03/23/16


No one here cares if you go or you stay.
I barely even noticed that you were away.
I'll see you or I won't, whatever.

He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?"
"I'm yours and that's it, whatever.
I should not have been gone for so long.
I'm yours and that's it, forever."

You're mine and that's it, forever.


I wonder who she will become.
Will she pursue social work?
Will she farm?
Will she become a nurse?
Will she sell her art work?
Will she hike the AT this spring?
Will she move to Denver?
Will she open a coffee shop with a bad pun name?
Will we ever talk again?
Will we get back together?
Will she hike the PCT?
Will she still love the homeless?
Will she garden?
Which path she chooses doesn't matter because she will be the one walking it so it will be an amazing path. She always had such a hard time deciding what to do with her life but I hope she realizes that purpose isn't found in the what, but in the why and the how.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough.
Give the best you've got anyway.
You see,
in the final analysis it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.

The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.
Besides, nowadays, almost all capable people are terribly afraid of being ridiculous, and are miserable because of it.
How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist.

She still hasn't opened that snapchat I sent her. It's becoming clearer and clearer now as the end of lent approaches. But I continue to hold out for hope.

I hope she guards that beautiful heart of hers, what a gift to this planet it is.
I hope she wants to build a life with me to continue our story, to grow together.
