over the rainbow.

after 1 year, 6 months, and 1 day (or 548 days), i'm going to stop updating this blog. thanks for reading.

Friday April 16th
The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor; but that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along. People who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring - all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.

Wednesday April 14th
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

coffee.

Don't settle for someone who only buys you coffee.
Go for someone who makes one for you.

watch me.

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't.
It's your job to turn around and say "watch me".

how many coins.

Sunday April 11th
The more that you read, the more things you'll know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.


Saturday April 10th
It doesn't make sense to let go of something you had for so long, but it also doesn't make sense to hold on when nothing's there.


Friday April 9th
No matter how many coins you throw in a fountain, or the number of fingers you cross, if it's not meant to be, it won't happen.

success.

Never let success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart.

every sport.

Every sport has its limits and its rules.
We can try to bend the rules, defend the rules, expand the limits, but eventually, the game will snap back to the way it was meant to be played.

being human.

Mistakes are part of being human.
Appreciate your mistakes for what they are; precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way.

your own life.

which to burn.

one of the hardest things in life is knowing which bridge to cross and which to burn.

double-edge comfort.

My thoughts tend to sound better in books I didn't write, and in the songs I didn't sing. Even then, sometimes there is no piece of literature, no song, no work of art that can really explain the way you feel. There is a double-edge comfort in knowing that no one really knows.

into the dark.

There’s always going to be bad stuff out there. But here’s the amazing thing — light trumps darkness, every time. You can stick a candle into the dark, but you can’t stick the dark into the light.

sunglasses.

when the world's given up on you, put on your sunglasses, turn up the music and let them f#$@ themselves. you'll want to push yourself further without them.

go on and on.

love yourself.

believe.

It isn't good to hold on too hard to the past. You can't spend your whole life looking back. Not even when you can't see what lies ahead. All you can do is keep on keeping on, and try to believe that tomorrow will be what it should be - even if it isn't what you expected.

tell someone.

if you love someone, tell him or her. forget about the rules or the fear of looking ridiculous. what is truly ridiculous is passing up on an opportunity to tell someone that your heart is invested in him or her.

never happen.

most of the things you spend your time worrying about never happen.

nothing changes.

isn't it funny how day to day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?

world ending.

fear of failure.

Wednesday March 24th
I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong? What if you make a mistake you can’t undo? Whatever it is we’re afraid of, one thing holds true: that by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it, it can feel like we’re carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically.


Tuesday March 23rd
it is what it is.

do it now.

whatever you want to do, do it now. for life is time and time is all there is.

too afraid.

the worst mistake anyone can make is being too afraid to make one

this moment.

go left.

when nothing goes right, go left.

take into account.

perfect moment.

if you wait too long for the perfect moment, the perfect moment will pass you by.

the future.

wish you were here.

wish you were here.

5 years goes fast. rip frankie foreman, we miss you.

don't ever give up.

even if the path is a little blurry, keep walking.
you'll focus in when you know what you want.
then the picture of your life will be crystal clear.
just don't ever give up.

someone, somewhere.

fall in love.

What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what gets you out of bed in the mornings, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.

do not worry.

do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. each day has enough trouble of its own.

fall down.

even the best fall down sometimes.

don't mind.

be who you are and say what you feel.
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind.

are you happy.

bizarre.

we're all pretty bizarre. some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.

all about risks.

life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or what they could have had.

better heart.

If your head tells you one thing, and your heart tells you another, before you do anything, you should decide if you have a better head or a better heart.

fall apart.

be strong when things fall apart.

forgive others.

People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.

just do it.

Like Nike says, just do it.
Yeah, rejection sucks, but not as much as doing nothing.

no different.

oh canada.

oh canada. ▌♥ ▌

never.

passing minute.

every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

person you are.

Sometimes you have to step outside the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.

like stars.

good friends are like stars. you don't always see them, but you know they're always there.

could be.

things could be worse.

i'm facing.

what you see.
