 FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER FOR MORE QUOTES May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can; and I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.  I always thought of music as more than words and sound, something more like inspiration that picks you off the ground when you're down... and I know that music will pull me through, so it's a soundcheck to an empty room.  I do understand the impulse. The impulse to put your hand out and want someone to be there at the end of your reach. To want someone to be close to. To want to kiss or touch even if it's wrong. The point is, you can't control these feelings. Even if they're wrong, they're there. They're always there.  Time's not what it seems, it just seems longer when you're lonely in this world. Everything it seems, would be brighter if your nights were spent with some girl.  I take people how they come, I don't try to change or mould them I love people how they are, flaws and all and maybe more fool me, I've been hurt because of this more times than anything but I honestly think that deep down, everybody has a good heart. It just takes time and patience to find it.  I see no harm in telling young people to prepare for failure rather than success, since failure is the main thing that is going to happen to them.  You should never ignore someone's pain or act as if it doesn't matter. For no matter how small their worry is to you and how simple to solve it may seem, to them, it is a disaster. And we all want someone to calm the storm, not to tell us it doesn't exist.  Hey, try to open your heart to beauty. Go to the woods someday and weave a wreath of memory there. Then, if the tears obscure your way, you'll know how wonderful it is to be alive.  Don't settle for anything less than someone who loves you. Don't love when you're lonely, love when you're ready. Don't think that it happens all the time, either. Love isn't the small scene of romance you're exposed to as a teenager. It's far different, far more real. Real love is hard to come by, but it comes. Maybe not for a while, but it shows up at some point. All of us are loved, but sometimes that person you want isn't in your life yet. Don't worry. They will be. Just stop waiting for it.  All we ever wanted was love and happy afternoons watching TV from your room, while you're laying in my arms and I know it's not fair to me to see this love walk by me everyday. Will we ever meet the right way?  I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with him. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.  I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.  You and I will always be unfinished business.  There's something beautiful about finding one's innermost thoughts in another.  I don't know what to do anymore. Life seems like a series of infinite nothings. It's not that I'm unhappy. I'm just lost.  No matter what you do, still some things never change.  It's funny how people change with alcohol in their veins. You see who they really are. You know deep down inside, there's nothing hiding behind their eyes. It's just them without any lies.
