Blog for a Friend

I have this really good friend, and she just got her heart broken by someone who really didn't have the right to. He made a promise, and then he broke it for whatever reason. It isn't fair, and it's going to hurt for awhile. Here are some words of wisdom that have gotten me through some less than perfect times.


"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of suffering and trail can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved"
-Helen Keller

"There will be a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning."
- Louis L'Amour

"You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best you have to give"
-Eleanor Roosevelt

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planeed, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
-Joseph Cambell

"...strength and courage aren't always measured in medals and victories. They are measured in the struggles we overcome. The strongest people are not always the people who win, but the people who don't give up when they lose"

"Time will bring healing"
-Euripides

"To love is to be vulnerable"

Lastly... lyrics. Lyrics to a beautiful song called "Love is Everything". Read them. Embrace them. Kd Lang does a beautiful version of it. Find it and listen to it.

Love is Everything

Maybe it was to learn how to love
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
Maybe it was for the games we played

Maybe it was to learn how to choose
Maybe it was to learn how to lose
Maybe it was for the love we made

Love is everything they said it would be
Love made sweet and sad the same
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I cant wait 'til you make The whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving

Maybe it was to learn how to fight
Maybe it was for the lesson in pride
Maybe it was the cowboys' ways

Maybe it was to learn not to lie
Maybe it was to learn how to cry
Maybe it was for the love we made

Love is everything they said it would be
Love did not hold back the reins
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I cant wait 'til you make The whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving

First i turns to you
Then i turns away
So you try to hurt me back
But it breaks your body down
So you try to love bigger, better still
But its too late

So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel
And know you'll never be the same
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say
I gave my love didn't I? And I gave it big sometimes
And I gave it in my own sweet time
I'm just leaving
I'm just leaving


I know you'll get through this. You have a lot of people that love and care for you. Call anytime you need.
