"the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. these persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. beautiful people do not just happen."
-Elizabeth Kubler Ross

If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope. If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope. If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism, then you still have hope. If you give people the benefit of the doubt, then you still have hope. If the suffering in others still fills you with pain, then you still have hope. If you still watch love stories or want endings to be happy, then you still have hope. If you can look at the past and smile, then you still have hope. If, when faced with bad and told everything is futile, you can still look up at the end of the conversation and say "yeah, but..." then you still have so much hope. If you still offer your hand of friendship to those who have touched your life, then you still have hope. If you refuse to let a friendship die or accept that it must end, then you, very much, still have hope.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

"I think a person's life is supposed to be like a dvd. You can see the version everyone else sees, or you can choose the director's cut and see the way they wanted you to see it, before everything else got in the way. There are menus, probably, so you can start at the good spots and not have to relive the bad ones. You can measure your life by the number of scenes you've survived, or the minutes you've been stuck there."

You know, I've got this theory ; there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people.You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical.You know, all about the meaning of the song. They're the ones you see with the CD insert out like five minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Then there's the music people.. who could care less for the lyrics as long as its just got, like, a good beat and you could dance to it. I don't know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I'm not, let me just say this: sometimes things find you when you need them to find you. I believe that. And for me, it's usually song lyrics.

So fail. Be bad at things. Be embarrased. Be afraid. Be vulnerable. Go out on a limb or two or twelve and you will fall and it'll hurt.. but the harder you fall, the farther you will rise. The louder you fall, the clearer your future becomes. Failure is a gift, welcome it. There are people who spend their whole lives wondering how they became the people they became. How certain chances pass them by, why they didn't take the roads less traveled. Those people aren't you. You have front row seats to your own transformation, and in transforming yourself, you might even transform the world, and it will be electric and i promise it will be terrifying. Embrace that; embrace the new person you're becoming. This is your moment. I promise you, it is now. Now, not two minutes from now, not tomorrow, but really now. Own that; know that deep in your bones and go to sleep every night knowing that. Wake up every morning remembering that and then.. keep going.

♥

I want to be with you, I just want to be with you. If I could hold your hand for the rest of my life, I would never be scared again. I want to hold you tight & I want to tell you every second how much
you mean to me because nobody has ever meant more. I want to be able to help you & make you smile, just like you make me smile.

we cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art, because we desperately want to feel together. we want to know that we arent going crazy and that somewhere else out there, someone is feeling exactly what youre feeling. we love everything that is tied up neatly, easily, and simply but when we cant find that, it scares the hell out of us, to not know the next step, or where things are headed. being unsure is never part of our plan. but its those moments, the ones where you risk it and take a chance regardless of how vulnerable it makes us, that help us remember that life is larger than we'll ever know.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

breathe in, breathe out, its time to let him go. its hard but you can do it just never give up on yourself. you can't say your happy when all you do is cry. you can try and try but one day, trying just won't be enough. after a million tries, you'll notice that it just made things worse so stop holding on. you know NOTHING is gonna change, its like this and it will always be like this. how can you call it love when you need trust in a relationship and all you do is wonder and argue about this girl or that guy talking to you or looking at you. it isn't love anymore, its obssession. Let it all go, come on at least try. i can't promise that it won't work and i can't promise that you'll be happy right away, it honestly takes a lot of time. i can promise you that once its all said and done, you'll start brand new. you'll learn to smile and love again.it may take time but thats what you need is time. time for yourself, to work on yourself. don't let the memories or the pain stop you from being happy. if being happy is without him, then you know what to do. move on, he's one out of a million. you deserve better & you know that you have friends that love you. don't doubt youself and don't over analyze on things. when you know, you know. be optimistic and view this opportunity as a chance to see if he was really the one for you. a chance to see if you couldn't find anyone better. if you don't give yourself a chance, you'll never be able to say i tried because in reality, you didn't. your a strong individual, you have inner strength that will keep you optimistic. smile not because you have to but because you deserve to. don't waste your time crying over someone because he isn't checking on you or calling you because you don't know if you still have that spark. get it over with and don't waste you life crying over something that could've happened. be strong for yourself & you will stand out. someone is looking for you to make you happy & him, he's your prince charming. don't worry about trying to find him cause destiny will bring you together. its your Life now go out and Live it. smile, it only keeps you stronger.

Life is a dvd isn't it. It sucks when no one wants to watch the directors uncut because its boring. But sometimes they don't even give out the directors uncut.... :S And then they'll never see.

Ebony said...

I agree.
Sometimes, even, the director is so ashamed of their cut, the unedited cut, that they don't include it in the DVD.
Sometimes... the director starts to forget their version...

But it's a beautiful blog post, with thoughtful quotes and inspiring pictures. I actually loved reading it =)

Keep smiling!
