Book: Before

I am reminded of a book in which the inhabitants of one town vowed not to apologize to their neighbors anymore. It turned out funny, because they found out that in ninety percent of cases they ask for forgiveness when they don't even have wine on them.

Everyone in life has a person in whose company you feel better.

Why seek approval from someone I hate? To heighten your sense of self-importance?

Sometimes you just want to isolate yourself from the world, and this is where music and books help.

She is my comfort, my fire, my pain. It really doesn't matter that we had to pass, the current life is worth every moment.

As soon as their lips touched for the first time, he felt - felt like somewhere deep down under a layer of dust, something moved. That asleep a very long time. She woke him up, gave him a light and laughter, passion; since then, he's changed forever.

He has become what become never expected. The energy of anger sent in creative direction, began to write, began to feel proud. The reason for that was Tessa, and he was ready to fall at her feet non-stop thank. She stayed with him while both were good, and then gave time to understand life. I stood by him whatever he chose, month after month, and he hasn't disappointed.

He has come a long way and has changed. Suffered love in a different, higher and more subtle level, able to understand. In his eyes the girl he loved, who took in the little hands, his heart, became a woman, a mother. Nothing better than just could not be... Until she became a mother for the second time after giving birth to a son.
Children grow up, the man and woman felt younger, falling in love each other every day again.
He felt happy, incredibly proud of what kind of life they built together. He just doesn't believe in your own luck.

My world turned from nothing into everything and I'm proud of myself. In the eyes of children I see my own light, in their laughter sounds my happiness. Family, of which I never dreamed - my blessing. Children will grow and become much better than me.
