GURLLL don't even bring him up. You gave me the chills with his name.

me.

 American Fan:
Oh my. You need a clone of you, haha.

oh my god , imagine. that will be too much PDA. i would literally get up and walk out if i was anywhere near, not caring if i was rude or not 

Day 3. Share a quote/poem/haiku that best reflects the inner "YOU". Include author's name if possible:

I have two quotes in mind from one of my favorite movies called Wonder.

"When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind."

and

"Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. And if you really wanna see what people are, all you have to do is look."

 Emrys:
“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”    
  ―      Virginia Woolf,

I love this!! I save special-to-me quotes, so I'm entering this into my notebook, with a comment that I got it from you!

Interestingly, it kinda ties into what RX said about his home being his mind and source of strength.

This reminds me of the struggle I just experienced during my visit with family last week. A young couple in my family were all over each other the WHOLE time, including kissing! Can I say AWKWARD & totally, completely uncomfortable?!? I really wanted the parents to take them aside and tell them to knock it off. TG it was for only one day and not the entire week.

Great words!! 

I love this question and can't wait to read everyone's post!

Thanks, I really didn't expect you'd like it. I just shared a quote I really like in hopes it describes me somehow. I do value freedom a lot and if there is no physical freedom, then the freedom of mind is always there. At least that's what I understand from this quote.

A big smile for you! :-)

AUGUST CHALLENGE - DAY 3 - QUOTE/POEM/HAIKU

I'm really passionate about this topic, so I hope everyone won't mind if I overshare by posting more than one three. I honestly felt stressed choosing just one or two. We can write as much as we want, so I am LOL.

I found this quote long ago and it's closest to my heart and the "inner" me.

"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly. "One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

- Hans Christian Andersen

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Another favorite...

Someone asked, "How can I be free?"

Shintou replied, "Who has put you in bondage?"

I save favorite cookie fortunes and here are two of my best:

"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach  it." - Salvadore Dali

"Don't be afraid of opposition; remember, a kite rises against the wind."

Lastly, I'm no writer for sure, but one day these little sentences came to me and I liked them.

A flower opens

A bird sings

The heart gladdens

Nature is hope.

***

Early morning

lying awake still

mind wandering

truth visits me.

- both by yours truly :-)

AUGUST CHALLENGE - DAY 3 - QUOTE/POEM/HAIKU 

Alone

by Edgar Allan Poe
(published 1875)

 

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were -- I have not seen
As others saw -- I could not bring
My passions from a common spring --
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow -- I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone --
And all I lov'd -- I lov'd alone --
Then -- in my childhood -- in the dawn
Of a most stormy life -- was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still --
From the torrent, or the fountain --
From the red cliff of the mountain --
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold --
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by --
From the thunder, and the storm --
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view --

 Simi_Tutu:
It is too hot for her, haha. It's thundering and lighting outright; I'm guessing it's pouring. LOL. Sounds like it is. We need the rain because it's been way too hot for my liking. Here in New York, the humidity has felt like 100.

Same, the heat  is honestly too much- I hate London weather :(

 American Fan:
Oh my. You need a clone of you, haha.

That'd be too much for the world lmao XD
