It will not change now
After so many years;
Life has not broken it
With parting or tears;
Death will not alter it,
It will live on
In all my songs for you
When I am gone.
Sarah Teasdale
It’s never going to be over, so stop waiting for the good stuff. As of now, spend a minimum of one hour a day doing whatever you are waiting to do until your finances are more secure, or until the children have grown and left home, or until you have finished your obligations and you feel free to do what you really want to do. Don’t wait any longer. Don’t believe in the myth of “one day when everything will be different.” Do what you love to do, what you are waiting to do, what you’ve been born to do, now.
Spend at least one hour a day doing whatever you simply love to do — what you deeply feel you need to do, in your heart — in spite of the daily duties that seem to constrain you. However, be forewarned: you may discover that you don’t, or can’t, do it; that in fact, your fantasy of your future life is simply a fantasty.
David Deida, from The Way of the Superior Man. You can laugh at the title but the book is phenomenal. (via jakelodwick)

“What happens if you fall in love?”
“You don’t believe that, do you?”
“What, it’s love, not Santa Claus.”

“What happened, why didn’t they work out?”
“What always happens… life.”

“Get over her!”
“I don’t want to get over her. I want to get her back.”So excited for this!!!
