Still hoping

A quote from Haruki Murakami (my favorite author) which I got from tumblr:

“But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have for happiness where you find it, and not worry too much about other people. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a lifetime, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”

You are my happiness and I should grab on to you.

Another one:

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there’s salvation in life. Even if you can’t get together with that person.”

I know, chances are you can never be mine. But I'll hold on to the other chance.

And probably a last quote from the same source:

“A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.”

A friend told me that in order to love others, love thyself first. This proves her wrong. Love is about growth and learning. It's a social process where self is developed. And I strongly believe in that.
