So I would choose to be with you
As if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break…

AH. It’s just. so. perfect.

Beautiful post, dearie. I love you, tons and tons.

Via the title of the post, the song that came to my mind is Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight", and the lyrics to that are also applicable. "Believe in me, as I believe in you, tonight." i love that song! .-= nicopolitan´s last blog ..Get Through Monday (Lesson 4) =-.

I don’t think past relationship are ever a waste of time. Whether they were successful or not, they molded the person you are today.

yes, and that’s not a bad thing.

The most beautiful thing to offer another human being in a relationship is wholeness. Not perfection. Not dependence. Wholeness. I am who am. Can I be loved for being who I am?
At one point, 30, divorced, childless, I wondered. I sometimes thought “I must be unlovable.”
I was wrong.
Not only was there a man who could love me just as I am, but I discovered the people, my friends, who would love me no matter what.
That room is a big, gorgeous skyline apartment with a desirable view of the world. It’s all yours. What you do with it, how you decorate it, will be your journey to wholeness.
I refused to be a “fixer upper” someone settled for. I became the person I wanted to be–flawed, imperfect, still journeying to being a better person.
I have faith in you and I can’t wait to see what you do with that big, gorgeous room you’ve got.

Thanks, lady. I love you.

Dear Very Bad Cat,
Here are some wise words from Maya Angelou.
I just wanted to say that you have starch in your backbone and you are an elegant butterfly.
Read on, the rest of the words are Maya’s but I think they pertain to you.
Thank you for sharing your story in such a wise way, thank you for singing your song.
Keep on singing.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”.
“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”

“Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman”

“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”
“The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style”

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

“Courage: the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.”
“If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?”

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”
“Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!”
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”

“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels, lifes a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.”

“I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.”
“Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.”

“The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise. ”
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. ”

“Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.”

Thanks for this. It really made my morning. I don’t know who you are, but I think I love you.
