Where I'm From
By Cherquoyah BRONZE
West Columbia, South Carolina

I am from Febreeze and Dad's cologne. I am from buildings touching the sky. I am from bright city lights at night. Such a pretty occurrence that it's hard not to stay...

"I would prove to men how mistaken they are in thinking that they no longer fall in love when they grow old, not knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love." -Gabriel Garcia Marquez

&quot;i don&#039;t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: i love you as one loves certain dark things, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.&quot;<br /> -Pablo Neruda

Favorite Quote:
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being &quot;in love&quot; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.&quot;
