You’re going to come across people in your life who say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.
Sometimes the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people.
You are, and always have been, my dream.
Stick two different people with two different sets of expectations under one roof and it ain’t always going to be shrimp and grits on Easter.
Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn’t make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.
Proximity bred familiarity, and familiarity bred comfort.
Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can’t get any better, it will.
It’s hard at times, but it makes a kid strong in ways that most people can’t understand. Teaches them that even though people are left behind, new ones will inevitably take their place; that every place has something good—and bad—to offer. It makes a kid grow up fast.
I tell myself that I know you, and then when I think about it, I realize that I don’t.
When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through.
There are winds of destiny that blow when we least expect them. Sometimes they gust with the fury of a hurricane, sometimes they barely fan one’s cheek. But the winds cannot be denied, bringing as they often do a future that is impossible to ignore.
Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.
