You and I took a special chance
You and I took a special chance the first time we met... we both knew enough of love, and life, to understand that two people don't fall in love, they grow into it, slowly — and we'd both been hurt before by feelings that seemed too easily lost... but there was something between us from the beginning a unique harmony that made us take that special chance...
You and I took a special chance the first time we argued... after feeling hurt and sad, and both of us trying to apologize at the same time for disagreeing over such a small matter, we knew
that our relationship was worth more than anything that might come between us.
We knew after that first time that what we had together would see us through the hard times and make us better appreciate the good, because we took that special chance...
You and I took a special chance the first time we said "I love you"... for we knew that we would share stormy as well as sunny times, laughter ans tears, some dreams that would come beautifully true, and others that would fade in our memories— and we knew in our hearts that our love deserved all the effort we could make to fulfill our life together... for we took that special chance... and found a very special love.
Consider… YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come,
there has never been and will never be anyone just like you.You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that.You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
