you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

you have to believe that your future matters.
Before you can build positive habits of resolve and commitment,
before you can begin to live into the Japanese proverb,

and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.

Do real life people actually fall in love
with the idea of being in love?
Unfortunately, it is actually quite common.
Someone wants desperately to have
the husband or wife of their dreams.

with the white picket fence.
They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
