Give me a few whys

I could be the person you want me to be,
If you'd just let me.
Instead I'll be the person I want to be,
Because I'm finding out that's enough for me.

(Sigh) I needed that.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

If a picture's worth a thousand words....

then I'd say this one's worth two thousand.

Happy Best Friends Day

to my best friend

who's seen me at my best

and definitely at my worst

Thanks for always being there for me

Is this real life?

I live two different lives.

Life #1

Life #2

Both so different, separate, and opposite from eachother. Right now, I'm living life #2, and most of the time, it's my favorite one. It's a wierd feeling to go back and forth between the two, and honestly, it sometimes takes a toll on my emotional well being. When I am in one life, the other seems to hardly exist at all. People get busy, and keeping that connection simply through the phone line, or a pen and paper is hard. But, as a dear friend of mine would say, "know that leaves will fall and flowers will bloom as you and I stand where we stand."

One year ago today.

This was me one year ago today; stepping off the plane in Milan, Italy.

  

This was the best two weeks of my life, and I would pack my bags and go back tonight if I could.

I've heard it said...

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

Coincidence? I think not.

I must be the luckiest girl in the world.

It's not enough.

I love the sky most of all.
But you are more to me
than all the skies.
