"Vocation is where our greatest passion meets the world's greatest need" - Frederick Buechner
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson
There's a rhythm in rush these days Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams In a world gone shallow In a world gone lean...
I will stay with you tonight Hold you close 'til the morning light In the morning watch a new day rise We'll do whatever just to stay alive...
And I will wait for you tonight You're here forever and you're by my side I've been waiting all my life To feel your heart as it's keeping time We'll do whatever just to stay alive..
But there is a truth and it's on our side Dawn is coming open your eyes Look into the sun as a new days rise
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) "There’s a snow leopard right in this ridge. So we have to try to be very, very, ver, very still. They call the snow leopard the 'ghost cat,' it never lets itself be seen. Beautiful things don’t ask for attention." - Sean O'Connell
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.

Thank you for the nice pizza dinner! It brought my spirits up. I wish you both the best in your future from the bottom of my heart. You have showed me today, more than ever that you are both very special people and I appreciate your friendship. I know I should have cherished our friendship better but from now on, I will.
They say that "a real friend stays when everyone else leaves." Well, you have still stayed with me so thank you! Hope to see you again sometime soon.
🌏 You know you don't really like me. She is really the one who owns your heart. You can't get over her.
Now that you are here, away from her, you know, you are gathering any pieces you find here that reminds you of her. So that you can create her here, where you are so far away from her. And I know, I'm just part of that piece.
You told me I reminded you of something. You didn't tell me what, but that's alright because I think I know that it is she who I remind you of. And I rather not hear it from you right now. Because I still want to believe that it is I, who you want and not her.
It's ok if I remind you of her. But you should know that I am not her. I don't want you to compare us and make me feel like I need to be her and not myself in order to be with you.
I don't know her and you don't know how much I wish you didn't hurt for her. I can't offer you her because I can't be her. I am just me and I don't know much. But I know that I believe in you, that you will get over her someday.

All I know is that you take me high Can you tell that you drive me crazy? Cause I can't get you out my mind...
Think of you when I'm going to bed When I wake up think of you again...
I always seem to smile And people ask me how Well you're the reason why I'm dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower
La La Di, La La Da, La La Da Singing in the shower La La Di, La La Da, La La Da Singing in the shower
All I want, all I need is your loving Baby you make me hot like an oven Since you came you know what I've discovered Baby I don't need me another"ー Becky G 💛💐💛💐💛💐💛💐💛💐💛💐💛💐💛💐💛💐💛💐💛
🚿💧🚿 💧🚿💧 You have taught me that the shower is a place for emotions, a place of expression. I have sang, cried, and danced in the shower for you.
