The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning.
Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt (via first-line)
You can’t always be somebody’s ‘forever’.
Sometimes you’re just their ‘summer’ or their ‘little while’ ….
Sometimes not even that. Sometimes the closest you’ll get is their ‘almost’ or their ‘maybe’
And when they leave, the best you can hope for is to be their ‘what if’ or ‘remember when’…
Because you can’t always be somebody’s 'forever’…. even if they were yours.
It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself.

Nothing is more attractive to a girl than someone who has their shit together. Do well in school, work hard at your job, make that money, read a book and be good to the ones that are good to you. These are just a few things that will expand your mind, body and soul. They will lead to a better you and will bring up your confidence, intellect and heart. Not only will make you a better you but it will bring you a better life. Time for us to makes some big moves.

Time helps. It’s slow and it’s painful, but it works.Talking helps. Going out with other people, seeing friends. And she’ll be like a book you read long ago.
You think that’s possible?
If you trust that if it’s meant to be, then it will be again. And if it’s not, you will wake up one day and realize that you haven’t even thought of her once.
And then you’ll be free.

I am happy when I eat fresh fruit, when I burst out laughing, when I discover a new song, when I finish a good book, when I wake up and feel relaxed. I’m glad to have friends, family, a home, food when I’m hungry, hot water when I shower. I love being able to live and see the seasons change, to have gifts at Christmas and at my birthday, to travel sometimes, to have a good education and a great access to culture. I’m flattered when people compliment me, when people smile at me, when people are polite to me. There are so many things that make life so simple and easy and I will always think about them more than all the bad things that will happen to me. I do not have time to be sad every day and ungrateful ; I have every reason in the world to be happy.

- Me: *walks down the aisle @my wedding carrying a pile of books*
- The groom: What is this?
- Me: It says "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." This is the oldest book I have. And this other one I bought yesterday. The third one I borrowed from a friend. And the fourth one is blue. Do you have any better ideas?
