?What is love

Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing, And your voice caught within your chest?
•It isn't Love, it's Like.

You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right?
•It isn't Love, it's Lust.

Are you proud, and eager to show them off?
•It isn't Love, it's Luck.

Do you want them because you know they're there?
•It isn't Love, it's Loneliness.

Are you there because it's what everyone wants?
•It isn't Love, it's Loyalty.

Do you stay for their confessions of Love, because you don't want to hurt them?
•It isn't Love, it's Pity.

Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?
•It isn't Love, it's being Unconfident.
 
Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?
•It isn't Love, it's Infatuation.

Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
•It isn't Love, it's Friendship.

Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?
•It isn't Love, it's a Lie.

Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake?
•It isn't Love, it's Charity.

Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?
•Then it's Love.

Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?
•Then it's Love.

Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are?
•Then it's Love.

Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?
•Then it's Love.

Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?
•Then it's Love.

But do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain
and elation pulls you close and holds you?
•Then it's Love.

Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?
•Then it's Love.

Now, if Love is painful, and tortures us so,
why do we Love?
Why is it all we search for in life?
This pain, this agony?
Why is it all we long for?
This torture, this powerful death of self?
Why?
Because it's ...  Love

فرصت لذت بردن از خوشی هایت را به بعد موکول نکن.
اشتباهاتت را بپذیر.
حداقل سالی یک بار طلوع آفتاب را تماشا کن.
برای هر مناسبت کوچکی جشن بگیر.
شکست را به راحتی بپذیر و وقتی پیروز شدی فخرفروشی نکن.
عادت کن همیشه حتی زمانی که ناراحت هستی خودت را سرحال نشان دهی.
وقتی با کار سختی رو به رو شدی به خودت تلقین کن که ؛ شکست غیرممکن است.
سعی کن زندگی همواره برایت پیام داشته باشد.
کوچکترین پیشرفت ها را هم موفقیت بدان.
آرام صحبت کن اما در فکر کردن سریع باش.
مشکلات را ؛ به عنوان نوعی مبارزه طلبی در نظر بگیر.
اعتماد به نفس داشته باش و خود را کوچک مشمار.
برای داشتن یک روز خوب ، به فردا فکر نکن.
هرچند وقت یکبار یک عادت ناپسند خود را ترک کن.
به خاطر داشته باش که همیشه حق انتخاب با توست.
دیگران را تحسین کن و از شادی آنها لذت ببر.
آرام باش و از زمان حال لذت ببر. زیرا بقیه عمرت را برای ادامه زندگی در اختیار داری.

Christina Rossetti

مرا به یاد آور وقتی که رفته ام ... و رهسپار سرزمین سکوت شده ام ... وقتی دیگر نمیتوانی دستم را در دست بگیری و من نمیتوانم میان ماندن و رفتن دو دل باشم. دیگر برای هر حرف و نیایشی دیر است و اگر زمانی مرا از یاد بردی و دوباره به یاد آوردی اندوهگین مباش
بهتر است مرا فراموش کنی و لبخند بزنی ... تا اینکه به یادم باشی، اما ساکت و اندوهگین
