“That the people you love can surprise you every day. That maybe who we are isn’t so much about what we do, but rather what we’re capable of when we least expect it.”

“When you will not fly into a passion, people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn’t said afterward. There’s nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in — that’s stronger.”

You know you have compassion, when you cry, not because something is sad, but because you can’t bear the thought of someone in pain. You know you have faith, when everything if taken away from you, but still believe. You know you have true love, when you’re in your dying moment, and you wish that your beloved would forgive you for the troubles you have caused them....

“I’d made a list in my notebook of all the things I missed about him. The way he wrinkles his nose when he’s thinking was one. How he holds things was another. But now I needed to talk to him for real and no list would substitute. I stood by the phone while my stomach turned itself inside out. During the time I waited, a whole species of butterfly may have become extinct, or a large...

“When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn’t need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that’s just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it’s just what you’ve been searching...

“The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them—words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a...
Faith
Today in church a catechumen was sharing about how he faithfully attended mass, sharing, monday sessions and could relate very well with whatever was said and communicated to him. He was very at peace with his current being and direction with regards to his faith but did feel that his “inner self” was not really responding to all the hullabaloo around him. It bothered him, and I could...

“I stay up all night thinking about the decisions that changed my life. All the people that I have met because I made one little suggestion. It brought many close friendships, countless road trips, and finding someone to care about. You make your own path to follow in life but make sure it’s one that you can live with.”

3075) We love, we lost. You are the person who brought me here. You let me fall without holding onto me, it’s okay, i’m up standing again. I’m not going to blame you because this isn’t your fault okay. I just want you to be happy. That’s all i want. I can go on pretending but you HAVE to be happy ok? I love you, always.

“Because street lights and stop signs are all that distance means. Freeways and free days are heaven to me. Love is a behavior, not a feeling. It’s the way somebody treats you, everyday, all day. Not just when their life is going well.”

“Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you.”

In the Land of Women
There’s a big fucking world out there. It’s messy, and it’s chaotic, and it’s never, it’s never ever the thing you’d expect. It’s ok to be scared, but you cannot allow your fears to turn you into an asshole, not when it comes to the people that really love you, the people that need you.
