You may not be his first, his last, or his only. He loved before, he may love again. But if he loves you now, what else matters?
He's not perfect -- you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together, but if he can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can.
He may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break: his heart. So don't hurt him, don't change him, don't analyze and don't expect more than he can give.
Smile when he makes you happy, let him know when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there.
editor's note: i wonder if bob marley would mind if he knew i was playing gender reassignment with his beautifully simple and quotable words? of course marley said "she," but i prefer my alternative version.
and so begins my series on real love, in all its glory and its gloom.
funny how a song comes back to you about a decade after the last time you heard it. i think that might have something to do with the importance of music during our formative teenage years, don't you?
this is an old favorite that popped into my head the other day.
also, i've decided this is what my summer will be like. how will i make that happen? i'm not yet sure.
i've just decided. and imagining is the first step on the road to realization.
and with every listen, my silly romantic heart, with its secret affinity for 90's country music, gets closer to the second step on that road to realization: expecting.
i've said it before, but it always weirds me out a bit when my horoscope is on point.
i know, when somebody is writing general predictions 365 days a year, at least a few of them are likely to line up.
The Moon's entry into your 7th House of Relationships today can shift the focus from what you are doing to observing everyone else in your life. Meanwhile, the Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune superconjunction continues to place a distortion filter between you and your partners that makes everything seem larger than life. You cannot rely on anyone else to objectively tell you what's really happening now. Stop and listen to what's in your heart.
the big dipper is right, you know. i am going through a period of reflection and quiet.
in other news, did the stars just call me a slut? "partners?" bitches, you don't know my life!
and while most of my daydreams require no explanation, this mysterious fellow just might.
i hadn't even heard of the new boyband* V Factory until my musically minded buddy ashokomo clued me in. with members like Nathaniel up there, i think this band will get some attention. they're not just pretty, though; i think they can actually dance. check out their first single here.
*is it just me, or are boybands back (all right!)? first that metro station group, then cobra starship... are we about to see the second coming of the mid-90's boyband craze?
"This. For so short a time. How can we sleep this time away?
"We can be quiet together, and pretend -- since it is only the beginning -- that we have all the time in the world."
"And every day we shall have less. And then none."
"Would you rather, therefore, have had nothing at all?"
"No. This is where I have always been coming to. Since my time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run. But now, my love, we are here, we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere."
Bren: Well, I'm a nail technician, and I think we both ought to just stick to what we know.
Technician: Excuse me?
Bren: Oh, you think you're so special because you get to play Picture Pages up there? Well, my five year old daughter could do that, and let me tell you, she's not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed. So why don't you go back to night school in Manteno and learn a real trade.
the only part of Juno that i liked. it's almost worth it, though.
You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light.
But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
if vision is the only validation then most of my life isn't real
At night, you will gaze at the stars. Where I live, everything is so small that I cannot show you where mine is. It is better like that. My star will just be one of the stars for you. So you will love looking up at them all.
A veces es imposible detener el rio de la vida.
God loves to feel things through our hands.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
What's the world's greatest lie?
It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.
And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.
When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.
i have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple garlands from window to window golden chains from star to star and i dance
Be happiness itself.
Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chosethe person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.
The truth is that with each step we take, we arrive. Repeat that to yourself every morning: 'I've arrived.' That way you'll find it much easier to stay in touch with each second of your day.
"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion."
Drink wine, this is life eternal. This, all that life can give to you. It is the season for wine, roses, and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment, This moment is your life.
I'm heaven sent, don't you dare forget. I am all you've ever wanted, what all the other boys all promised.
