Dorian's Story
Dorian's schools include Collierville High School.
One of Dorian's favorite quotes is:""Discontent is a sin that is its own punishment and makes men torment themselves; it makes the spirit sad, the body sick, and all the enjoyments sour; it ...is the heaviness of the heart and the rottenness of the bones. It is a sin that is its own parent. It arises not from the condition, but from the mind." Matthew Henry
Don't ever give up if you still want to try,
Don't ever wipe your tears if you still want to cry.
Don't ever settle for an answer if you still want to know.
Don't ever say you don't love her if you can't let her go ♥
"You don't have to say that you miss me. You don't even have to say that you love me. I know that we will always be. The we that you refuse to see."
"Letting go doesn't mean giving up...but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be."
Depression, when it’s clinical, is not a metaphor. It runs in families, and it’s known to respond to medication and to counseling. However truly you believe there’s a sickness to existence that can never be cured, if you’re depressed you will sooner or later surrender and say: I just don’t want to feel bad anymore. The shift from depressive realism to tragic realism, from being immobilized by darkness to being sustained by it, thus strangely seems to require believing in the possibility of a cure…
-Jonathan Franzen
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. -Carl Jung
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
-Jean de La Fontaine
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. -Kahlil Gibran
My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune.
Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in Heaven, where the love of our lost ones pours down through and shines, to let us know they are happy.
-Inspired by Eskimo Legend
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to...Expand for more
know it's me.
And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. -Jesus Matt. 28:20
You think you're this big star, well maybe you are. Because when you get right down to it, a star ain't nothin' but a big ball of GAS. -Dolly Parton in Rhinestone
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
I cannot relive yesterday and tomorrow has not yet come, so I will just deal with today.
It's HARD to be overweight.
It's HARD to lose weight.
It's HARD to maintain weight loss.
You just have to pick your HARD!
"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become "here," you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
If time is all we have, then why is there never enough?
-Kristi Kuhn Daum
"I've always been old. Ya' know what though, I don't mind. I mean if my muscles ache, it's because I've used 'em. It's hard for me to walk up them steps now, its 'cuz I walked up 'em every night to lay next to a man who loved me. I got a few wrinkles here and there, but I've layed under thousands of skies with sunny days. I lived and I loved, danced, sang, and sweat my way thorough a pretty good life if you ask me. Getting old
ain't bad. Getting old, that's earned."
"At sea, the motion never stops. Slowly your body develops a rhythm with the boat. Your cluttered world narrows to the simplicity of sky, wind and sea. Slowly, you become still."
"When you leave familiar ground and step off alone into a new place there will be feelings of curiosity and excitement, as well as a nagging dread. It is an experience of essential loneliness; but nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone."
"Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go."
“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
"Don't carry your mistakes around with you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones to rise above them."".
