“And he did touch her, firmly but gently, just as she had dreamed. But minus the gloom of setting suns and lonely river banks. She was secure and grateful; he was kind and lively. She had not known there was so much laughter in the world.”

— Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home

“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”

Quick! Grab two things you love.

       

I am laughing unreasonably hard at this.

HAHAHAHAHHHAHA

who tell you you’re pretty.

“Laugh at the men who tell you you’re 

pretty. You are more than that.”

“I used to laugh at people that were in long distance relationships.

“I used to laugh at people that were in long distance relationships.
How can you love someone when they’re so far away so much of the time?
I need a love where they can come over for a takeaway when I’ve had an awful day at work,
Or drop painkillers through my door when I’ve got a migraine.
So when I realised it would take seven hours on a coach every weekend to visit you,
I had to give myself a good kick,
And ask myself if this girl is worth the pain.
The truth?
She is. She is, my god she is.
So through the tears and the sleepless nights we kept going,
Until one day she said fuck this,
And packed her bags. She’s beside me in our bed now,
As she has been every night for three months.
She’s definitely worth it.”

— Nizar Qabbani, My Lover Asks Me

“My lover asks me:
“What is the difference between me and the sky?”
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky.”

A child of the age of six years

“A child of the age of six years laughs about three times more than an adult.”

”They told me that to make her fall in love

”They told me that to make her fall in love I had to make her laugh but every time she laughs I’m the one who falls in love.”

remember the three L’s

“My mom always told me to remember the three L’s: live, laugh, and love. She always asked me which was most important and I would say live because if you don’t live you can’t laugh and love. However, she was always there to correct me and tell me love was the most important because if you never find love, you’ll never fully laugh and never completely understand the meaning of living with the one you love.”

The more I watched this, the more I smiled. :D

don’t be so sure you alone possess the secret to happiness

STOP THIS. His face is one of pure mischief behind that beard. I like this human.

It’s not that everything will be easy or exactly as you had expected, but you must just choose to be grateful for all that you have, and happy that you got a chance to live this life, no matter how it turns out.

"Life will never be perfect, no matter how hard you try. Even if you pour your heart and soul into it, you will never have that perfection you seek. There will always be broken hearts, there will always be days where nothing goes right. But you must accept and learn that even the most imperfect things will always be made better with love and laughter. "
…don’t forget to smile okay :)

I’d rather hear a girl laugh well than try to turn me on with

If you can’t laugh together in bed, the chances are you are incompatible, anyway. I’d rather hear a girl laugh well than try to turn me on with long, silent, soulful, secret looks. If you can laugh with a woman, everything else falls into place.

“Cry in the dojo - Laugh on the battlefield!”

— keaton henson, from ‘hithermost’

“your touch is a priceless possession
don’t let me tire of it, tell me i’ve won
don’t waste the touch of your skin on a greeting
hold me at night so i know the day’s done.

my name from your lips is a sonnet
but utter it not just for mere naming’s sake
save all the syllables, wait until morning
speak to me then so i know i’m awake.

the sound of your laughter is music for dancing
and though you should know of the spell that you cast
don’t spend it eagerly, wait till it’s earnest
laugh with me then so i know it won’t last

there is still a word, gone un-uttered between us
but don’t say it yet darling, i’ll tell you when.
one day i’ll need it like air underwater
save it till then will you,
save it till then.”

There are some people in life

There are some people in life that just makes you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger and live a little bit better.

You never really know who or what your baby is laughing at ♥
