Slow down. Stop trying to do everything now, now, now. Hold up the people behind you for all you care, feel them kicking at your heels but maintain your pace. Don't let anybody dictate your speed.

This house isn't mine anymore, but the memories are the memories can't be sold. The building that housed my once-upon-a-time dreams stands for someone else now, as it did for the people before us, and I feel happy to let it go.

Alex: Rosie, I wanted you to be the first person to no that I’ve decided to become a heart surgeon! Rosie: Cool, does it pay well? Alex: Rosie, it’s not about the money. Rosie: Where I come from, it’s all about the money. Probably because I don’t have any.

Life is everything, and you haven't lived it properly until you believe.
Cecelia Ahern
Everything in life has a place, and when one thing moves, it must go somewhere else.
Cecelia Ahern
To mention it was to ask a favor and that as you were too generous, and as for her to ask was always to have, she wouldn't
