“and seconds turned into minutes that turned into hours and became days and the next thing i know another week came and so did you”

rsvnr:

It still boggles me sometimes how you can find someone who is willing to accept almost everything you are, and at that point where you can bare your soul, or expose your vulnerabilities, and they’ll love you more for it.

How amazing it is that you have that chance to find that someone, if you haven’t already.

Maybe right now, you’re both waiting for each other, just waiting for that simple serendipity to finally fall into place.

“The person in life that you will always be with the most, is yourself. Because even when you are with others, you are still with yourself, too. When you wake up in the morning, you are with yourself, laying in bed at night you are with yourself, walking down the street in the sunlight you are with yourself. What kind of person do you want to walk down the street with? What kind of person do you want to wake up in the morning with? What kind of person do you want to see at the end of the day before you fall asleep? Because that person is yourself, and it’s your responsibility to be that person you want to be with. I know I want to spend my life with a person who knows how to let things go, who’s not full of hate, who’s able to smile and be carefree. So that’s who I have to be.”
