‘What’ and ‘if’ are two words as non-threatening as words can be, but put them together side by side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.

Letters to Juliet

a while

it’s a measure of time. of some sorts. it’s a mayhem when urgency pushes your heart to the brink of an explosion, awaiting a relief that will not come “for a while”. 

but whiles are just seconds. they can’t be stopped. they come and go. there’s always a second that goes by each time you exhale.

so remember this, Jake, a while is never a lot. not really. 

and after a while things fall into place. 

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.
So, love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don’t.
And believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it; if it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said that it would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.

Dear Jake,

Life likes taking us by surprise. You never know when or how. I guess that’s why they call it a surprise :)

Hang on to it until it gets delivered to you. Life itself is a gift.

It is not what we do in the sight of others that defines us, it is merely our solitary thoughts that qualify us to us, that advocates to our souls the right to serene dreams. And nothing else matters, since in our dreams we are truly the only counciousness.

this is for jake

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

Mark Twain

you’re the truth

when you look around and search for the perfect answer, or solution or simply a path to take for the next few miles, sometimes you forget that everything lays dormant within you.

look inside, take a tour of your heart and the right step to take will shine like a waypoint on a map.

15 Notes

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
