” you might be sitting with him at the kitchen table drinking coffee from mismatched mugs and saying nothing because sometimes saying nothing is the best thing to say. he’s miles away, and you’re thinking you should take a shower or fix your hair or at least brush your teeth because you feel dirty and self-conscious. you wish the sun weren’t so bright on your face and you wish there was something other than corn flakes for breakfast so your stomach won’t start making hideous noises. you’re about to open your mouth and say something to break the silence, but he speaks first. he tilts his head slightly and says: “you make me really happy.” and you will agree he does, too. ” - carrie laski, things to say besides i love you

” i know it is coming, and i do not fear it, because i believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. i hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. i was perfectly content before i was born, and i think of death as the same state. what i am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. you can’t say it wasn’t interesting. my lifetime’s memories are what i have brought home from the trip. ” - roger ebert, 1942 - 2013
” do you ever think about all the people who you might have fallen in love with if only you’d taken a different way home or stood a little longer in the bread aisle at the supermarket? all the people who might have been an integral part of your life but instead you’ll never know them. the unimaginable impact that our mundane choices have on our lives really gets to me. think of how many times i might have died if i’d made different choices. maybe i’d be homeless. maybe i’d be famous. maybe i’d be rich. sometimes i’m so overwhelmed by the impact of my choices that i can’t choose anything at all because i’m afraid today will be the day that i make the choice that changes everything. ” - unknown
