Just Have Hope

 "I have to remember it is not love that has hurt me; but someone who could not love me in the right way." ~R. YS Perez I really like this quote a lot. I feel like in books and TV shows, sometimes in real life, people claim they are done with love because they have been hurt. They don't want to risk getting their heart broken again because love has hurt them. But it is really love that broke your heart or the person you fell for? It can be tempting to give up on love. To just say it's not worth it. Love has failed me. Love hasn't failed you. Love will always exist. It creeps in on us and suddenly we find the person across the room has caught our eye. The question is not does love occur but does love last? And that has everything to do with the person we fall in love with.  I want to define what I believe this quote means by "love me in the right way."  -This means that the circumstances are allowing a relationship.  -The relationship is healthy, balanced...

 "Find something you love to do, and you'll never work a day in your life." ~Harvey MacKay I agree with this quote, a lot. If you find something you love to do then you won't mind having a job doing it. I really enjoy writing and one day I hope to publish a book. I also really like teaching. So teaching each day would be something I would really enjoy.  I hope each of you will be able to have a job that you love, either now or someday. Why would you choose a career path you don't like? Go to school for something you're passionate about, then you'll enjoy your classes.  Whatever you do and wherever you go, I hope you will be able to fulfill your passions and have the ability to do so.  What are you passionate about?

There was a knock at the door.    An accepted invitation.            A secret was shared.                 As they journeyed down the road.                                    On the road there is beauty to be shared.      Green leaves grow on apple trees.            Magnificent butterflies fly, and buzzing bees.              A majestic place, leading to the undiscovered.                         Pretty pink pansies grow on the si...

I was reading a book several months ago in June. I found a beautiful quote on one of the first few pages. It reads: "True love knows no constraints, no locks or bars. Past every obstacle, it makes its way. It spreads its wings to soar toward the stars. No earthly power will make it stop or stay." -Matthias Claudius  I couldn't help but love this quote when I saw it. (Pun intended.) I really like how Matthias worded this quote, you can't help but agree with him.  I think love is the most powerful emotion we have. It connects all of us and brings us closer together. The greatest things that have happened in history were because of love.  I know love will stand forever. Even for our loved ones who have died. We will see them again. I am grateful for the love in our lives. ❤  ~What does love mean to you?
