There are moments that mark your life, moments when you realize nothing will ever be the same. And time is divided into two parts, before this and after this. Now sometimes you can feel such a moment coming. That’s the test… or so you should tell yourself.
You tell yourself at times like these strong people keep moving forward anyway, no matter what they’re gonna find…
Maybe some people just aren’t meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. Its like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn, and thats why they’re here… you’ll have that gift forever.
Sometimes in life you wish for everything, then there comes a moment when you stop wishing. Its not because you got what you wanted, but because you finally accepted that not all wishes can come true.
After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for paths. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… That you really are strong, And you really do have worth.
Suddenly, quietly, you realize that … from this moment forth … you will no longer pass through this world alone. Like a new sun, this awareness rises within you, freeing you from fear, opening your life.
This is the beginning of love and the end of all that came before.
Sometimes you meet someone and before you even know their name, before you know where they’re from, you know that sometime in the future this person is going to mean something to you.
People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.

You’re going to come across people in your life who will 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.
- the rescue -
What are we, after all, without our memories … without our dreams?
It is the possibility that keeps me going … and though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible.
