Here it is: I love you. I'm in love with you. I have been for a long time. This might seem like a strange thing for me to say given the fact we aren't speaking to each other. But I've decided that it's possible to love someone for entirely selfless reasons, for all of their flaws and weaknesses, and still not succeed in having them love you back. It's sad perhaps, but not tragic, unless you dwell forever in the pursuit of their elusive affections.","author":"Cammie McGovern","tags":["complete","confession","declarations-of-love","in-love","love","sad","starcrossed-lovers","tragic","unrequited-love","young-adult"],"id":7339,"author_id":"Cammie+McGovern"},{"text":"She slammed the door andwas gone.I looked at the closed doorand at the doorknoband strangelyI didn't feelalone.","author":"Charles Bukowski","tags":["alone","bukowski","complete","happiness","happy","inspiration","life","loneliness","lonely","loss","love","poem","poetry","self"],"id":12027,"author_id":"Charles+Bukowski"},{"text":"Complete people gaze into the blue sky above, plunge into the center of the earth below, and run freely in the eight directions without even a change of mood.","author":"Liezi","tags":["blue-sky","complete","earth","mood"],"id":12265,"author_id":"Liezi"},{"text":"I felt after I finished Slaughterhouse-Five that I didn’t have to write at all anymore if I didn’t want to. It was the end of some sort of career. I don’t know why, exactly. I suppose that flowers, when they’re through blooming, have some sort of awareness of some purpose having been served. Flowers didn’t ask to be flowers and I didn’t ask to be me. At the end of Slaughterhouse-Five…I had a shutting-off feeling…that I had done what I was supposed to do and everything was OK .","author":"Kurt Vonnegut Jr.","tags":["awareness","bloom","book","books","complete","finished","flowers","slaughterhouse-five","writing"],"id":13389,"author_id":"Kurt+Vonnegut+Jr."},{"text":"You were saved not by work, but for work.

They come with obstacles, challenges, battles and long periods of wandering in the dark. Your path won't make sense to your family or friends. People will weigh in with their life rules and fears, but in the end it is your life. That pull you feel is real and often your intuition. It nags at you everyday. Follow it for as far as it takes you because life is too short to dwell on indecision, while you forget to live. Take a chance because if you have a good heart God isn't going to abandon you. He will travel wherever you need to go, in order to find the missing pieces of your soul.","author":"Shannon L.
