Thoughts on Life,Love

Thoughts on Love

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. Maybe we have to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

3. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person.

4. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

5. When the door of happiness closes, another opens but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

6. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

7. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

8. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be sure it grew in yours.

1. Still high. At one point in the middle of the night, I thought the miniature Christmas tree my mom brought was rustling aggressively towards me. Turns out it was the sound of my IV drip, but I’m still keeping a close eye on that sneaky shrub.


2. Rufus Wainwright just dramatically and operatically sang: “Your nose was always too big for your face / Still it makes you look kind of sexy.” I’m sorry, but did he borrow Ke$ha’s lyricist? Come on, Rufus. I can do better than that right now and I’m writing about being intimidated by a small potted tree.

3. I am trying to download a movie rental from iTunes using the hospital’s painfully slow wifi. The current download time estimate is 247 hours, which is perfect because the movie should be just about ready when I am back in two years with another similar injury.

4. Not doing today’s scheduled training is stressful. It is the middle of December, so naturally these intervals are critical to my racing season and without them I will die and not be able to win. In that order
