lost in the day

even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth "you owe me." look at what happens with a love like that...it lights the whole sky.

crocus

I could be making a huge mistake right now.


"In the midst of the discussion, a peasant who by banking standards was completely ignorant said: 'Now I see that without man there is no world.' When the educator responded: 'Let's say, for the sake of argument, that all the men on earth were to die, but that the earth itself remained, together with trees, birds, animals, rivers, seas, the stars...wouldn't all this be a world?' 'Oh no,' the peasant replied emphatically. 'There would be no one to say: 'This is a world.' ' "


I want action. Your words have been empty for so long. I need to feel it again, I need to know you're there, I need to know that I can move forward, and that you want to help me do that. Employ praxis. Remind me what a flower is.

Realization: the world is full of dreamers when it comes to love.

pros/cons - take 2

- 3,097 miles

+"there is nothing like a dream to create the future"

- promises (specifically when they aren't fulfilled)

+ "I don't want to go...I don't want to leave again."

- "from a distance you look like my friend, even though we are at war. from a distance, I can't comprehend..."

+ the past (not recent)

- the fact that the future used to be a pro.

+ the pictures from my wall.

- the pictures in my head

+ the song

- "hate is easy. love takes courage."

"Do what makes you happy"

"It really is so much more important to be happy than to hold a grudge"

"Love prevails everything"

"Most of all, over any sort of logic and reason, I felt like saying no would be one of the biggest regrets I'd ever have."
Life's for livin' child, can't you see?
