The best kind of love is an emotionally mature love. A love grounded in transparent communication. The kind of love that challenges your fears in a healthy way, gently pushing you towards growth. The kind of love that believes in emotional intimacy– in mutual respect. The kind of love that cares for you in a sentimental way rather than a materialistic way. A love defined by the gift of presence not presents. The best kind of love is a love that loves your everything– a love that says, “You were meant for me.””
