the distant dreamer

Quiet people have the loudest minds.

It’s not about who you’ve been with. It’s about who you end up with. Sometimes the heart doesn’t know what it wants, until it finds what it wants.

Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up, they will know the value of things, not the price.

I hope you find a man who doesn’t just give you flowers and calls you beautiful, I hope you find a man who visits your family when you’re homesick. I hope he goes with you to see your sick grandma in the hospital, I hope he gives you space when you need to be alone and grace when you are not patient with him. I hope you find a good man, one who will love you for who you are and not what you can give. I hope that you find someone who will cherish and respect you, opening your heart to new and good things. I hope you find a man who makes you forget all the other men, who gives you hope in something more. I hope you find the courage to be willing to wait for something solid instead of something flashy, because when you’ve found that one good man, I know he’ll light up the stars to see you smile.
