The little things in life

I'm sure all our parents told us at some point in time that though money gives you security, it isn't everythimg.
It can't buy love and it can't buy happiness.
We all know this, but nothing is as earth shattering as the day you realise just how true it is.
The day you first hold that one special person's hand.
The day you wake up next to them for the first time and realise you want to wake up next to them every morning for the rest of your life.
You play over every kiss, every touch over and over in your mind, and it feels like you're flying when you think about them.
Your heart goes absolutely crazy when someone mentions their name.
Everytime you look into their eyes you see your whole future in them.
You dream about the children you'll have together.
Maybe a cute little baby daughter named Kara...that's my dream.

All this can be yours for the great price of...wait for it...absolutely nothing.
Free it may be though, but it doesn't mean all of us gets to be with the one we love.
Even all the money in the world won't be able to buy it, though I'd give up everything I own and more...

Point of view

Something I see quite often is professional photographers making all kinds of snide remarks about every monkey with a slr thinking they're a photographer.
Guess they're pretty close to the truth.
It takes more than a paintbrush or a camera to be an artist.
You've got to see the world in a different way, a way that no one else sees it.
This is especially true for photographers.
A painter has his own style of painting, but a photographer only has a button to press so he really needs to make his view on the world special.
Life is simmilar, I've found.
We all have sadness and hardships that cross our paths, yet there are those of us blessed with a view on the world that can bring most things in a good light.
I'm afraid I'm not very good at that kind of thing though.
A friend once told me that my heart may be in the right place and made of solid gold, but the way I.see the world poisons me.
And in the end I will poison those around me too if I cannotchange that.
A good soul is a weak soul.
I get hurt so easily and at some time I always lash back at it.
But I have so much to be greatful for.
God has given me an unlimited ability for absorbing other's pain.
I try to help where I can because that's where I find pleasure and happiness the easiest.
Maybe one day I too will be blessed with unconditional love and happiness.
