SAVING YOU The darkness takes him over, The sickness pulls him in; His eyes- a blown out candle, I wish to go with him. Sometimes I see a flicker- A light that shown from them; I hold him to me tightly, Before he's gone again. -Lang Leav

"Be willing to go alone sometimes. You don't need permission to grow. Not everyone who started with you will finish with you. And that's ok." "I didn't lose you. You lost me. You'll search for me inside of everyone you're with and I won't be found."

"And if I asked you to name all of the things that you love, how long would it take you to name yourself?"

"...something very beautiful happens to people when their world has fallen apart: a humility, a nobility, a higher intelligence emerges at just the point that our knees hit the floor."

"My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me."

"We are the silver lining in any and every dark cloud we could ever find. There is no need to go looking for the light when you bring it with you."

"Warm me like sunshine and soothe me like rain. Burn me with passion and steal away the pain." "Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is." https://www.etsy.com/shop/ILACQUAart

“The house had stood for just short of a century

Slated to be torn down

The end of an era

Children’s laughter still echoes within the sad neglected walls

How happy they once were

Growing up in this pristine home

Every tree planted that grew with the children

Flowers always abundant

The sounds of splashing on hot summer days

Dogs barking at the edge of the pool

This was the house of a couple who loved dearly and laughed often

A house that also saw sorrow

But a house that still stood proud as she walked away for the last time…”

"There she sat Her face turned up towards the sun With the look of joy in something so simple Sometimes it’s the little things you remember Watching her as the breeze ruffled her hair She will forever be sunshine And breezes…" --Lisa Ilacqua https://www.etsy.com/shop/ILACQUAart

“Maybe life isn’t about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it’s about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it.”

“Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you’re in now.”

“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.  No apologies or excuses.  No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.  The gift is yours--it is an amazing journey--and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.  This is the day your life really begins.” -Bob Moawad
