Flowers

Some men never think of it.
You did. You’d come along
And say you’d nearly bought me flowers
But something had gone wrong.

The shop was closed. Or you had doubts -
The sort that minds like ours
Dream up incessantly. You thought
I might not want your flowers.

It made me smile and hug you then
Now I can only smile.
But, look, the flowers you nearly brought
Have lasted all this while.

Wendy Cope

“You can learn a lot from children. Just watch them. Watch how they take in the world around them. How they enjoy the smallest of things. you can do that. Take the time to push aside the busy, chaotic, stressful part of life and be a child, even if it’s just for an hour. In order to see the world as they do, you have to be on their level. Sit on the grass, lay on the driveway & then examine the world around you. You will be surprised at what you find from their level.”

So Many Things

How is it
you always
get me to do
so many things
I would not do
without you,
so many things
that take us
out of ourselves
and bring us back
a little closer,
so many things
our separate hearts
would not have known,
would not have loved,
alone.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

‎There comes a time in your life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all life is too short to be anything but happy.

Karl Marx (via dirtcrumbgoddess)

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.

You’re off to great places.
Today is your day.
Your mountain is waiting,
so get on your way.
