I suppose it could be many things and differ from person to person. Love, companionship, doing what makes us happy… self-care… so many things. I will just go with a few quotes I like today.
One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“It’s your journey. You gotta do your work and I gotta do mine.’
I taste salt from my tears. ‘Your need scares me. I’m afraid I’ll focus on your needs over mine.’
I clear my throat. Breathe in and out. Steady myself. ‘I love you… and I love myself. I want us to be healthy and strong. On our own. So that no matter what happens, whether we meet again or not…’
I look him in the eye. “Love means wanting you to have a good life, even if I’m not in it. And your love for me? It should be that strong, so you want that for me, too’.”
― Angeline Boulley
“I chose the sensual path because I knew I didn’t want to ordinary.”
The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
- Bertrand Russell
