>it's life<
I (Me, Chantal) don't know where I found this, and I don't know who wrote it, but I find it to be very true, I agree with it totally...Here it is:
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to
become. You never know who these people may be; your roommate, neighbor, professor,long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who,when you
lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your
life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem
horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential,strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe
and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience, they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from... those lessons
are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it
everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually
listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

I (Me, Chantal) coudln't have said it better myself, I think this was said beautifully.
The great art of life is sensation,
to feel that we exist, even in pain.

Life is about not knowing, having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious ambiguity.

>love<
Do I love you because you're beautiful,
Or are you beautiful be cause I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you
A girl (man) to lovely (perfect) to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
Or are you really as beautiful as you seem?
-Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II:
Lyrics from Cinderella
Love means to love that which is unlovable;
or it is no virtue at all.
-G.K. Chesterton
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
