And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
-Raymond Carver, Late Fragment

Well, to be perfectly frank, I’m still waiting for David Beckham to call me for a date. But other than that? Absolutely, positively YES.
One of my favorites you’ve ever posted; just saved it in my quotes file. Thank you for always filling my days with beautiful words. xo
This is one of my favourite quotes. I keep a journal, and write it on the first page of each one.
