The Stuff of Souls
One day you’ll find him. Someone who can peer right into your mind. This person will be meant for you. No matter how hard you try to talk yourself out of love, this human will remain in your thoughts, your heart. You will want to spend the rest of your days by his side. Traveling the world with him sounds like the most beautiful thing. Spending nights under the stars gives you shivers. So don’t let this person go, whenever you find him. After all, he’s more yourself than you are. Whatever souls are made of, yours are the same.

I Wish
I wish I could tell her.
I wish I could touch her face.
I wish she was still the innocent girl I knew.
I wish she was mine for forever and a day.
I wish I wasn't such a fool.
I wish she hadn't left me alone and cold in this hard world.
I wish I could hold her just one last time.
I wish she could have read my mind.
I wish her lips still moved with happiness.
I wish she had waited only for me.
I wish she had stayed joyous with in.
Oh how I love you my sweet, sweet Catherine.
I wish I could touch her face.
I wish she was still the innocent girl I knew.
I wish she was mine for forever and a day.
I wish I wasn't such a fool.
I wish she hadn't left me alone and cold in this hard world.
I wish I could hold her just one last time.
I wish she could have read my mind.
I wish her lips still moved with happiness.
I wish she had waited only for me.
I wish she had stayed joyous with in.
Oh how I love you my sweet, sweet Catherine.

Happiness from Passion
"Do what makes you successful."
"Go to college to get a job."
"Read this to be well cultured."
"Wear these clothes."
"Eat this food."
"Vote for this person."
Culture has made us a generation of rule followers. Those who push buttons or contradict authority are wrong for society. Greed has overrun us. All we want are the big cars and the fancy houses but so many lose their life along the way. We all get so concerned with success that we forget what we actually loved in the first place. When we look back over our lives we won't remember the days we made the most money. We will remember the days that we laughed the hardest and made us the happiest. Instead of going down the set track that seems to be the only thing of importance today, do what makes you happy.
Catherine married for money, for status, for security. But she knew the man that made her heart glad wasn't Edgar, it was Heathcliff. After all the time she had spent obsessing over image and appearance as a sophisticated lady, it took one look into Heathcliff's eyes to remind her of her happiness. The kind of happiness that doesn't come from materials but, rather, from the soul.
Don't be like Catherine. Follow the heart and do what gives you joy because no one ever regrets happiness.
