Endings and Beginnings

"It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings.  We just don't know it at the time."

~ The five people you meet in heaven. 
Mitch Albom.

This feels very relevant to me at the moment...

And most of all I will not grow up...

It’s Autumn. It most certainly is. As I was pottering home from work the other day I had a moment where I just couldn’t resist picking up a few conkers on my walk. I had a minute of being a big kid and it made me feel weirdly childlike and happy. It was lovely. I recommend it! Conkers are still awesome even when you are 22!

"Time may change alot but some things may stay the same
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up..." 

~Frank Turner, Photosynthesis

Brilliant song.

A million little pieces

'It is not complicated unless I make it so. It is not difficult unless I allow it to be. A second is no more than a second, a minute no more than a minute, a day no more than a day. They pass. All things and all time wil pass. Don't force or fear. Don't control or lose control. Don't fight and don't stop fighting. Embrace and endure. If you embrace, you will endure.'  
~ James Frey. A million little pieces. ~

Sent to me by Tanya, it deserved a post on my blog.  I think the quote itself says it all.
