Happy Valentine’s Day How I Met Your Mother Style

So instead of being a whiney single girl on Valentine’s day, I’m going to appreciate the meaning of it (and the chocolate it comes with) and enjoy the lovey dovey atmosphere all around me tomorrow. Whether you’re single or happily in love, I wanted to share this great speech that Klaus makes in Season 8 episode 1. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone :)

“There is a word in German- lesbenslangerschicksalsschatz- and the closest translation would be like long treasure of destiny…It’s not something that develops over time. It’s something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in you stomach, in your skin. If you have to think about it, you have not felt it. Of course you’ll find it someday. Everyone does eventually, you just never know when or where.”

I’ve known you all my life, yet I feel I’ll never really know you

You cannot change the past.

The time lost is gone, and it is pointless to attempt to recapture it.

But the future can be molded.

And I will make the effort.

Because when you’re gone, I don’t want to blame myself for the lack of relationship that existed. I do not want to be able to say, “Sarah, it’s your fault. You didn’t try.” I refuse to live with that regret.

When I look at you, I see one flat color. I want to know the variations, the hues of your shadows, and the shifts from dark to light. I want to be able to fill up a book with words to describe you, instead of writing a simple and sparse chapter. I want to use all the potential love I hold for you.

I don’t want to lose you and have to ask who you were. I want to undeniably know.

All I really want is for you to want to know me too.

it’s been two years since I saw this skyline, I just want to go back

Count On Me

you can count on me like 123 and I’ll be there

A Little Less Conversation

a little more bite and a little less bark

I Won't Give Up

I think I have a lot to learn

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

-“Sea Fever” John Masefield

A Few Good Men

Going into my fourth semester of college, the number of contacts in my phone has not tripled since high school graduation. I have found it’s very easy to make acquaintances with the people on your floor, classmates, the people you meet at parties, with friends of friends, etc. At the end of my time in college, the countless number of faces I’ve become familiar with over the years won’t matter- it’ll be the special handful of people who have become some of the greatest friends I’ve had.

Social success is not measured by the number of people, it’s measured by the countless laughs, tears, good times, meals, talks, moments of absurdness, and experiences you share with those you love. I may not have 100 friends, but I have a modest amount of some of the best I will ever expect to find. I feel so blessed to have met the people I have and know that despite the fact we will all be taking very different roads, we will always find places along the way to meet up.
