The book of me

"I'm not too sure where this will all end up.

My dreams. My plans. My hopes.

I cant tell you that I know what will happen.

I dont.

But what I do know is that I will remain true.

I will do what I have always done and keep

going, day by day, along this path.

And someday I will get to where I want to be.

I have faith that I am where I need to be.

I have so many ideas swirling around,

so many things I want to do and places I want to travel to.

It cant be over yet.

I'm only just beginning.

And these will be the best chapters of my book."

Always seeking

"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek

happiness. That is clear.

Whether one believes in religion or not,

whether one believes in this religion or that religion,

we all are seeking something better in life.

So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness."

-The Dalai Lama

Changing the molecules

"You changed me.

I would be a fool not to admit it.

Knowing you made me a different person.

There was no way anyone could be the same

after going through all of that.

Part of life is accepting change and growing with it.

As each minute passes we are not who we were.

We cant be.

Things change every second and so do we.

Love is about growing together.

I wanted you to be who you said you were.

But you left me cold.

Love is about honesty and trust and friendship.

And although you changed me the fundamental

basics stayed the same.

I was honest, I was open, I gave my all.

And I am willing to do it all again.

But things will be different,

I wont be with you."

Look at life

*via love bot

*via quote book

“Learn to look within yourself for appreciation and acceptance

and give yourself permission to seek a better and more fulfilling

life every day. It is not in how others treat you that can make

a difference in your life, but it is in how you treat yourself.”

“Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter

where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way

it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow

with each choice you make. Everything is worth it.

Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.”

the balloon

"One day I will be the balloon that floats away,

over trees, over mountains and through the sky.

I will be as light as air and as free as the wind

that gently guides my course.

Then all of a sudden, without warning, I will

drop back down to earth.

I will be ripped apart, abandoned by the very air

that started this whole journey.

And there I shall remain until completely

disintegrated by time."

journey

"The sun rises and then a little later it sets and in that one day,

one rotation of the earth, it feels like I have lived a lifetime.

So much has changed and yet many things are still the same.

I am on a journey, my life journey, and I am learning

new things every day.

I will never accept less than that."

Travels

"It is a dangerous business, going out of your door.

You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet,

there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."

*Bilbo says to Frodo in Lord of the Rings.

Sunrise

There are no mistakes in life, there is a lesson in every test.

Over the next hill is a brilliant sunrise waiting just for you.

All you have to do is breathe, believe and take that leap of faith.

The unknown can be scary but what is life without risks?

Steps

Sometimes you dont know if you are following the right path.

The way isnt always clear.

You just have to be true to yourself and keep going.

We all make mistakes and we all question our beliefs some time.

And in times of doubt there is no shame in stepping back to make

sure that the path you are on is the right one for you.
