I don't wanna be scared...But I still am.

Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

Your love

Should never be offered to the mouth of a stranger,

Only to someone who has the valor and daring

To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife

Then weave them into a blanket

To protect you.

Stay close to any sounds that make you glad you are alive.

Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in the darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.

There are different wells within your heart.

Some fill with each good rain,

Others are far too deep for that

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.

Even after all this time the sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me”

There is no pleasure without a tincture of bitterness. - Paolo Coelho

It's amazing how Coelho put into words the feelings and thoughts that people often have a hard time expressing to the one they love or even admitting to themselves. I was inspired from the moment that I read the first line of this entry in his blog, for it reminded me that THERE REALLY IS NO ROOM FOR PRIDE IN LOVE. I’ve seen many times how expectations, doubts and fears stop a person from showing someone how much he/she really means to him/her. Because the truth is, people can't help but expect to be loved in return. And it would be heartbreaking once the person finds out all his/her efforts were made in vain. But in the end, what really matters is that you live the present moment, say what you wanna say, do what you wanna do and be able to stand up for it no matter what the consequences. Just remember that you should know when to let go if it's time to move on or to stay in that person's life if he/she wants you to.

Yes, fear is the cheapest room in the house...

I don't wanna be scared...

But I still am.
