life real stories
So maybe it wasn't the fairy tale. But those stories weren't real anyway. Mine were.
life-is moments bigs
Maybe marriage, like life, is'nt only about the big moments, whether they be good or bad. Maybe it's all the small things—like being guided slowly forward, surely, day after day—that stretches out to strengthen even the most tenuous bond.
real real-life definitions
The point,' Ms. Conyers continued, "is that no word had one specific definition. Maybe in the dictionary, but not in real life.
life running years
We'd start slow, the way we always did, because the run, and the game, could go on for awhile. Maybe even forever. That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening. Right then, as I ran with Wes into that bright sun, and every moment afterwards. Look, there. Now. Now. Now.
hurt life-sucks tipping
Of course it hurts", she grumbled, tipping my head further back. "Life sucks. Get over it
people flow life-is
Because you have to just go with the flow. Your life is not your own, with people coming in and out all the time. You get mellow because you have to.
life adversity perfect
But if everything was always smooth and perfect, you'd get too used to that, you know? You have to have a little bit of disorganization now and then. Otherwise, you'll never really enjoy it when things go right.
life track choices
You can't just plan a moment when things get back on track, just as you can't plan the moment you lose your way in the first place.
failure screw-ups life-is
Life is full of screwups. You're supposed to fail sometimes. It's a required part of the human existance.
life looks pages
Like a word on a page that you’ve printed and read a million times, that suddenly looks strange or wrong, foreign. And you feel scared for a second, like you’ve lost something, even if you’re not sure what it is.
life crazy moon
But it's strange, when you've always been told something is true, like the moon will come back. You need proof. And while you wait, you feel the entire balance of your world just tipping. It's crazy. But when it's over, and it does come back, that's the best, because it's all you want, everything narrows to just that. It's this great rush, like for that one second everything's okay with the world again. It's amazing.
life past easy
Shoulda, coulda, woulda. It's so easy in the past tense.
hurt first-love once-in-a-lifetime
You can't love anyone that way more than once in a lifetime. It's too hard and it hurts too much when it ends.
lifestyle finest terrible
Lifestyle is an terrible, unpleasant put to not have a very finest buddy.
