Funny Quotes 1) You grow up the day you have your first real laugh-at yourself. 2) I am ready to meet the Creator. Whether the Creator is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter. 3) By persistantly remaining single a woman converts herself into a permanate public temptation. (lol)

Haunted by what remains...this city, these places the walls scream her name
6.5 years of a life built for two disappears in a breathe of love forgotten through distance between us.
Intimacy gone - I guess that happens when you're thousands of miles away from each other
You had to work I get it, but what was left behind was the story of US
knowing it is for the best and meant to be - avails me nothing when my heart cries out for you-is it you? Or the idea of you?
Picking up the pieces, moving on, stumbling...
Days go by silent with progress, then in the quiet the memory sneaks in and rips out my breath. The tears then flow with a deep ache from my gut, I CRY OUT "MAKE IT GO AWAY, someone, please..."
I crawl up onto the floor with my dog-I long the warmth of contact I long to be held to be heard, comforted.
50 days gone by 50 days with ME.

Hang in there! It's a rough road sometimes but remember to let the little whispers fill your heart up when things get dark. You choose the path and I know you will find that comfort and intimacy again. We all stumble but we will heal as we replace the pieces that have fallen with something deeper of ourselves.

It's kind of funny...the moments on which life hinges. I think growing up you always imagine your life--your success--depends on your family and how much money they have, where you go to college, what sort of job you can pin down, starting salary...But it doesn't, you know. You wouldn't believe this, but life hinges on a couple of seconds you never see coming. And what you decide in those few seconds determines everything from then on...

In keeping with the 'love' theme....

I will love you as a thief loves a gallery and as a crow loves a murder, as a cloud loves bats and as a range loves braes. I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong. I will love you as a battlefield loves young men and as peppermints love your allergies, and I will love you as the banana peel loves the shoe of a man who was just struck by a shingle falling off a house. I will love you as a volunteer fire department loves rushing into burning buildings and as burning buildings love to chase them back out, and as a parachute loves to leave a blimp and as a blimp operator loves to chase after it.

I will love you as a dagger loves a certain person’s back, and as a certain person loves to wear dagger proof tunics, and as a dagger proof tunic loves to go to a certain dry cleaning facility, and how a certain employee of a dry cleaning facility loves to stay up late with a pair of binoculars, watching a dagger factory for hours in the hopes of catching a burglar, and as a burglar loves sneaking up behind people with binoculars, suddenly realizing that she has left her dagger at home. I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp, and as a gasping person loves a glass of brandy to calm their nerves, and as a glass of brandy loves to shatter on the floor, and as the noise of glass shattering loves to make someone else gasp, and as someone else gasping loves a nearby desk to lean against, even if leaning against it presses a lever that loves to open a drawer and reveal a secret compartment. I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world. I will love you until all the codes and hearts have been broken and until every anagram and egg has been unscrambled.

~Lemony Snicket

Hatred paralyzes life; Love releases it.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.

~John Ciardi

StrongButch · 01-22-2013, 08:17 AM

1) Dont judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. 2) I have found if you love life, life will love you back. 3) Dont ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go out and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
