Favorite Quote:
“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”

No amounts of love ,
Can fill up these spaces,
In this heart of mine,

Haha yea you are rite indeed. Love can fill up the spaces, for real except that during the times we confine us to ourselves and refuse to let love to occupy the empty spaces between us. Thanks Emily for your compliments! You make my day!

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
