Keep a smile upon your face!

“My love. Am I crazy for imagining a life together? For longing to wake up next to you? I see cold mornings tangled in your arms. White bed sheets begging us to stay. I see countertops and coffee cups; tank tops and T shirts. Lazy days spent staring into oceans within your eyes. Fingertips outlining cheek bones whispering I love you. I hear your voice, slow and steady crisp in the air. Our words will not be cut short or broken. Our tongues will not be held by faulty connections. Am I crazy for spraying cologne on my pillows? For clinging to them like life support in hopes it will be you in lieu of a lifeless sack of feathers. That will be you. Your warm body pressed against mine. I feel our hearts beating the same rhythm. The rise and fall of your chest constant; deep breaths. Never have I been less afraid of falling asleep than lying next to you. Fingers interlaced like our hands were made for one another’s; You promise you won’t let me go. I imagine kissing you. Sparks flying; my ribs will not contain my heart. Time does not exist with your lips on mine, the world is at a standstill and damn, I would love to stay there forever. Am I crazy for dreaming of you getting down on one knee? For practicing saying yes? Are we crazy for falling so deep into love so quickly? For trying to make this work? I plead insane if it means yes. Call me a psychopath, schizophrenic, hysteric if you must but I am so irrevocably in love with you. You are my sweet serendipity. Til death may we part. My love.”

“The darkest nights produce the brightest stars, every heartbreak is the beginning of a new start.”

“My life was altered when I realized I deserve someone as great as myself. I deserve to be treated as grand as the miracles that perpetually breathe through me.”

“No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to others is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.”

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

“Und ob wir noch mal reden können ist leider Gottes viel zu spät. Denn ich werde nie verstehen warum das so ein Ende fand.”

“Viel zu vieles wird dir klar mit der Zeit.”

“You don’t stop loving someone just because you hate them.”

“Und irgendwann ist es dir egal, ob die Person sich meldet oder nicht. Dein Leben ging weiter, hat neue Prioritäten gesetzt und läuft auch so ganz gut, jedoch immer mit der Hoffnung auf ein Wiedersehen.”

“It is not easy to let go of people, especially when they are of kindred souls to your own. You just have to trust that however short they stayed in your life, they have fulfilled a beautiful purpose - perhaps it was to touch you softly, or to wake you up from a stupor, or to teach you a lesson of some sort. Whatever it was they came into your life for, you are never emptier for their absence. Rather, you are more whole for it. Love them while letting them go. Love them even after they are gone. And love yourself all the more for your strength.”

“She believed she could - so she did.”

“Apply for that job. Date that person. Buy that plane ticket. Move to that city. Do all the things that scare you, because they’re worth it.”

“It’s exciting when you find parts of yourself in someone else.”

“People go but how they left always stays.”

“be good to people for no reason”
