Once Upon A Time

“ …The best thing though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody’d move. You go go there a hundred thousand times, and that Eskimo would just be just finished catching those two fish, the birds would still be on their way south, and the deers would still be drinking out of that water hole, with their pretty antlers and their pretty, skinny legs, and that squaw with the naked bosom would still be weaving that same blanket. Nobody’d be different. The only thing that would be different would be you. Not that you’d be so much older or anything. It wouldn’t be that,exactly. You’d just be different, that’s all. You’d have an overcoat on this time. Or the kid that was your partner in line the last time had got scarlet fever and you’d have a new partner. Or you’d have a substitute taking the class, instead of Miss Aigletinger. Or you’d heard your mother and father having a terrific fight in the bathroom. Or you’d just passed by one of those puddles in the street with gasoline rainbows in them………Certain things they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone.

The Catcher in The Rye (via andbreathe)

I remember reading this book back in Junior year, I didn’t find it that interesting. I remember Holden whining all the time. Yet this part of the book was so beautiful. I don’t mind the book now.

“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only thing I’d really like to be.” ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 22,

Every time I take a photo of someone, especially someone I know. I get this rush of excitement, I feel like I am flying. I feel closer to that person, when I press that shutter button it feels like magic. And I know I sound silly and I will get be criticized for my work but I will make it happen. I have to…

I have to say, I really enjoyed this move, everyone has been with someone that wasn’t ready for them I suppose. Very Artsy film I loved it.

Before you can grow up, you must fall in love 3 times.

Once you must fall in love with your best friend, ruining your friendship forever. This will teach you who your true friends are, and the fine line between friendship and more.

Once you must fall in love with someone you believe to be perfect. You will learn that no one is perfect, and that you should never be treated as any less than you deserve.

And once you must fall in love with someone that is exactly like you. This will teach you about who you are, and who you want to be.

And when you’re through with all that, you learn that the people who care about you the most are the ones that you hurt, and the ones that hurt you are the ones that you needed the most.

But most of all, you learn that love is only a concept and is not something that can be defined, it is different to each person that experiences it. And you will learn to respect each and every person on this earth, knowing that everyone only wants to be loved.
