“Whatever Marks You Want To Leave For Others In This World, Leave Your Marks”
~ by OneMoreOption
Maybe someday you’ll be rich or famous
Maybe someday you’ll be an artist, if only in your own eyes
Maybe, by the end of this year or the end of this lifetime, you’d like a few more houses to have a newer coat of paint
Maybe you’d like for a few more old cars to be refreshed to their former glory
Maybe you want a few more children to be able to read and write complete sentences
Maybe you want a few more cats to have a safe home
Maybe you’d like to just leave your friends with the memories of your easy laugh
For some people, there is not much they wish to leave behind
For some people, there isn’t much they want to do
Whether you perceive you want to leave for others, a lot or a little, make a list of the things you’d like to leave on this Earth after you’ve gone
Keep the list organic. Add to it and subtract from it as changes come to mind
Leave your marks, no matter how small or unconventional

Love
~ by OneMoreOption
Love is not simply about desiring someone else. It’s not simply about always liking someone else’s company.
Love means you want to do the regular work it takes to support someone else’s emotional, financial, and cognitive well-being.
Love means caring for another person long after realizing there are parts of them you oppose.
Love means being willing to partner with someone who is often not similar to you.
Love is about continuing to accompany someone after it has stopped being easy.
Love communicates its boundaries, and evaluates its boundaries regularly.
Love remains, sometimes even after the person you love has walked away.
Love concedes faults and adapts to the needs of others.
Love does not require living in a closet.
Love does not pervert the concept of “trust” to require each other to agree to tell the same lies.
Love does not fear truths being told.
Love does not err on the side of being considerate of fewer people. It errs on the side of being considerate of more.
