Without somebody doesn't make us a nobody

My great-great grandparents were supposed to be on that ship to America. My great grandmother was only two months old. An emergency came up last minute though so they ended up not going. They would have been third class passengers due to their Swedish heritage, and would have inevitably died on the ship or drowned. It’s strange how my family escaped potential death; I may have not been alive right now if they would have boarded.

“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.” Timothy Leary (via skeletales)

10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness.

– If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.

Saddest text message I read today.

10pm
Girl: babe, let's meet later. I miss you.
Boy: alright, I'll just finish this round of beer.
Girl: you're drinking again?
Boy: don't worry; I'll be there, okay?
Girl: okay, I'll be waiting.
hours passed, more of the boy's friends came and they enjoyed too much that he forgot about the time.
The boy looked at his cellphone and saw four messages and 10 missed calls.
He shut his phone down to pretend his battery was drained.
1am
The boy went home and saw his brother, panicking outside the house and looking for him.
Brother: someone called earlier! Your girlfriend's bag was snatched, but she followed the snatchers and they shot her!
Boy: don't mess with me man. Stop joking.
The boy opened his cellphone and looked at her messages.
11: 00pm
Babe, where are you?
11: 30pm
Babe, why is your phone off?
11: 45pm
Babe, there are guys following me. I'm scared. Where are you? : '(
12: 00am
Happy Anniversary Babe, I love you. I wanted to greet you personally, but I think I won't see you tonight. Good night babe, I hope you're not drunk when you get home.
(This was originally in Filipino, but I translated it for you guys.)
I felt sad, reading this.
Guys, you'll never know when you'll lose the people you love.
Show them everyday how much you love them because you'll never know when you can't, anymore.
