The
most bittersweet of emotions is to miss something/one. You have that
great memory, that wistfulness. But really, that's all you have.
It
is sort of like being in a fog. You know you're there, you know people
are there. You can call out, and they hear you. But you can't really
see them, can't really feel them. And they.. they can't really see you,
too.
The more you say, the less people remember.
It
takes so little to change a person's opinion, no matter how stubborn.
It could be love, environment, news, a respected friend. But really,
nothing is set in stone.
Sometimes its more important in life not to feel strong, but to just be strong.
People
always tell me I'm a good person, but I've done NOTHING to deserve such
a strong statement. Then today, I remembered how I work so hard, and I
spend all of that on friends and family - to make them happy. Its ALL
that drives me. I gu...ess once you set your priorities straight, its easy to work toward your goals. Its a win-win.
Have
you ever analyzed a situation and found that no matter how deep you
dug, every conclusion you came to sounded so contrived? At the root, it
seems that the only way you find anything is to realize you have
absolutely no control.
I
don't understand pride, or anger, or elitism. In the end, we are all
the same - we're all looking for happiness. Maybe if more people
understood that, more people would actually find it.
I'm
glad that I got braces and put on weight. Its made me more humble;
grossly starved my ego when people no longer looked or gave
compliments. So when both are taken off, I'll be beautiful again, but
so will my heart. Its funny what a change in your looks can do.
It may be raining; but there's a rainbow coming.
There
are only two things you can ever know about people: What you want to
see, and What they want to show you. You can never REALLY know a person.
Is contentment really the final form of happiness?
In three words, I can sum up everything about life: It goes on.
Time
heals all wounds.. Or makes it seem that way so that when suddenly the
wound is revisited, one gets a very unpleasant, messy surprise. Is it
possible to ever truly deal with, get over, and move on from pain so
that when an issue is brought up, you genuinely feel nothing (negative)?
When is
it ever about what you really do and how much you put into it - because
it seems its more about the impression you give more than anything
else? People's assumptions are the reality.
I think
people mistake attraction for love. Yes, over time, looks may not
matter - because one is attracted to something else; friendship,
emotional or financial security, familiarity, consistency. Or maybe
even addicted to the predictability of some...one
who gets you too. But love? You can only test love with pain - losing
someone, letting go, doing the right thing... So why do we even chase
love?
Dating
is truly a chore. Maybe that's why when people fall in love, they want
to do everything fast, everything now. Now marriage, now separation.
And we see, and we envy, but really, they are as desperate as us - they
want to believe what we th...ink
we believe they have (love) - because innately, they know that feeling
won't last. And then, we, they; us - we're all back to square one. All
chasing that same feeling.
Its so much easier to feel lonely among a human mass than when you're actually alone.
