If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't be.
Embrace the uncertainty.
Allow it to lead you places.
Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness.
Don't waste time with regret.
Spin wildly into your next action.
Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; 
because you'll never get another one quite like it.
And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost,
simply take a breathe and start over.
Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart.
Where your hope lives, you'll find your way again.

I think I fall in love with you even more when I catch you in small moments. 
When you think no one's looking at you, when you absently fix your hair or when you try so hard to open your eyes when you're really really sleepy.

There's something beautiful about a person who is lost in a thought,
or adjusting their shirt, or is scratching a phantom itch on their arm,
or even someone who is looking at someone else like I am looking at you.

When I was younger I'd put my arms in my shirt and imagine that I lost my arms.
I would restart the video game whenever I know I was going to lose.
I would sleep with all my toys so none of them would get offended. 
I had that one pen with six colors, and tried to push all the buttons at once.
I poured my soda into the cap and acted like I was taking shots.
I would wait behind a door to scare someone, but soon leave because they were taking too long or I had to pee.
I would fake being asleep, so I would be carried to bed.
I used to think that the moon followed the car.
I would watch those two drops of rain roll down the window and pretend it was a race. 
I used to swallow fruit seeds and get scared that a tree was going to grow on me.
Remember when we were kids and couldn't wait to grow up? 
What were we thinking?
