How Do I Love Thee?

How Do I Love Thee?

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. 
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; 
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. 

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose, 
I shall but love thee better after death.


 ~ like this poem. How do I love thee :/

Feels like Home

Lyrics | Edwina Hayes - Feels Like Home lyrics I really love this song. It's a song from the movie MY Sisters Keeper. The beach scene was the saddest part because of the song. I cried and I was moved. I realized a lot of things in life. The song is really a good choice. I love this part of the song:     "And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along  And change my life the way you've done" I wonder who's that someone. But I'm pretty much sure HE is always there for me. I'm gonna cry again and I hate it.I hope you like this as much as I do.           crying mode...

The Tailed Beast

The tailed beasts [bijū] are nine giant demons which signifies the plot of Naruto series. They differ by the number of tails they have, from one to nine. The tailed beasts are large, living forms of "Chakra Monsters" (Chakura no Bakemono), giving them power that far outmatches most shinobi. However, this immense strength is tempered due to their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively.  When the tailed beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to speak and better utilize their powers. Akatsuki has been capturing the tailed beasts and their hosts, and as of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War possess seven of the nine beasts. [source] For those who love watching the anime, I’m sure you are familiar with the tailed beast. In Naruto there are actually 9 tailed beasts mentioned. But the original of the entire demon beast is the Ten-tailed beast
