What Moving On Is Like. Moving on is not like a birthday, you can’t count down the hours ‘til it arrives and you can’t mark it on a calendar and you can’t call up your friends to help you celebrate.
You can’t plan for it and you can’t conclude it by blowing out a candle. When moving on happens there will be no announcements, no notifications, no congratulations. There will be no parade; only you will know. Moving on is like aging that way, if aging happened backward. If the passing of days made you new and young, if your condition only had room to improve. Moving on is like this: one day you forget the taste. Moving on is not like beginning a new chapter, it’s like beginning a new book — with each turned page, the last story you read fades into the background. Moving on is waking up without a sour feeling in your stomach, looking at a familiar menu and ordering something different, taking the direct route to a destination and not the one that crosses a path you once set in stone.
Things To Think About Before You Start Hating Someone. Everyone has an Achilles heel.
Everyone has that one thing that can cut them off at the knees, that wipes away the smug tweets and the happy Facebook photos that they’ve so carefully cultivated throughout the years. It reduces you to a puddle of vulnerability, a feeling of being completely exposed. The rug is out from under you and you’ve landed on your face. No matter how far you’ve come or how much has changed, this is the one thing that can bring you right back.
For most people, they usually come in the form of ex-lovers or family. Everyone has been rejected. Everyone poops. Everyone needs to be held and have their lips kissed and privates rubbed and someone to tell them that everything’s going to be okay. People go through the same stuff. (Of course, in some cases, a person deserves your hatred. This too shall pass. History[edit] The phrase appears in the works of Persian Sufi poets, such as Sanai and Attar of Nishapur.[1] Attar records the fable of a powerful king who asks assembled wise men to create a ring that will make him happy when he is sad, and vice versa. After deliberation the sages hand him a simple ring with the words "This too will pass" etched on it, which has the desired effect.[1] Jewish folklore often casts Solomon as either the king humbled by the adage, or as the one who delivers it to another.
Many versions of the folktale have been recorded by the Israel Folklore Archive at the University of Haifa.[2] In some versions the phrase is simplified even further, appearing as only the Hebrew letters gimel, zayin, and yodh, which begin the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" (Hebrew: גם זה יעבור, gam zeh yaavor), "this too shall pass.

What matters most to you Interactive public art project that invites people to share their personal aspirations in public.
After losing someone she loved and falling into depression, Chang created this experiment on an abandoned house in her neighborhood to create an anonymous place to help restore perspective and share intimately with her neighbors. The project gained global attention and thanks to passionate people around the world, over 1000 Before I Die walls have now been created in over 70 countries, including Kazakhstan, Iraq, Haiti, China, Ukraine, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, Argentina, and South Africa. The walls are an honest mess of the longing, pain, joy, insecurity, gratitude, fear, and wonder you find in every community, and they reimagine public spaces that nurture honesty, vulnerability, trust and understanding.
The Before I Die book is a celebration of these walls and the stories behind them. Challenged cartoon by Stuart McMillen - Recombinant Records. Seal meets girl. Seal falls in love with girl. The end. Quotes. Creativity.
