You know you love
somebody
when
you want them
to be happy,
even if
their happiness
means
that
you are
not
a part
of
it.

For the past 6 years, a dog named Capitán has slept on the grave of his owner every night.
For the past 6 years, a dog named Capitán has slept on the grave of his owner every night. His owner, Miguel Guzmán died in 2006 and Capitán disappeared shortly after the family attended the funeral services. They searched everywhere and put out flyers to try and find him. But no one had seen him.
A week later, some people who were at the cemetary late one evening spotted Capitán laying on a grave and they contacted the grounds keeper at the cemetary. The cemetary notified the family who promptly came to pick him up and take him home. But each night he would cry and scratch frantically at the door to go out and he wouldn’t return home until morning. It was later discovered that Capitán would walk the 3 miles back to the cemetary each night to guard his master’s grave.
It has been nearly 7 years now. The cemetary does not close the gates until he arrives each night promptly at 6 pm. He sleeps there all night guarding the grave until the grounds keeper opens the gate in the morning.
and more like a human.
私は愛されるよりも何も望んでいない。
I wanted nothing more than to be loved.
知られるように、尊重されるように。
To be known and to be respected.
小さい怪物のように扱われることがあります
To be treated less like a monster—
多くの人間のように。
—and more like a human.
Tips for Getting More out of Life
- Stop resisting change and see it as a constant in life.
- Learn to enjoy, and value, solitude.
- Never forget that friendship is a gift, not a possession.
- Things are rarely as bad as they seem at first.
- Do your most important tasks first thing in the morning.
- Smiling seems to help with most things!
- Schedule margin into your life – as something unexpected will often change your plans.
- QTIP: quit taking it personally.
- Define what’s necessary; say no to the rest.
- Take a deep breath and wait before responding. Don’t react, and say something you’ll regret.

“We all want to be loved … to be happy. So why aren’t we? Because we’ve become experts at sabotaging our own happiness.Feeling like victims when in fact it’s the choices we make, the bad habits, the vices, the inability to show love and compassion.These are things that tear us down. We’re not victims. We’re assassins when it comes to love and happiness.”

Will You Ever
I don’t think you willEver fully understand
How you’ve touched my life and made me who I am
I don’t think you could ever know
Just how truly special you are
That even on the darkest nights
You are my brightest star
You’ve allowed me to experience something very hard to find
Unconditional love that exists
In my body soul and mind
I don’t think you could ever feel
All the love I have to give
And I’m sure you’ll never realize
You’ve been my will to live
You are an amazing person
And without you I don’t know where I’d be
Having you in my life
Completes and fulfills every part of me.
walk from your problems
The further away you walk from your problems, the longer the walk back is to fixing them.
Don’t ask what the world needs.
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Internet people.
Facebook is for popular people.
MySpace is for musical people.
Twitter is for famous people.

“There’s nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood… And understanding someone else.”

When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers “Try it one more time.”
When the world falls apart and Hope is gone
Love whispers “Call my name”

A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.
C'est La Vie
If only I knew how’s it going to be
If only when I try to fix things, they became better
If only I was certain of how others feel
And if only people believed what I say…
If I knew how to show what I really felt
If I knew how to make people understand
If I knew how to make them believe
If I knew how to make them happy
If making people happy doesn’t leave me sad
If making them understand doesn’t make me an ignorant
If making them believe doesn’t make me a liar
And if letting them know how I feel doesn’t leave me numb
Things would’ve never reached that point
I know I would be in a much happier place
No one would ever blame me for not caring
No one would blame me for not thinking
That’s life ….You’re never certain
You never know, you’re never sure
You’re not going to live that dream of yours
And life would never be “trouble free”
You have to live with what you have
You try to fix the broken glass
You try to collect the shattered pieces
You make the best of everyday
It’s like a train that never stops
Keep going through life without pausing
Just live each day and throw it behind you
Don’t look back or you’ll break your neck !

I find that fear and not wanting to take risks, and staying too comfortable makes people wait.
They’ll say, ‘I’ll wait until this happens,
I’ll wait until I go to film school,
I’ll wait until I have all the money,
I’ll wait until they ask me.’
Don’t wait for permission.
Seek without permission.
There’s nothing to wait for.
There’s no one coming.
There’s nothing coming to do this for you.
You have to do it yourself.
The mantra ‘do it yourself’ ultimately says ‘do not wait for anyone or anything.’
You have to get up and do that thing.
Especially as women filmmakers, as filmmakers of color, anyone who is outside of the dominant culture, anyone who is not getting handed anything, which is most of us, we cannot wait.
You have to figure it out on your own and be confident in that and enjoy the ride.
Because it is a ride.
Even starting my PR firm and running that business.
No one was going to hand that career to me.
We have to seek without permission and don’t wait for anything.”
