”He’s like a song she can’t get out of her head. Hard as she tries, the melody of their meeting runs through her mind on an endless loop, each time as surprisingly sweet as the last, like a lullaby, like a like a hymn, and she doesn’t think she could ever get tired of hearing it.“― Jennifer E. Smith, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

”You don’t get perfect ― but I was going to grab this happiness and hold it as tightly as I could. I was going to enjoy it for as long as it lasted.” ― Jennifer Weiner, The Next Best Thing

She’s the one who carried me for 9 months with happiness and tears. I know, the day when I cried, she was the happiest woman alive. She was the one who had patience when I fall down many times from trying to walk. She was the one who was there when I need someone to talk to. She listens to my stories even though it was all non-sense. She was also there, ready to defend me with all her might even though I didn’t know I was the wrong one. She’s the amazing woman I’ve ever known. She sacrificed her own happiness for us. She’s a lively and a bubbly one. A bubbly one wherein you’ll never know she’s hurting from the inside. She laughs all the way from the bottom of her heart hiding what’s hurting her. She’s an amazing woman for being a mother to all of us. She taught me how to sing well although I know that I can’t do higher notes. She disciplined us the way she was to be. She put me in this situation wherein I feel like I’m a mother of our family already. She’s been the one who made me strong from all of the heartaches I’ve been through. She was the one I’m holding on to whenever I feel like I’m weak. She’s my role model of being a mother to my 3 siblings. I know, I’m not the eldest of all but the eldest among my sister. I know I’ve been through many heartaches and right now, I can finally say I’m stronger than before because of you. My memory of her is her voice. One that I can say I inherited from her and upon singing a song, I feel like she’s singing with me. I love you so much and I miss you so much Mom! I know we’ve been together for almost 16 years but those years were not long enough. I’ve never had the Mother and Daughter day. Shopping with you, talking anything under the sun, giving me some advice to become a lady, and having to talk to you about my boyfriend. I know I never experience all of them, I lost them the way we lost you. I feel like thousands of memories have been removed from me. But I know, God has a plan for me. He has something for us and I think I know it is best. If I could only turn back time, I will give you lots of kisses and hugs that has not been given to you. I will be a good daughter to you and will make you happy. If only, I’ll give you all the efforts that a mother deserve. Unfortunately, I cannot do all of those as we lost you 3 years ago.

Just remember that even the purest of souls have darkness in them. It might be hard to spot. Perhaps they’ve perfected the art of covering it from the world. Or maybe it’s hidden in a dark corner of their mind. But it’s there. No one in this world is scar free.

Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.

Each person who ever was or is or will be has a song. It isn’t a song that anybody else wrote. It has its own melody, it has its own words. Very few people get to sing their song. Most of us fear that we cannot do it justice with our voices, or that our words are too foolish or too honest, or too odd. So people live their song instead.

And maybe what growing up really means is knowing that you don’t have to be just a character, going whichever way the story says. It’s knowing you could be the author instead.

Something that is very hard to learn and accept about real life is that a lot of people, a surprising number of people, don’t really care about anyone but themselves. They pretend to care, and they can go through the motions a little bit for a little while, but when real and sad things happen that last longer than a few days, they lose interest fast. It is best to not have these people be your best friends, because they are terrible. Unfortunately, they are everywhere, and, to make things worse, they sometimes procreate.

We live in a world defined by its boundaries: You cannot travel faster than the speed of light. You must and will die. You cannot escape these boundaries. But the miracle and hope of human consciousness is that we can still conceive of boundlessness.

Do you have doubts about life? Are you unsure if it’s worth the trouble? Look at the sky: that is for you. Look at each person’s face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. And the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. They are as much for you as they are for other people. Remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. Stand up and face the east. Now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. It’s okay to be unsure. But praise, praise, praise.

Being a successful person is not necessarily defined by what you have achieved, but by what you have overcome.

The only meaningful thing we can offer one another is love. Not advice, not questions about our choices, not suggestions for the future, just love.
