Thoughts
Every once in awhile, I'll have some good thoughts. Well, at least I think they're good. When I remember to write them down here, I'll do so.

If you really love someone...
"If you really love someone, let them go. If they come back to you, then they're yours forever. If not, then they were never yours in the first place."
I'm sure a lot of people have heard this saying. I was thinking about it the other day (relative to past experiences), and I asked myself a question. What happens when a person feels like they are letting someone go, when in reality they are pushing them away? In my opinion there's a difference between letting someone go that wants to go and pushing someone away that wants to stay.
My guess is that the person being pushed away doesn't come back. In which case the person doing the pushing, because they feel like they were letting go, assumes the last sentence of that saying...which may not be true.

Waiting
Waiting requires patience, hope, and according to a very special friend of mine, snacks. :o)
As soon as someone loses either patience (to continue waiting) or hope (that what's being waited for will come to pass), the waiting will usually end with or without the realization of that hope.
Oh, and you better hope you don't run out of snacks, either. You wouldn't want to be out on a munchies run when whatever you're waiting for shows up. *grin*

William & Joe
Tonight, I finally got around to seeing Meet Joe Black. I know, I'm extremely late - about 10 years to be exact. Anyways, there were a lot of good things said in the movie, but one particular exchange between William and Joe towards the end stuck with me more than anything else.
Joe Black: I don't care Bill. I love her.I think the fictional character of William Parrish got it right. That is what it means to love.
William Parrish: How perfect for you - to take whatever you want because it pleases you. That's not love.
Joe Black: Then what is it?
William Parrish: Some aimless infatuation which, for the moment, you feel like indulging. It's missing everything that matters.
Joe Black: Which is what?
William Parrish: Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love.
Joe Black: So that's what love is according to William Parrish?
William Parrish: Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about.
