because I have finally come to terms with reality...

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-- Mark Twain

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
--Meredith Grey

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
--The Little Prince

Revenge gets you even with your enemy, forgiving him puts you above him
--from patrick

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining,
I believe in love even when feeling it not,
I believe in God even when He is silent...
--Zvi Kolitz "Yosl Rakover Talks to God"

When you're 22 and single
people tend to question you
When you're 22 and still
a student
people tend to quantify you
but if you're anything
like me
even if you're 22
and all of the above
it doesn't matter
because right now
all that matters is that
being in the crossroads
would soon be finally over
and decisions
would soon be made.
Hope is back
in life
and everything would
fall into place.
