the keeper

you were like a dream,

i wish i hadn't 

slept through.

within it i fell deeper, 

than your heart would 

care to let you. 

i thought you were a keeper, 

i wish i could 

have kept you.

                             -lang leav

When nothing is sure,

everything is possible. 

NTS:

always

you were you,

i was i;

we were two,

before our time.

i was yours,

before i knew;

and you have always

been mine too.

                                   - Lang Leav

the fault in our stars

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.

A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”

how are you?

"How I am right now is this: terrified of the future. I pretend everything will work out, because recognizing the implausibility of reaching the traditional adult milestones I once believed were givens is enough to paralyze me completely. It’s overwhelming.
I’m overwhelmed."

RIP Steve Jobs

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that only thing that keep me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for you work as it is for your lovers.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.

As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

- Steve Jobs, 1955-2011

funny how it makes sense:

"In my next life I want to live backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people’s home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then, Voila! You finish off as an orgasm! I rest my case. "

— Woody Allen

Everything in life is temporary. So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry.

It can't last forever either.

Sometimes,

life is too ironic to be fully understood. It takes sadness to know what happiness is. Noise to appreciate silence. And absence to value presence.

Norwegian Wood

"Nobody likes to be alone.
I just hate to be disappointed."

We are all in the gutter,
but some of us are looking at the stars.
- Oscar Wilde

"when you drop a glass or a plate on the ground,
it makes a loud crashing sound. when a window shatters,
a table leg breaks, or when a picture falls off the wall,
it makes a noise. but as for your heart, when that breaks,
it's completely silent. you would think as it's so important
it would make the loudest noise in the whole world,
or even have some sort of ceremonious sound
like the gong of a symbol or the ringing of a bell.
but it's silent and you almost wish there was a noise
to distract you from the pain. "

the amazing moments in life;

1. coming home late and going straight to bed
2. buying amazing clothes that you found on sale
3. holding hands
4. unexpected moments that become your favourite memories
   
5. talking on phone till five in the morning
6. resting on someones chest
7. taking long showers that wash away your worries
8. feeling as though you finally belong somewhere
9. deciding what you want to do with your life
10. feeling satisfied after a delicious meal
11. falling asleep instantly when you're upset
12. meeting people who happen to change your life
13. when you have a great night of sleep
14. drinking a cup of tea
15. realizing everything is going to be okay
    

contentment

Be thankful for what you have;
you'll end up having more.
If you concentrate on what you don't have,
you will never, ever have enough.

"Close your eyes,
clear you heart,
let it go. "

if,

If you could go back and change just one thing about your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Would you choose an entirely different path? Or would you change just one thing? Just one moment? One moment you always wanted back?

Sometimes,

the heart doesn’t know what it wants until it finds what it wants.
