&& I want life in every word, to the extent that it’s absurd

Funny how time && distance change you
the road you take don’t always lead you home
you can start a love with good intentions
then you look up and it’s gone.

Forgive
and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very
practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When
someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores
are never settled… old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for,
is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.



It is better to be happy for a moment
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
and be bored all the while.
– Helen Keller

Every new beginning
comes from some other beginnings end.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation,
 because your character is what you really are,
while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
– John Wooden quotes



“What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks disappearing? – It’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”-On the Road, Jack Kerouac

“Promise me you’ll always remember: you’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” -Winne the Pooh

There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors.– Tennessee Williams

Why do we trust one another so little? I know there must be a reason, but still I sometimes think it’s horrible that you find you can never really confide in people, even in those who are nearest to you.– Anne Frank

“Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” – Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit


“Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on.”
– John Lennon,

I thought I knew what love
was What did I know?
Those days are gone forever,
I should just let them go.”

Good judgment comes from experience.
And often experience comes from bad judgment

“Someone else’s boy, I have hope for you,
That you will keep your love for the world,
Even though it beats you down, every day,
For the rest of your stay”

“People are afraid of themselves,
of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how
great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are
disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can
they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us
up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something
to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of
pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a
feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel
ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your
reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
-Jim Morrison

“There are things that used to make me laugh.. but now they’re deeply buried in the past. .. Remember when I said I loved you? Well, forget it, I take it back. I was just a stupid kid back then.”

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

People change so that you can learn to let go,

things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right,

you believe less so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,

and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together

Most cynics are really crushed romantics:

they’ve been hurt,  they’re sensitive,

and their cynicism is a shell that’s protecting this tiny,

dear part in them that’s still alive.

Remember not only to say
the right thing in the right
place, but far more difficult
still, to leave unsaid the wrong
thing at the tempting moment
-Benjamin Franklin

Staying home alone on a Friday. Flat on the floor looking back. On old love. Or lack thereof. After all the crushes are faded, and all my wishful thinking was wrong. I’m jaded. I hate it.

Yes, something’s wrong,
that restless feeling’s been preying on my mind.
When things get bad
I’m bound to pack my bags and just leave them all behind.

Though I know I won’t win
I’ll take this one on the chin,
we’ll raise a toast
and I’ll pretend I got something to believe in.

I don’t believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate. I don’t believe in forever, or love as a mystical state. I don’t believe in the stars or the planets or angels watching from above. But I believe there’s a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love and make it last.

Some things don’t last forever, but some things do.
Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory
you can take out and unfold in your darkest times,
pressing down on the corners and peering in close,
hoping you still recognize the person you see there.



And I wonder where these dreams go when the world gets in your way. What’s the point in all this screaming , no one’s listening anyway.

The more you change,
the less you feel

  People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world
is also a confession of their character.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

You got to listen to the heavens,
you got to try to understand.
The greatness of their movement
is just as small as it is grand

it’s while you’re thinking,
while you’re sweating things out,
while you’re weighing the pros and cons,
 life goes on
passes you by while you’re doing nothing.

I suppose I do have one unembarresed passion in life:
I want to know how it feels to care about something passionately.

Destiny is something we’ve invented
because we can’t stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental.

And if you are ever going to have other people trust you,
you must feel that you can trust them too. Even when you are in the dark.
Even when you’re falling.




You get fired, and this is what you hear. You catch your girlfriend in bed with the guy next door, and this is her defense. You get shot in the face, and the nurse whispers it to you: ‘Everything happens for a reason.‘… Everything might happen for a reason, but it doesn’t have to be a good reason. It might be that the universe is chaotic or vengeful. It might be that it’s Tuesday. It might just be your turn.” – Stephan Talty

I’ve learned that life isn ‘t a movie.

Though it’s nice to believe in white-hatted heroes and black-hatted villains, 

people are alot more complex than that.

“No one feels another’s grief, no one can understand another’s joy. People imagine that they can reach one another. In reality, they only pass each other by.” – Franz Schubert

You grab her hand as I walk by, our glance becomes a stare,

the tension that remains with us is more than I can bear,

you cannot keep pretending that I mean nothing to you,

because I see it in your eyes and only eyes are true.

You can’t break my spirit, it’s my dreams you take.
& As you move on, remember me.
Remember us, and all we used to be.

I know your fears, and you know mine.
We had our doubts but now were fine.
&  I love you, I sware it’s true.
I cannot live without you.



I watch the sunlight dance across your face
& I’ve never been this swept away.

In a way I know my heart is waking up,
as all the walls come tumbling down.
Closer than I’ve ever felt before
I know & you know
There’s no need for words right now

I guess it’s time I run far, far away.
Find comfort in pain.
All pleasure’s the same
it just keeps me from trouble

I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind. Hold memory close at hand, help me understand the years. I wish I could choose between heaven and hell. I wish I would save my soul, I’m so cold from fear.

How do you let it go
when you just don’t know
what’s on the other side of the road?

You only hold me up like this
Cause you don’t know who I really am.

I know that I can’t make you stay,
but where’s your heart?

I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone. Honey if you stay you’ll be forgiven. Nothing you say can keep me from going on.

All around is anger, automatic guns. There’s death in large numbers. No respect for women, or our little ones. Tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold. & Still this emptiness persists, perhaps this is as good as it gets, when you’ve given up the drink & those nasty cigaretes. Leavin the party, or at least with no regrets. Watchin the sun come up, or watchin it as it sets. Yeah, this is as good as it gets.

Though other’s have tried, I just can’t deny.
For me, you are the one.

True love is priceless,
for true love we pay the price.
But there’s nothing that can keep me from loving you.
Not fire, not ice.

All the people in your life who’ve come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin’ that anger, it’ll eat you up inside

There are only four questions of value in life. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made of? What is worth living for? What is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.



“If there’s any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it’s almost impossible to succeed, but . . . who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.”
– Before Sunrise

“All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone to make us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, someone perfect is searching for us.”
-The Wonder Years

Lyric’s

The Heart of the Matter by: India Arie
(a little bit of it)

I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love’s open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I’ve been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning them again
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it’s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There’s a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They’re the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn’t keep us warm
