Some Quotes From Forever (2014-2015):
Just imagine all the things you could do with eternity. See the world, speak countless languages. In fact, there’s almost nothing in this life I haven’t done, except leave it. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for those around me. Try watching as the people you love most in this world go off to another. Only then would you know what I do. That eternity is not really a blessing, but a curse.
You can learn a lot from a body — how a life was lived, what was their pain, suffering, life experiences, even if they were loved. But what a body can’t tell you is why. And for those left behind, that seems to be the only question that really matters.
For the dead, all is forgotten. But all is not lost because they’re remembered by us. Some we think of fondly, others less so. A few are remembered by many, and some by only a few.
No matter how we live or die, we all end the same — in silence. All of our hopes and dreams in life become mere echoes of a tale cut short. But if we’re lucky enough, our stories live on. Our song finds voice in the hearts of those who remember us and loved us.
The best impostors have many gifts. They can change their voice, their look, their manner. But there’s a rule every imposter learns. The one truth we cannot hide is love.
Fate can be cruel. A minute here, a minute there, and lives can be lost. But fate also gives us moments of impossible grace…moments in time when we come together and connect in a way that is profound…chance occurrences so precious that they almost make one believe in the divine, that there is someone out there looking after us.
