I've become one of those people who prowl around at night in their cars. God, I am the town's Boo Radley, just like in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
You know what it’s like. Sometimes, you meet a wonderful person, but it’s only for a brief instant. Maybe on vacation or on a train or maybe even in a bus line. And they touch your life for a moment, but in a special way. And instead of mourning because they can’t be with you for longer, or because you don’t get the chance to know them better, isn’t it better to be glad that you met them at all?

Start the year with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen. On New Years Eve, empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year.
I’m starting this next year.
I had always been in love with him. I counted the lashes of each closed eye. He had been my almost, my might have been, and I did not want to leave him.

Home wasn’t a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.
What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.

If only I could fly high enough, I could find you from up there. I could stare down and the minutes from there to here and here to wherever you are would be something I could handle, a distance I could take. Maybe if you saw me, you could meet me in the middle, divide the wait in two.
Magpie Flying From Sunset (by TylerKnott)
One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice —though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t stop. You knew what you had to do, though the wind pried with its stiff fingers at the very foundations, though their melancholy was terrible. It was already late enough, and a wild night, and the road full of fallen branches and stones. But little by little, as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do — determined to save the only life you could save.

I think that you always meet people when you’re not looking [for love] because when you’re looking, you’re willing to settle, and when you’re not, you know you really like the person.
