Because everyone could use a little love, because there's a romantic inside of everyone, and because these are words that move me, and I hope they do the same for you reading this.

But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

Did you ever stick your arms out and spin and spin and spin? Well, that's what love is like.

Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.

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.

I could certainly do with the two movies from which the above quotes are taken; Practical Magic and Meet Joe Black. Movies where you do things with wild abandonment. Love with wild abandonment. I would certainly like to kick the A Levels in its butt with wild abandonment and gleeful relish.

Have been feeling slightly off my rocker, slightly melancholy, and a lot of not-being-there. As the days draw on, I'm living more and more in my head. It's getting a bit unsettling, and I really need to snap out of it.
