The
happiest people are those who think the most interesting
thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental
development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good
company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world.
And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of
happiness in others.
I’m
not interested in your past, I’m interested about what
makes you tick, what makes you angry, what keeps you sane - tell
me those things. You have my undivided attention. People waste so
much time on reputation that they simply forget that you
aren’t the same person who did those things back then, this
is you. This is now… I want to watch you happen in this
single moment now. Everything else is time
wasted.
Don’t you see? The things we once loved do not change,
only our belief in them… You are left with the only
things that any of us have in the end. The things we keep
inside of ourselves, that grow out of us, that tell us who we
are.
"A woman who wants to be
treated like a Queen can neither like nor ask a man to go down on
his knees to propose his love for her; because upon bowing down
before her by him, he will then never be respected as King by the
intelligent people as the prestige of an emperor is measured
always by his capacity & capability to stand on his two feet.

today, my 91 year old aunt said this to me: "I really like your
boyfriend he is a great guy and you should never let him go. he
makes you so happy-everytime you talk about him your face shines
and your smile is huge." today, one of my best friends since middle
school said this to me: "You have a really good thing ya know..
don't f**k it up" its so reassuring to know that my family and
friends accept and like my boyfriend the way i do.
find someone who doesn't just celebrate the big things,
like birthdays and anniversaries, but the little things too, like
your favorite tv show returning or finding five dollars on the
street. find someone who celebrates life in every form.
