"Toss away things you dont need in the end but keep whats important and know whos your friend" Phish
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate now knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. -- Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude
Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words. -- Rainer Maria Rilke
"'What is it that you want?' 'Someone to say goodnight to. A last call of the day. I don't have a last call of the day.'" -Bounce
"It was just one of those days when you can walk around fooling everyone into thinking you're happy...and look back and notice that everytime you smile or laugh there is a little pang of hurt in your heart because you know you are lying to the people who mean the most to you." -Unknown
