The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.

QuoteAudrey Hepburn

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What’s it look like? If it’s with him, go. I lost you once, I think I can do it again if I thought that’s what you really wanted. But don’t you take the easy way out.

I’m just wondering, does it hurt you to look at all the places we’ve been? Do you get that tiny smile that tugs at your lips for one, small, insignificant instant and then it disappears as quickly as it came as the realization of what we have become hits you? I’m just wondering, does it hurt you when you are nearing that spot near the stairs, or the doorway, or that room where we used to stand together? Do you visualize my figure waiting there for you, only to discover that when you reach for it, I’m nowhere in sight? I’m just wondering, does it hurt you to know that I’m afraid to talk to you? What do I say to someone who has hurt me, confused me, and broken me beyond measures but whom I still love more than words can express? I’m just wondering, does it hurt you when my eyes meet yours and then dart quickly away? Does it bother you when I look at you with no expression and turn and walk the other way? I’m just wondering, does it hurt you to know that every time I see you I feel like crying? That when I see your face something inside of me dies just a little bit more, or when I see you frown I want more than anything to kiss your pain all away, I’m just wondering… wondering how you are feeling… wondering if you are hurting too…

There will be times that you would curse the rain for coming into you life, but God created the rain to nourish dry lands… to relieve the fever of the frail Earth.. and for you to appreciate your sunshine.
You might hate the rain for its unexpected arrival but it was created as a manifestation of love.

All I really want is someone that’s gonna keep their promises, listen to me babbling or enjoy a comfortable silence with, someone to call when I get scared, someone to laugh at my mistakes, and someone to grab me when I walk away. Is that too much to ask for?

My heart didn’t break into a thousand pieces after he left. Instead, I realized all the things he didn’t do. He didn’t want to hear my stories. He didn’t ask me questions. He didn’t smile when I was talking to him. he didn’t hug me out of the blue to make me feel good. His hugs were always a preamble to something else and after he was gone, I wondered if he ever knew me at all.
