"The strange wistfulness of used bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time—filled with thousands of old books you’ll never have time to read, each of which is itself locked in its own era, bound and dated and papered over like an old room the author abandoned years ago, a hidden annex littered with thoughts left just as they were on the day they were captured."
I'm that person who tries to romanticise life, because most days are dreary and boring - a repetitive and monotonous cycle that's impossible to break unless you allow yourself to notice tiny little things that change and live with a child-like fascination that we buried long ago. A day is only "Like all the other days" if you make it that way. I have a fear of life slipping through my fingers like sand in a hourglass. Just slow down and find little perfects in your everyday life. Look through the fog that clouds our eyes with getting older and SEE. A bumblebee on a flower. The first leaves of autumn colouring red. That coffee you got on the way to work tastes especially nice today. The scent of fresh bread from the bakery you walk past. The street lights on either side of the road during a late night drive. Light a candle while you type away on your computer, or go dance in the rain instead of wishing it were gone. Bake something, paint something, sing your favourite song. Indulge in the beauty of what life can be - if you let it. You won't notice those perfect little things if you don't allow yourself to look.
-Oscar Wilde

PLEASE put this on your page if you know someone or are related to someone who has been eaten by dragons. Dragons are nearly unstoppable, and in case you didn't know, they can breathe fire. 93% of people won't copy and paste this on their page, because they have already been eaten by dragons. 6% of people are sitting in the shower... armed with fire extinguishers, and the remaining 1% are awesome and will re-post this.
Girls
are like apples
on trees. The best ones
are at the top of the tree.
The boys don’t want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren’t as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they’re amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who’s
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree.
All girls copy and post this on your page.
