who do.”

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell
them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want
to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved
and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to
tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when
you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make
you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself
that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet
calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because
they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk
become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back
and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter
seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day
helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no
need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that
never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so
special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them
to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing
that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that
you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true
pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul
mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only
hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley


“If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.”
― Malcolm X


“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

throbbing moment.”

you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so

― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But
the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it
anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're
your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for
lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them
are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate.
You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once,
doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in
yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most
importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe
