Lulay

I miss Lulay most days. Every time I think about her, tears well up and fills me with melancholy and happiness at the same time. I know that she's in my heart and will always be there. I miss her a lot.

Endings.

Dearest Sweetie,
 
Read this anytime you thought that you won't meet anyone....He didn’t like you and it's still hard to hear. And yes he broke your heart in a million little pieces but your worth better. Those early morning hookups, the random calls, the broken promises were nothing, yeah they were fun and that was it. Don’t ignore the fact that sometimes the memories will come by...move on. Wallowing does no good, and the memory is important. So yes, keep those lovely memories with you, because it is very unlikely your future husband will love Vanessa Paradis, Frank Sinatra as much as you do. And if he does, because he will be the best man for you and make you extremely satisfied and happy, look back with a smile at those times. Because you loved them. And they killed you but they were great. Sitting together watching tv, flirting with him. There were good times and you were friends but that is it. And he broke your heart but it will only make you love someone even more, because he won’t do that to you.

Gretchen, you’re beautiful and worth it. Mov. Love you.

Wisdom from Audrey

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe in Pink. I believe that HAPPY GIRLS are the PRETTIEST GIRLS. I believe that tomorrow is another day. I believe in MIRACLES. - Audrey Hepburn :)

Enthusiasm is the electricity of life. How do you get it? You act enthusiastic until you make it a habit. ~Gordon Parks

Everyday. I choose happiness.

So so many—all the '30s romances. Carole Lombard, Jean Harlow, '40 film noirs, Ida Lupino, '60s with The Graduate, Anne Bancroft, Bonnie and Clyde…Faye Dunaway….Brigitte Bardot, Monica Vitti—all the beautiful and wonderful female actresses....there are too many to list. As for music, ALL old jazz: Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Bix Beiderbecke, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller….all the greats. The Beatles, Stones, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Tim Buckley, Mozart, Chopin, Bach…see, this list is way too long."
