Distance can ruin even the best of intentions. But I suppose it depends on how you look at it. Distance just adds a richness you would not otherwise get. People come. People go. They will drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their stories and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones. Not the ones from the past. Nicholas Sparks
About This Quote

I am not sure if it's true or not but I think that people sometimes get so used to the things around them that they don't see the beauty in all of the things around them anymore. They can get so used to something that they stop seeing it for what it really is. We are so used to words like 'love' and 'hate' that we don't even think about using these words anymore. We see them on TV or hear them on the radio but we don't feel it in our hearts. Every once in a while something comes along that reminds us how to feel, what they truly mean.
