So I was looking through my writing folder and organizing things, and I found something that I wrote in my junior year of high school, after reading Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 in Lit class:
I don't want your everyday, run-of-the-mill, "your eyes are like the stars" kinda love. I want someone who will see me with muddy sweatpants and wet hair and think I'm the most beautiful creature on this earth. I want someone who'll drive 3 hours in the pouring rain just to see me. I want someone to laugh so hard with that milk shoots out my nose. I want someone who'll beg to dance with me even though they hate dancing in the first place. I want that knock-em-dead, head-over-heels, crazy in love kinda love. Some people say it can't exist, but I know it's out there somewhere. And I'm holding out for that kind of love. That's what I'm waiting for.

other people's words
"Do not be afraid!
Open the doors to Christ
God works in the concrete and personal affairs of each one of us
Don't let the time that the Lord gives you run on as if everything were due to chance.
With this expression of my hope I send you all, from the depths of my heart, my blessing."
-- Pope John Paul II
"Everyone has a free-verse poem written inside of them."
-- Glenn Lee
"Every once in a while you'll find someone iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare."
-- Wendelin van Draanen, Flipped
"This was the start of a period that blurs as I try to recall it. Incidents seem to cascade and merge. Events become feelings, feelings become events. Head and heart are contrary historians."
-- Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl
"That night I met you I wrote: it is possible I have imagined my entire life."
-- Sarah Manguso, Address to an Absent Lover
"We do not obtain the most precious gifts by going in search of them but by waiting for them."
-- Simone Weil
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
- Jack Kerouac, On the Road
"kisses are a better fate than wisdom"
- e.e. cummings

"I never need to find time to read. When people say to me, ‘Oh, yeah, I love reading. I would love to read, but I just don’t have time,’ I’m thinking, ‘How can you not have time?’ I read when I’m drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when I’m sitting in the bathroom. Pretty much anywhere I can do the job one-handed, I read."
-- J.K. Rowling
