Napoleon to Josephine

Processed with VSCO with c5 preset

I have your letter, my adorable love. It has filled my heart with joy…since I left you I have been sad all the time. My only happiness is near you. I go over endlessly in my thought your kisses, your tears, your delicious jealousy. The charm of my wonderful Josephine kindles a living, blazing fire in my heart and senses.

When shall I be able to pass every minute near you, with nothing to do but to love you and nothing to think of but the pleasure of telling you of it and giving you proof of it? I have loved you some time ago; since then I feel that I love you a thousand times better. Ever since I have known you I adore you more every day. That proves how wrong is that saying of La Bruyere “Love comes all of a sudden.”

Ah, let me see some of your faults; be less beautiful, Less graceful, less tender, less good. But never be jealous and never shed tears. Your tears send me out of my mind they set my very blood on fire. Believe me that it is utterly impossible for me to have a single thought that is not yours, a single fancy that is not submissive to your will. Rest well. Restore your health. Come back to me and then at any rate before we die we ought to be able to say:”We were happy for so very many days!” Millions of kisses even to your dog.

Who did you meet at the most beautiful time?

Looking back on those previous issues,

those loves just like

some meteors highlight our life.

We always like to scale of our destiny

making us separation

But actually the real truth which affects us

is the opportunities

of we meeting or feeling in love

with each other.

But actually the real truth which affects us

is the opportunities

of we meeting or feeling in love

with each other.

If we recognize each other earlier,

maybe some of us

can’t tie the finger with other else,

or recognize later,

till us had learned how to consider

and take care of the other,

perhaps as we held our hand tightly,

we would never loose it again.

If you love someone

but can’t get together with him or her,

except to treasure a drop of tear

from your inner heart and

go away without a word,

what else can we choose?

Among thousands and hundreds of people,

we could encounter our lover.

It’s really a destiny!

And more,

we just miss and miss

between each other.

After so much sigh and grief again and again,

we finally understand that even a couple of lover,

also need the time to come to temper.

This wild world

has so many changes and separation

that couldn’t been predicated,

maybe we would miss each other

in a lifetime just for turning around.

Since till some years later,

We just could know all our efforts

can not beat down a God’s joke.

It’s helpless as you meet a guy

who is not right for you

in an unsuitable moment.

It’s the sigh as you meet a guy

who is right for you

in an unsuitable moment.

It’s sad as you meet a guy

who is not right for you

in a suitable moment.

It’s happy as you meet a guy

who is right for you

in a suitable moment.

What kind of person you are, you deserve the kind of love

One thing you simply cannot ignore about your relationship is that there is another person in your life. Your partner is someone you have to care for, think about regularly, support and comfort.

If you are not fulfilling these duties, your partner will feel neglected and hurt. Relationships can feel strained when you are neither confident in yourself nor feel personal self-worth.

This is when you might feel overly dependent on a relationship, have low self-esteem and experience anxiety.

So, what can you do when you feel yourself slipping into this pattern of emotional outbursts, self-doubt and dependency? Take time to self-reflect on your own life goals and ambitions.

If tomorrow your partner was out of the equation, would you still feel content in the other areas of your life? If your goal is to look and feel healthier, set aside the time to exercise, meditate and eat well.

If your goal is to switch jobs, start meeting with recruiters and networking. Making strides in your own life will allow you to be more present for someone else.

Feeling emotionally dependent on your partner is comparable to that dreadful feeling of heartbreak when a relationship collapses.

That pressure you experience on your chest feels permanent, you feel confused and overwhelmed. You constantly feel hopeless and alone, even when your partner is in the room.

It is as if nothing anyone says or does is enough. This is because nothing anyone does can give you enough unless you feel love for yourself.

Why did I decide to marry this man after three days?

3 nights ago a human being changed my world forever.

His name is Shane and I can’t believe I found him.

We’ve been dating for about 4 months now and every day seems to be better then the last.

From his sense of humor, to his amazing interests to his warm smile

he’s wonderful and cute.

But it wasn’t until 3 nights ago that I realized how in love with him I am

because of a single act of kindness.

We were having date night and he’s trying to suprise me with a salsa class.

He heard me say on our first date I always found dancing amazing

and wanted to be a ballet dancer when I was young

but I never got the chance.

Now at 29 I figure salsa or something would be more fun.

So he decided to sign us up and we would begin classes.

On our walk we were about to get on the subway until it happened.

I was talking and I kept noticing he was looking over at someone not listening.

Finally he said I’m sorry babe can you give me a second I need to check something.

He walks over to a young girl maybe 19-20 years old

who was crying on a bench in the subway.

As I approached I realized she was homeless for some time

and all she had was a single bag.

She said to him all she wanted to do was to go home.

He asked where she lived and it wasn’t even in the city.

She was in need and looked scared.

So in this moment many would either hand some money over or wish her luck or maybe let her make a call.

Shane did much more.

He pulls me aside looks me right in the eyes and says

“Kelly I can’t leave her here like this.“

I know it’s weird but I’ve been really down before too

and sometimes people just need someone to not only help

but believe they’re telling the truth.

He said would u mind if postponed and help her?

I said of course no so the journey began.

We went to two women’s shelters with her
and to no avail they weren’t taking anymore people.

It was a bit cold and well we’re not the richest people with our student loans

so we really couldn’t afford to pay for a hotel room in the city.

So Shane with his trusting heart of gold says would I mind spending the night at his place and asking her to stay with us.

He figured she would feel comfortable with a girl asking her

if she’d like to spend the night and we’d figure it out in the morning.

I mean here I am with a guy I’m starting to fall for

and he’s willing to bring a stranger in for the night out of the cold.

When I asked her she truly weeped and thanked me a million times

but little did she know it wasn’t my idea and honestly I’d of never of done this.

But he has this gravity about him that just pulls you in.

We get to Shane’s house and I have some clothes there

so I gave her some stuff that would fit and let her get a shower.

In the meantime Shane ordered pizza

and when she came out he made her feel so cozy like he’d known her for 100 years.

We ate pizza, we played a board game, we laughed

and then he made her hot tea and we watched his favorite movie The Big Lebowski.

He made the couch up for her and we went to bed.

In the morning he made us all breakfast and then told us he’d be right back.

He said he was getting us good coffee.

He comes back

and she was finally able to get a hold of her sister on someone’s phone in her home town

and she had a place to go.

Shane drives her to the bus station and buys her a ticket and hands her an envelope.

Here I found out, when asking where he was today, he’d gone down to the pawn shop

and pawned his iPad to give her 120 bucks to get home

This man gave his home, his time, his care, his money and his food to a complete stranger.

He trusted her that she wanted to go home and just needed help.

He changed how I view the world and in that moment I fell so deeply in love with him.

I don’t even know how to show him what this meant to me but I know I will become more like him.

Happiness comes from your heart, no need for him

We all live our lives, placing our happiness on diverse objects, sometimes on people, and sometimes on priorities.
But the question is, what do we do, when they are all gone?
We fail to realize that our happiness is an inward thing, and that it should be created from the inside of us.
A lot of us have gone heartbroken on several occasions because our sources of happiness are gone from us.
Happiness would never seize from you, when you place it on the ‘self’ factor, and when all you see in the picture is nobody and nothing else but your own self.
Someone once asked me, don’t you ever get angry?
I smiled and replied; where will the anger come from… The reason being; I’ve permanently succeeded in blocking all the possible chances for anyone or anything to make me feel bad.
When you create a inward happiness source, you’re creating an inward security against pain, sorrow, or tears of all sort.
Most times, the misplacement of your happiness source can lead to real life issues that might even end up killing you.
‘ve met a lot people who got depressed, who incubated low self-esteem because they misplaced their sources of happiness.
To create happiness from your inside, you must learn to always love yourself, give credit to yourself when necessary, before anyone gets to criticizes you, be your number one critic, smile off negativity and always remind yourself that you are your number one happiness.

Listening to sad songs will make the mood better

We’ve all turned to melancholy music to make us feel better at some point in our lives, but why does doubling down on the sadness help drag us out of the mire?
A new study sheds light on what’s going on inside our brains when we match our music to our feels, and it looks like sad music can be enjoyable – rather than simply depressing – because it triggers positive memories that can help to lift our mood.
Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there are two groups of possible explanations for why we enjoy listening to sad music like this: one from social psychology, and one from cognitive neuroscience.
In terms of social psychology, one way of thinking about this is that we feel better about ourselves if we focus on someone who’s doing even worse, a well-known process known as downward social comparison. Everything’s going to be okay, because this person is having an even worse day than you are.
Another hypothesis from social psychology is that people like to listen to music that mirrors the tone of their current life circumstances – the songs act as a sort of tuning fork for our own situations, and they resonate with us.

Give love, you will reap love

Several years ago, I was deploying overseas so I decided to leave my black cat Larry with my mother.
It was hard. Because I love my cat so much. I couldn’t imagine living without him.
But I had to do that.
Plus, my mother had been feeling alone lately, and I hoped he would change that.
Those days were difficult, because Larry was already like a son to me.
I asked mother to share video of Larry online as frequently as possible.
After two years, I was ready to get him back.
Before I could do that, I got a call from my mother.
She said she had fallen asleep earlier and woke up to him on her chest, meowing and pushing her face.
He had never done that before.
She smelled something funny, jumped out of bed, and found the kitchen on fire.
Oh God, my mom is alive because of Larry. He had been protecting us in his way. He really sees us as his family.
I guess this is what love is. It doesn’t matter whether you are a human or a cat. You give love and you get love.
And I know that Larry loves us, just like we love him.
Oh, by the way, he’s my mother’s now. She just couldn’t leave Larry after that.
And I’m totally OK with it.

Only time to understand the value of love

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave .
Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, can I come with you on your boat?” Richness answered, “I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing by in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please!” “I can’t help you,” Vanity said, “You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.”
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please let me go with you.” Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I just need to be alone now.”
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, “Happiness, please take me with you.” But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love, I will take you with me.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked, “Who was it that helped me?” “It was Time,’ Knowledge answered. “But why did Time help me when no one else would? “Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.

It’s nice that someone still loves you

I was in college
and was sleeping deeply in my dorm room bed
after a rough day of classes.
Suddenly,
I heard the door open
and light from the hallway streamed in.
My best friend and roommate
was standing there unsteadily.
His girlfriend had broken up with him
earlier that day
and he had spent the evening
downtown in a bar
trying to drown his sorrows with 13 whiskey sours.
I got up
and helped him to climb up into the bunk bed
above me.
He didn’t look so good.
His face was whiter than normal
and he could barely walk.
After fending off some idiots on our floor
who tried to get him to go back downtown
for more drinking
I finally got him to lay down.
After a minute
he said he was going to be sick.
I managed to get him to the bathroom
down the hall
but he couldn’t throw up.
I walked him slowly back to bed
and got him into the top bunk again.
I was just about to drift back off to sleep
when I heard it:
retching followed by 13 whiskey sours
splashing on his sheets.
I got him off the bed again,
stripped his sheets
and helped him back up once more.
I was wary of another splash down
but soon
I heard his gentle snoring.
I couldn’t really be mad at him, though.
After all,
he just wanted what we all wanted:
“To be Loved.”
Over the decades that followed
I started to realize a few things too.
I learned that
the best way to be loved
was to be loving.
And I learned that
the best way to be loving
was to realize that
you were already loved.
Open your life
and let your love out.
The greatest gift we can ever get
is to be loved
and the greatest gift we can ever give
is to be loving.
And the truth is,
they are one and the same.
