signatures
you know... like in letters... the final part before you sign your name. as in
always,
my name
love,
your name
it's my favorite part of letters these days. letters, emails, whatever. sometimes the content is just keeping up with what's going on in daily life, venting frustrations, or just making the effort to stay connected. sometimes information can be dry with no mention of who you're even talking to or what they mean to you. if you're not explicitly talking about your relationship or anything like that, the letter could be pretty generic, who knows who you're actually addressing. and then there's the signature. it's so telling.
if a business letter, you sign
Sincerely,
if it's to a friend, you might do something fun like
can't wait to see you!
or the generic
always,
what does that mean anyway? always... always what? i suppose it could be always be there for you. or always loving you, but you're really left up in the air with that one. i gotta stop using that signature. it's so vague. it could very well be always breathing for all you know.
i like to sign some heartfelt letters, especially to those who share the same faith with me, as
with God's love and mine,
i dunno where i picked that up from, but i like it.
or to the dazers (it's spelled like this guys. like a play on the word daze)
basta ikaw,
and then there are the love letters. again, if the person you're writing to is far away and you're really just updating each other to keep up with each other's lives, to make it seem like you're part of it, then sometimes the letters are daily updates. so what makes it a love letter? ...ah, it's the signature.
with love,
yours truly,
it can become more descriptive of course with
missing you,
affectionately,
with tender kisses,
until we meet again
and even tagalog-movie-soap-opera-like:
yearning for the sweet sensation of your loving embrace,
...oh goodness, heheh!
maybe i'm reading too much into it, but it's the part that i appreciate most these days. it's just nice to read what you mean to that person. s/he could write with friendship, or s/he could write with love,. i guess it goes along with what i mentioned earlier with telling the people around you how you feel about them. amidst all the business that the content of letters may have, the signature is what tells the relationship and tells how significant you are to that person. tells you you're speyshall. and heck, everyone likes to feel speyshall. so hey, thanx for making me feel speyshall.

quotable quotes
-
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
