True happiness
is to enjoy
the present, without
anxious
dependence upon
the future,
not to amuse
ourselves
with either
hopes or fears
but to rest
satisfied
with what we
have, which
is sufficient,
for he that
is so wants
nothing.
The greatest
blessings
of mankind are within
us and within
our reach. A
wise man
is content
with his lot,
whatever it
may be, without
wishing
for what he
has not.
Not.
You are not your age
Nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight,
Or the colour of your hair,
You are not your name,
Or the dimples in your cheeks.
You are all the books you read,
And all the words you speak,
You are your croaky morning voice,
And all the smiles you try to hide,
You're the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you've cried.
You're the songs you sing so loudly,
When you know you're all alone,
You're the places that you've been to.
and the one that you call home.
You're the things that you believe in,
And the people that you love.
You're the photos in your bedroom,
And the future you dream of.
You're made of so much beauty,
But it seems that you forgot,
When you decided that you were defined,
By all the things you're not.
