the older you get the more you realize that some people are around your entire life while others just make an appearence.

You cannot really have the world and hold on to it. It is all too temporary and the more you try to hold on to it, the more it actually holds you. By contrast, the more you hold on to the true and the good, the more you are free to really live.

sleep to dream

i had a dream the other night. i dreamt was surrounded by family, in the company of good friends, and that i was hand in hand with a lady. the only thing out of those three that felt so unreal was the lady by my side. with her i saw myself laughing, smiling, having fun, all in all just plain ol' happy. and its sad to say that i didn't want to wake up because in that moment while i was asleep, i felt so good, so happy, happier than if i was actually awake. and i haven't felt that kind of euphoria in a long, long time. i want to feel that way again. just one more time. just one more chance.
