| I have lost interest in updating this..
I might start again one day, but I doubt it'll be anytime soon. | | |
| Every update will have a song title,
it's good to be back. It’s laughing with your friend at a time when you shouldn’t. It’s the sweat in your palms wanting to know someone you see and the pit in your stomach when they actually see you. It’s being touched by hands that aren’t your own. It’s the thrill of an escape that almost wasn’t. It’s the embarrassment you feel, naked for the first time. It’s helping a friend find something they lost. It’s a smile, a joke, a song. It’s what someone does that they like doing. It’s what someone does that they like remembering. It’s the thinking of things you may never do and the doing of things you may never have thought. It’s the road ahead and the road behind. It’s the first step and the last and every one in between, because they all make up the good life.-The Good Life You have the Answer. Just get quiet enough to hear it. -Pat Obuchowski I believe in the sun even when its not shining, in love even when I'm alone and in God even when He is silent. -Written on a basement wall in Nazi Germany, where a Jewish refugee had been hiding from agents of the Holocaust Everything you do is triggered by an emotion of either desire or fear.— Brian Tracy Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. –Epicurus Go be that starving Artist you’re afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world. You’ll thank yourself for it.-Jason Mraz time was passing like a hand waving from a train i wanted to be on. i hope you never think about anything as much as i think about you. -jonathan safran foer Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes, you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you’ll find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding, but there’s also that chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along.-Bride Wars Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values. -Dalai Lama When you are looking to meet someone, you are looking to settle. Because you are not looking for someone, you are looking for anyone — Lauren Conrad I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.— Theodore Isaac Rubin There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
-C.S. Lewis There is no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt it’s force, it’s not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
-Arnold Bennett
Love cannot survive if you just give scraps of yourself, scraps of your time, and scraps of your thoughts.
-Mary O’Hara If there is no passion in your life, then have you ever really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you, and you will find that great things will happen for you, to you, and because of you.
-T. Alan Armstrong | | |
| hmm, so a few things have happened since i last updated. my ex came back in my life, he told me he wanted to marry me. but we are, of course, fighting again so i think that's pretty much over. i'm a senior now. my cell phone broke. i got in a car accident, my brand new car is wrecked, and i have a sprained spine/neck, much like a sprained ankle - but you can't physically see it. so i have been going to a chiropractor for a 2-week plan, she is starting treatment on me tomorrow which i am scared about, because for the past 2 days i've just been doing diathermy.
i think that's about it...update time! 1. Girls were born knowing how destructive the truth could be. They learned to hold it in, tamp it down, like gunpowder in an old fashioned gun. Then it exploded in your face, on a November day in the rain.
— Janet Fitch
 2. I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.
-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche  3. If we listened to our intellect we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go in business because we’d be cynical: “It’s gonna go wrong.” Or “She’s going to hurt me.” Or, “I’ve had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore …” Well, that’s nonsense. You’re going to miss life. You’ve got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.
-Ray Bradbury 
4. It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.
— Nick Hornby  5. I don't like being single, no. I live this fantastic life, full of all these magical things, and at the end of the day all I want to do is pick up my phone and share it with someone. The other day I'd sold a million records in the U.S. and I didn't have anyone to tell. It was actually a really lonely moment.
-Katy Perry 
6. Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you.-William P. Young, The Shack  7. what I'm really looking for, is not something I can articulate. It's nonverbal: I need love. I need the thing that happens when your brain shuts off and your heart turns on. And I know it's around me somewhere, but I just can't feel it.— Elizabeth Wurtzel 
8. You know what I think hurts the most? The feeling of being replaced. It’s like no matter what you did, it wasn’t enough. And no matter what you do to try and capture their heart again, doesn’t seem to work. And you’re suddenly left thinking that you’ll never be enough. And a sudden sadness captures your heart that never really leaves. — JoAnne Golden 
9. Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe.
-Winston Churchill 
10. Risk-taking, trust, and serendipity are the key ingredients of joy. Without risk, nothing new ever happens. Without trust, fear creeps in. Without serendipity, there are no surprises.
-Rita Golden Gelman
11. You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose." - Jo Courdert

I think and think and think, I‘ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.
-Jonathan Safran Foer
because when it comes to you, she's just like any other young girl in love. you're all she can see of tomorrow. but i think we both know that there are some hard choices ahead. if she can't make them, you're going to have to. i know you care about her. i just hope you care enough.
-buffy the vampire slayer
The world breaks us all. Afterward, some are stronger at the broken places
- Ernest Hemingway
Dr. Miller says we are pessimistic because life seems like a very bad, very screwed-up film. If you ask "What the hell is wrong with the projector?" and go up to the control room, you find it's empty. You are the projectionist, and you should have been up there all the time.
-Colin Wilson
It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.
-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them - are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soulmate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.
-Marilyn Monroe

The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.
--Charles Kettering
As with anything in life, there's only so far you can push yourself, so high you can climb and so far you can fall. The worst part of all is when you get so close to that peak, the summit you've been reaching toward for so many years and then you fall. You fall so hard and so fast that you can't hold onto anything to stop, you can't even see what you're passing by until you're flat on your ass at the bottom.
-Cadkitten Heroes
Somedays I'm perfectly fine, somedays it hard to suppress the black hole in my stomach, growing bigger till it reaches my throat, eventually filling my entire body with shame, hatred, anguish, affliction. There's nothing I can do to stop it from spreading. It consumes my body like you once consumed my heart. All I can do is wait for its course to run and for my body and mind go back to its original state. I hope one day time will dull my senses enough for me to forget you ever existed. To forget you plagued my life, illuminated my life, gave me breath when I thought I had nothing left to exhale, to take it away when I thought I had a chance to inhale.
-xNicolax
I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.
-H. L. Mencken
Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
-Isak Dinese
I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.
- John Green
I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love.
-- Jonathan Safran Foer
Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
Do you believe in love at first sight? Nah, I betcha don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Or have you ever, like, seen somebody? And you knew that, if only that person really knew you, they would, well, they would of course dump the perfect model that they were with, and realize that YOU were the one that they wanted to, just, grow old with. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you haven't even talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spend the night confusing a man in a coma?
-while you were sleeping
Beauty is only skin deep. I think what`s really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, `Until you`re twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve`, and I really loved that - the idea that you wear who you are on your face.
-Jennifer Lopez
