life happens to us.. the only certainty in all of it is that is just keeps happening
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Right now I want a word that describes the feeling that you get—a cold sick feeling, deep down inside—when you know something is happening that will change you, and you don’t want it to, but you cant stop it. And you know, for the first time, for the very first time, that there will now be a before and an after, a was and a will be. And that you will never again quite be the same person you were.
Jennifer Donnelly, A Northern Light (via simply-quotes)

SARAH KAY performs “A LOVE LETTER …” (via speakeasynyc)
Sarah Kay is really amazing in how she portrays love from a tooth brush to a bicycle tire. My other favorites by her are “Hands” and “Private Parts”.
“In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive, right? And at the end of life, when you get like me, you need others to survive, right?” His voice dropped to a whisper. “But here’s the secret: in between, we need others as well.” -Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie
I believe in pink, I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. - Audrey Hepburn
We have all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the power we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.-HP & The Order of Phoenix
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

I know most people say that people aren’t really friends forever, and that people change… and I know that is true. Really, I do. But, for as long as we possibly can, let’s try to prove that theory wrong, ok? I can’t imagine not ever being able to pick up the phone and talk to you. You keep me sane, you remind me that no matter what’s changed, there are some things that remain… and those things are what I cherish. -Hollie Seals
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. After all, what’s a life anyway? We’re born, we live, we die. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to life up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that. -Charlotte’s Web
The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don’t. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself -Sex & the City
