Amour Fou

Pronunciation: /əˌmʊə ˈfuː, amuʀ fu/

Definition of Amour Fou
noun
1. Wild love. 2. Uncontrollable or obsessive passion.

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of their skin, or his background, or his religion.  People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." 

- Nelson Mandela

"In Mexico they say when a person you love dies, a part of you dies with them.  

But what they forget to mention is that a part of them is also born with you.  

Not immediately, I've learned,  but eventually, and gradually.  

It's an opportunity to be reborn."

- Sandra Cisneros

12/20/2012 - Five things in grateful for today

1) my mom and my sisters. If I didn't have them in my life right now I'd be seriously effed.

2) Him - The highlight of my days.

3) my left foot. Despite the pain its causing me after the surgery, I can only love it and take care of it because its making me a stronger person.

4) My job and my health insurance

5) Percocet and who ever created it.. Without it my current situation would be less managable

I've been meaning to get back to blogging for a minute... so I took some time to fix it up a little. I was even somehow able to transfer some old blog posts from a previous account. I think i'm going to be on here a little more now, but if not, I'll catch you on the flip side.
