In French, you don’t really say, “I miss you.” You say, “Tu me manques,” which is closer to, “You are missing from me.” I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.

I don’t want to be one to hold a grudge, but I think it’s just as dangerous to get over anger too quickly. There’s a fine line.

Happiness schmappiness.I think the pursuit of it, and our focus on it, is narcissistic. I don’t think that should be the goal in life. I think the goal in life is to have a good life — rich, fulfilled, filled with love — and have a sense that you are doing something to make the world a better place — and then happiness is a byproduct of a life well lived.

flight @ 4:20

we are rapidly preparing to catch a flight to amsterdam. A weekend of fun awaits us… We are couch surfing with 6 other americans in a two bedroom house. Our host and his daughter we’ll greet us after some type of train adn ferry ride! YAY! talk soon :)

If you ever leave home for a significant time,

allisonthevegan:

don’t waste all your time being home sick. We all remember home as being much better than it actually is.

Don’t get me wrong, home might actually be wonderful but don’t waste your time wanting to be back. You’ll probably end up back there anyway. Just enjoy being away.

Wise words from Allison.

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
