some stories don't
have a clear beginning,
middle, and end. life
is about not knowing,
having to change,
taking the moment and
making the best of it,
without knowing what's
going to happen next.
delicious ambiguity...

delicious ambiguity. mmm. perfection.
last week i got home at two in
the morning knowing i had to be back
at work at 8 am.
and it was this quote messaged
to me by camilla
that kept me going.

xx.
had a terrible terrible day. and then i read this post. and let me just tell you, it came at exactly the right time. xo
i think i'm a nerd because i instantly thought of this quote from lord of the rings, my favorite movie perhaps:
"Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.
haha yes i'm a NERD.
love you girl!
Beautiful quote. Exactly what I needed. I am always trying to fit my life into a nice story line and it gets exhausting sometimes.
Love.
I am in love with this quote. It's something that I need to hear right now. :]

What a great quote. Delicious ambiguity sums up life perfectly!!
And I love the Lord of Rings quote Kara!! Best book :)
Ah, perfect quote for this Wednesday morning of mine. :)
I love a good quote!
i just love the way you offer a wonderfully profound quote with your own equally profound insight. so much so that i copied it. do you mind?
This probably wasn't what you had in mind, but I've often wanted to write a story/novel that didn't have a beginning/middle/end like most of them do. I'd like to write one that meandered and didn't make sense (such as life is). I'm not sure it would be very readable, but it might be interesting to try. ;)
