SING FOR THE MOMENT

I try my best in life. I treat people how I want to be treated. When I am able to help someone~ I help them. I donate to charity on a regular basis. I do not push my beliefs on others, but I am open to speak about them with anyone. I believe in equal rights, no discrimination, peace, and love. I will stand up for what I believe in, but I will not take a life to convince others to take my side. I believe in LOVING EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. I RESPECT OTHERS. I do not judge people; whether it is on their appearance or the background they come from. I do not indulge myself is worldly items. I believe in thanking God for what I do and no not have: What I was raised with helped make me who I am. I believe in friendship, even to those I do not know exist. I believe in change. I believe in others. I believe in fate. I believe there is still hope. I believe there are spirits that guide us, and a God who loves us, and his son who died for us.

But f-ck who you want, and f-ck who you like
Dance our life, there’s no end in sight.

It is true that you are only young once. So take the opportunity to go on adventures with the ones you love.

When the world turns upside down, you have two options. 1: Don’t let the world change you. 2: Turn upside down with it.

What we wear isn’t the only thing that tells a story about us; how we move tells a life-time of novels. Dance your way through life; is there any other way to move?

Why wont you love me?

(via natamort)

Stepping, moving, thinking, wanting, it all becomes a repetition. Go out of your ordinary routine. Find an undiscovered land, become at peace, dream; but keep close what is dear to you.

- N.M.A.

Hold me close,

Hold me tight,

Hold me through the day and night.

Sometimes being brave is the only option you have left. Maybe being brave is what everyone needed all along…

“I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. Nothing more than an empty house, the warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream. When one is so tired at the end of a day one must sleep, and at the next dawn there are more strawberry runners to set, and so one goes on living, near the earth. At times like this I’d call myself a fool to ask for more…”

“I don’t know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes - it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, ‘Well, if I’d known better I’d have done better,’ that’s all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, ‘I’m sorry,’ and then you say to yourself, ‘I’m sorry.’ If we all hold on to the mistake, we can’t see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can’t see what we’re capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one’s own self.”

“Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
