a, b, c, and be.
To go through Life with a humble heart is the goal. There is a fine line between having too high of expectations on what you should receive and having low self esteem for what you should get. Its a complete balancing act. Through out this process I have found that in my weak moments I either:
a) forget to look at what is in front of me.
b) see what I see, but take it for granted.
c) not accept that I deserve the World.
Today I realized that if I stay in tune of what I really need, (really, really need, not what I want)
I can skip a, b, and c and just be.
I am completely mesmerized by this idea and I like it.

Me & Life's agreement.
I caught myself today smiling. Not just smiling...it was a literal ear to ear, cheeks flushed, eyes shining kind of smile. These are the moments. Its insane how a person's Life can change in a moment. You see, I've kept the peace with Life. Me and Life, we have an agreement. The agreement is that if I never forget how precious it is, and enjoy each moment, Life will give me back what I give out.
There will be ups and downs, tears of joy and of pain. But Life knows what I need to grow.
Its been working perfectly for the past 28 years.
And you know what Life decided to do to me unexpectedly?
I received a Gift that was so surprising it took my breath away.
Someone so beautiful.
And so here is my Thank you card to you Life. You got me. You are my homie. You got my back, you know exactly what I need.
And I love you.

“ Spending time together seemed almost too easy, as if we’d skipped all those first steps that couples are supposed to have, as if we had loved each other as kids, gone our separate ways, then returned to each other as adults who were through with games and already knew each other’s secrets.
Adam Langer, The Thieves of Manhattan
“ I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

“ He’s the kind of person who if you were standing in line and the checkout person messed up and was causing everyone to wait wouldn’t freak out or make a big deal out of it, or even shift and sigh loudly to convey his irritation. He would stand there and all of his internal machinations about the situation would be tempered by his belief that everyone is pretty much trying to do their best.
Emma Rathbone, The Patterns of Paper Monsters
