Enjoy Life

It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy

things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.

—L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Rise about the clouds

I want to tear myself from this place,

from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away,

 melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far,

over the hills.

 

But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete,

my lungs empty of air, my throat burning.

There will be no floating away.

 

 

—Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
