Simplicity

"The simple person lives the way he breathes, with no more effort or glory, with no more affectation and without shame…. Simplicity is freedom, buoyancy, transparency. As simple as the air, as free as the air…. The simple person does not take himself too seriously or too tragically. He goes on his merry way, his heart light, his soul at peace, without a goal, without nostalgia, without impatience. The world is his kingdom, and suffices him. The present is his eternity, and delights him. He has nothing to prove, since he has appearances to keep up, and nothing to seek, since everything is before him. What is more simple than simplicity? What lighter? It is the virtue of wise men and the wisdom of saints."
- André Comte-Sponville

Constants

“I’ve learned that: goodbyes will always hurt, pictures can never replace being there, memories forget the hard times, words can never replace feelings, and heros often go unsung.”

But what kind of heart doesn't look back?



Goosebumps again. It's been a while :)

My lyrical addiction

'Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it'

Different timezones, halfway across the world

“There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.”
