story of my life

You have to confront the cowardice within you that says hold out for the person that can save you from yourself. That person isn’t out there. There isn’t anyone who can do that. It’s better to make the decision to stay and love someone. About all I can hope for in life is that the people I love know that I love them. That I’m doing all I can to treat people as well as I can. The noble struggle is to find a way to love someone. To really love someone. To get beyond yourself far enough that you can actually care about another person more than you care about yourself. Once you do that you can start building something beyond your own selfish life.


It’s trite to say love keeps us together, but it’s also true. Without it I don’t think we would have any order in our lives. Families couldn’t exist. It works like a binding agent, keeps men at home, distinguishes us from animals.
