Still, there are times I am bewildered by each mile I have traveled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination.

Jhumpa Lahiri (Interpreter of Maladies)

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire. The other is to gain it.

George Bernard Shaw

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly. - Plotinus

I dont wanna be the one to say goodbye

but I will, I will, I will

I dont wanna sit on the pavement while you fight

but I will, I will, oh yes I will

'cos maybe, in the future your gonna come back, your gonna come back around

maybe in the future your gonna come back, your gonna come back

the only way to really know, is to really let it go

maybe, your gonna come back, your gonna come back, your gonna come back to me

I dont wanna be the first to let it go,

but I know, I know, I know

if you are the last hands that i want to hold,

then I know I've got to let them go

'cos maybe, in the future your gonna come back, your gonna come back around

maybe in the future your gonna come back, your gonna come back

the only way to really know, is to really let it go

maybe, your gonna come back, your gonna come back, your gonna come back to me

I still feel you on the right side of the bed

I still feel you in the blankets pulled over my head

I'm gonna wash away, i'm gonna wash away everything

'till you come home to me

Maybe - Ingrid Michaelson

"Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted."

- Sylvia Plath

"All things splendid have been achieved by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance...” – Bruce Barton

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” – Buddha

You've been acting awful tough lately

smoking a lot of cigarettes lately

but inside, your just a little baby

oh

It's okay to say you got a weak spot

you don't always have to be on top

better to be hated, than loved loved loved for what your not

your vulnerable, your vulnerable

you are not a robot

your loveable, so loveable

but your just trouble

Guess what

I'm not a robot, a robot

Guess what,

I'm not a robot, a robot

You've been hanging with the unloved kids

who you never really liked and you never trusted

but you are so magnetic

pick up all your pins

Never committed to anything

don't pick up the phone when it ring ring rings

don't be so pathetic

just open up and sing

I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable

I am not a robot

your loveable, so loveable

but your just trouble

Can you teach me how to feel real

I Am Not A Robot - Marina and the Diamonds

and why can't you just hold me

and how come it is so hard

and why do I still care

and do you like to see me broken

you say you see the light out of this narrow hole

I wish it didn't matter

I wish i didnt give you all

poor little misunderstood baby

no one likes a sad face

but I cant remember life without him

I think I did have good days

I think I did have good days...

Just Hold Me - Maria Mena
