Believing in optimism
I BELIEVE
That stories outlive their homelands
That the first heartbreak is the worst
In letting people know when they cross your mind
In the power of a good cry every now and then
In colored fingernails, toenails, accessories, and makeup - all at the same time
In not going to bed angry
In giving the benefit of the doubt
Believe it or not, contrary to basically 2/3 of what I've said and how I've acted, I believe in love.
"Fermina," he said, "I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century, to repeat to you once again my vow of eternal fidelity and everlasting love." - Love in the Time of Cholera.
