Words I love,
Will miss reading during the holidays. Love how the words in the books and certain songs make so much sense.
Finished reading For One More Day, Tuesdays with Morrie, The Storyteller and Delirium this holiday :) Actually read some Catherine Lim book too but I can't remember the title oops. Really love the rest of the books I read this holiday. For One More Day and Tuesdays with Morrie were so inspiring, like really make you think about whether you are doing what you really want. The Storyteller was so omg, so proud of Jodi Picoult now hehe. It was more of justice vs mercy I guess. Delirium was like some tragic love story which takes place in somewhat futuristic society. Just finished it and was crying when I read the last two pages SIGHHH.
"You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart."
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted."
"I realize that i do believe in people. In their strength to help each other, and to thrive in spite of the odds. I believe that the extraordinary trumps the ordinary, any day. I believe that having something to hope for- even if it’s just a better tomorrow- is the most powerful drug on this planet."
"But forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It’s something you do for yourself. It’s saying, you’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me. It’s saying, you don’t get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future."
"It's so strange how life works: You work something and wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in the moment before things changed. "
"I know that life isn't life if you just float through it. I know the whole point- the only point- is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go."
"You have to go forward: It's the only way. You have to go forward no matter what happens. This is the universal law. "
Shall start on The Casual Vacancy later today. And hopefully I get to swim too :) Oh kind of want to read Lang Leav's work, The Timekeeper and try reading John Green's books.
Oh anyway found Lady Antebellum's When You Got A Good Thing. HOW SWEET. Play this at my wedding if it ever happens HAHA. Okay too much sugar (ice cream and sweets and maybe cause it's too late at night) okay good nightttt.
