"that is why it is so important to let certain things go.
to release them, to cut loose.
people need to understand that no one is playing marked cards;
sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.

don't expect to get anything back.
don't expect recognition for your efforts.
don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood.

complete the circle.
not out of pride, inability, or arrogance,
but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life.

close the door,
change the record,
clean the house, get rid of the dust.

stop being who you were
and become who you are."

-paulo coelho

"that old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air... another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer." 

wallace stegner (angle of respose)

"don't get up just to get another; you can drink from mine. we can't leave each other, we can dance with the dead. you can rest your head on my shoulder if you want to. get older with me 'cause a little bit of summer makes a lot of history. you look fine, fine, fine. put your feet up next to mine; we can watch that water line get higher and higher. say, say, say; ain't it been some kind of day? you and me been catchin' on like a wildfire." -john mayer

happy monday. 

"I let  it go.  It's like swimming against  the current,  it exhausts you.  After  awhile,  whoever  you are,  you just  have to let go,  and the  river brings  you home" -- Joanna Harris
