Please leave format credit to 1986! A great sorrow, and one that

A great sorrow, and one that I am only beginning to understand: we don’t get to choose our own hearts. We can’t make ourselves want what’s good for us or what’s good for other people. We don’t get to choose the people we are.

"I babysat this six year old, and I was wearing shorts today.. and my scars were showing, I guess. He poked them and he said, "I know how those got there." I replied, "How?" He looked at me with a straight face and he said, 'I've seen them before. My big sister had them, and she said mean people put them on your body when they weren't nice to you, because when people are mean to you, you end up being mean to yourself. My big sister went away. I don't know where she went. Mommy said she's on a happy vacation somewhere, because she was too sad here. I miss her. Don't go on a vacation, please.'"
I think old fashioned is cute. I think kisses on the cheek & forehead, actual dinner dates and asking someone out in person is a lot more romantic. I don't think the guy should always make the first move, but I feel as if it's cuter if the guy asks out the girl rather than the other way round because it's been like that for so long. I liked it when the guy actually valued their girlfriend and called her 'sweetheart' instead of 'babe'.
a lot of my life has been realizing that i would cross oceans for people who wouldn't jump puddles for me
i was on tumblr and i just saw a picture of a woman with a poem tattooed onto her want to know why that's special? I wrote that poem and posted it on tumblr six months ago. my poetry impacted her to the point where she wanted to have it permanently on her skin. it will be with her forever; when she gets married, it will be there, when she has children, it will be there. it meant that much to her. and i am speechless.
