I may still not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that someday I want to live in a house filled with my books and travel souvenirs. And the walls that aren’t covered in bookshelves will be covered with photos of my family and friends. When I leave the house I will be going to a job I love, and ill return to a person I love. So, that’s the dream im working on.
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

ned: you’re the only one for me.
chuck: i know you feel that now, but there are things you want, there’s things we both want.
ned: so? everyone wants stuff. we wake up everyday with a list of wishes a mile long and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true, but just because we want them doesn’t mean we need them to be happy.
chuck: what do you need to be happy?
ned: you.

‘Sometimes I would like to ask God why He allows poverty, suffering, and injustice when He could do something about it.’
‘Well, Why don’t you ask Him?’
‘Because I’m afraid He would ask me the same questions.’

I love you” means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. “I love you” means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same way for me.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Don’t focus on the “could have”s in your life. There’s just too much “could have”s in this world. Divert your attention on the “will be”s and everything will be alright. Take your regret, and use it as a launchpad for greater things in future. Hey, making a good thing out of a bad thing, right?
