The good things that happen to us were meant to happen, and the bad things that happen are lessons meant to teach us to be better.
loneliness first-love worry
Maybe a first love exists to reaffirm the best parts of yourself, the choices you made when you didn't worry about the consequences. Maybe a first love exists to remind you to be brave in the moment, to stand up for your feelings, instead of shrinking back in the face of potential loneliness.

writing thinking hands
A handwritten letter carries a lot of risk. It's a one-sided conversation that reveals the truth of the writer. Furthermore, the writer is not there to see the reaction of the person he writes to, so there's a great unknown to the process that requires a leap of faith. The writer has to choose the right words to express his sentences, and then, once he has sealed the envelope, he has to place those thoughts in the hands of someone else, trusting that the feelings will be delivered, and that the recipient will understand the writer's intent. How childish to think that could be easy.
stories moments enough
Moments are history. If you have enough of them, they become a story.
cutting boys energy

art grandchildren treasure
Our faces will become works of art that our grandchildren will treasure.
