Guilt and Regret

"I wish I could be one of those people who live life without any regrets, who makes decisions in a carefree manner and never looks back. I know several people who live life this way and I envy that they are able to do this. But I’m most definitely not one of those people. I work over most decisions, big and small, and even after spending hours deliberating and carefully weighing the pros and cons, I often still look back afterwards and wish I could change the choices I’ve made."

A sunset is beautiful, but it lasts only so long. Once it’s over, it’s over.

We must learn to let go. To do so, acceptance is the key. We needn’t settle, but we all have a reality we must accept. As much as we might want to, we’ll never be able to hold on to a sunset. Likewise, we can’t retain every thing and still lead meaningful lives. Life is fulfilling only when we allow ourselves to let go, when we allow ourselves to be in the moment, when we allow ourselves to feel the moment. After all, this moment is life’s only true reality.

Every Day

"This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the wold. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it's just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be."
