The best thing of my day was getting a few things off my chest and then reading a bunch of quotes that I have in a book that inspire me.
Everytime I hear a quote I like, I put it in the book. I have been doing this for a long time now, and I hope when and if I have kids, that these quotes will maybe inspire them one day.
I have quite a few quotes from Sex & the City, and this is one of my favorite ones that I always think of whenever I am down about somebody in my life.
Carrie is wondering at first why another girl could get Mr. Big to make a commitment to her, while Mr. Big never wanted to settle down with Carrie, but now he is married to a model... well, after so long, Mr. Big wants to have Carrie back again, even after he is married.
She quotes first from "The Way We Were" (dont know if anybody has ever seen it, but its a classic and a beautiful movie with Barbara Streisand... sad)
*she reaches up and touches his cheek*
"Your girl is lovely, Hubbell."
And Mr. Big says "I dont get it"
"And you never did."
(Youre definitely not going to understand the irony if you've never seen "The Way We Were")
She talks about how she feels bad that she didnt tame Mr. Big the whole episode, and then she realized... she was the one who couldnt be tamed... thats how I feel right now... and this is from the same episode, one of my favorite quotes.
"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them."
And a few more...
"The fact is, sometimes it's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun."
"A wise girl kisses but never loves, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."
"I know I'll never be the girl with the perfect hair, or be able to wear white without spilling anything on it, but that's okay."
"There's a moment in every relationship where romance gives way to reality."
"Let's be honest. Sometimes there is nothing harder in life than being happy for somebody else."
"I felt like a fool. I had gone so far out on a limb with my feelings that I didn't realize that I was standing out there alone."
"In love relationships, there is a fine line between pleasure and pain. In fact, it's a common belief that a relationship without pain is a relationship not worth having. To some, pain implies growth. But how do we know when the growing pains stop, and the pain pains take over? Are we masochists or optimists if we continue to walk that fine line? When it comes to relationships, how do we know when enough is enough?"
"Soul Mate: two little words, one big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere, is holding the key to your heart."
"I wanted to go to him, but I felt like I was tied to the chair. Some part of me was holding me back, knowing I had gone too far, reached my limit."
"And then I realized I do have faith. Faith in myself. Faith that I would one day meet someone who would be sure that I was the one."
"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away."
"I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love. And I don't think that love is here in this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris."
"I do not pick the wrong guys. They pick me."
"What if Prince Charming had never showed up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woke up, spit out the apple, gotten a job, a health-care package and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank? I couldn't help but wonder... inside every confident, driven, single woman, is there a delicate, fragile princess just waiting to be saved?"
"And I'm worried...I, I'm afraid that he took away my ability to believe. And I hate him for that. Because I always believed before. And now I just feel...lost. And I am, I'm trying to put myself out there, but... I feel hopeless."
"We could only wonder how she would be able to dust herself off and start over. Over again. And yet we knew we couldn't bear for her not to, and felt ever more optimistic that after all her struggles, she would someday meet her man, her equal: a man with the same charisma, love of life, and humanity she possessed. In the meantime, she'd have her friends. And the knowledge that she deserved the world."
"How do you bounce back when reality batters your belief system and love does not, as promised, conquer all?"
"I know I'll never be the girl with the perfect hair, or be able to wear white without spilling anything on it, but that's okay."
"When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less... than butterflies…"
I feel much better now.... I love all those quotes... who knows... maybe one or more of them made someone else feel better, too.
