I cannot promise never to be angry;
– A Vow by Wendy Cope
I cannot promise always to be kind.
You know what you are taking on, my darling –
It’s only at the start that love is blind. And yet I’m still the one you want to be with
And you’re the one for me – of that I’m sure. You are my closest friend, my favourite person,
The lover and the home I’ve waited for. I cannot promise that I will deserve you
From this day on. I hope to pass that test.
I love you and I want to make you happy.
I promise I will do my very best.2 weeks ago / 2 notes / Source:

why waste energy trying to plan? I would rather enjoy the now… and my plans never work out anyway.

…the result was that I reacted to the city in the complete opposite way that I worried I might. Instead of being intimidated, I felt at home. Instead of feeling cowed, I felt emboldened to embrace as much of it as I could.

– A Practical WeddingWhen I realized that this lack of closure was what was bothering me, that’s when I decided that my parents’ wedding needed a funeral. Because a funeral, you see, is really about the people who are left behind. It’s a time when no one cares if you laugh and cry in the same breath. And you can be as sad or angry or grateful as you want to be. And anyone and everyone is fair game for pinning the blame on. And you remember all the times—the good ones and the bad ones. And by feeling all of those feelings, and sharing them with others who understand, you learn how to keep on living, even though nothing will ever be quite the same.
…So the next time that I am at my mother’s place, I will take my parents’ wedding photos when I leave. And I will bring them home and look at them, and smile, and cry, and call my sister, or my grandmother, and say whatever I want to for as long as I need to. And then they will go carefully into the box, and up into the closet, and remain there until it doesn’t hurt quite so badly anymore. And it won’t be the same as moving on, but it will be a start.

Library books and squirrel tails →
I just used my lunch break to run up to the library and pick up 5 books that I had placed on hold. My friend Sarah pointed out that the New York Public Library system allows you to find and reserve…
