Think of love as a state of grace; not the means to anything but the alpha and omega, an end in itself.
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love in the Time of Cholera |
"This is your time to fly away and chase all your dreams, remember life is like a play, you must act each scene with passion--embracing and enjoying the part. If you should ever get lost along the way, look to the stars, take a deep breath and follow your heart."

“It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.”
― Stephen Chbosky |
“I believe in courtesy. It is the way we avoid hurting people's feelings. She thought that maybe, just maybe, western civilization was in decline because people did not take time to take tea at four o'clock.” ~ E.L. Konigsburg, The View from Saturday

Shhhh! Don't tell that story again! Don't utter another syllable about the pain, the losses that have left you broken, unless you are ready to recover right now. Stop dragging yourself back there, reminding yourself of how bad it was for you then unless it has some relevance to what you are doing right now. Each time you think about, talk about, or remember then, you put that energy squarely in the middle of your life right now.

"We need to make judgments, of course - to observe what works and what doesn't, but not to be judgmental. Being judgmental is a form of madness that screams powerlessness and ruthlessness. When we can make good judgments and update them and not stay rigid, we come from goodwill and promote goodwill back to us." — Patricia Sun |
|
"We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying."
~Sue Grafton |
If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk;
If you can't walk then crawl. But whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. ♥ ~ Martin Luther King Jr |
If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.

"Rejection is an opportunity for you to make a better selection.” ― Bernard Branson
"He had loved her more than he had anyone, he would have done anything for her, including giving his life. But she had no time for him, he was not a priority to her. So he found someone else to give his love to. And then of course she had all the time in the world for him. He became her only priority. But it was never a game to him, and it wasn't now. He had found someone else." - The Vera Wood Files “A relationship could be a place to hide too.” ― Deb Caletti |

You know, Bill...there's one thing I've learned in all my years. Sometimes you gotta say, 'What the fuck. Make your move.' -- Tom Cruse as Joel (Risky Business, 1983) |
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.” by Pablo Neruda

You must have faith that all of the things you expect from life are possible for you. You must have faith that no matter what life brings you, you will be able to handle it. You must have faith that your faith will eventually lead to good experiences.

"What counts in making a good relationship is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility."

Don't take things personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say or do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
Don Miguel Ruiz |
The thing you hope will never happen to you might just happen to someone else instead, who has been spending their life dreading the thing that will happen to you.

We must work within the parameters of others' limitations ~tlh |
In all tests of character, when two viewpoints are pitted against each other, in the final analysis, the thing that will strike you most is not who was right or wrong, strong or weak, wise or foolish......but who went to the greater lengths in considering the other's perspective. ~Mike Dooley |
“Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. ”
― Marie Dressler “It is stupid to hope, but sometimes hope is all you have.” ― Cassandra Clare “When you know that everything matters—that every move counts as much as any other—you will begin living a life of permanent purpose.” ― Andy Andrews |

Throwdown
by Jena Strong give me the drag queens, dolled up and delicious the two moms bickering over the dishes the orphans, adopted, the chosen, the trannies the witches, the protestors, tattooed laughing grannies the boys wearing tutus and all the shirtless daughters of the revolution playing basketball on the broken courts of lost fathers the failures, the forgotten, the throwdown, the freak show the hurts and the heartbreaks, the hassles and headaches the beggar, the baron, the shelter, the clambake trade in the cynical, the stubborn, the splintering showdown because it's time to unite now, yes it's time to ignite now it's time to pick up the phone to say, It's me and I love you |
There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.--Brandy Norwood

"Lies only strengthen our defects. They don't teach anything, help anything, fix anything or cure anything. Nor do they develop one's character, one's mind, one's heart or one's soul. There is beauty in the truth even if it's painful.” ― José N. Harris
“Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe.” ― Henry David Thoreau “Life shouldn't be about the either/or. We're capable of more than that, you know?” ― Sarah Dessen |
Dedicated to a feminist clinic worker that was attacked for her size.
"If a fat person disgusts you, if you're afraid of black people, if you're grossed out by gays kissing, know this: Your intolerance says way more about you than about those who repel you. When you're judging someone by weight and not moral compass, intelligence, empathy, creativity, talent or sense of humor, what kind of person are you? If you see two people — one fat and one thin — and say that the fat one disgusts you, what happens if you find out that the fat one is a loving mother and vet and the thin one is a serial killer?" DODAI STEWART |
A problem shared is gossip.

"A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need the advice."

Prayer to Aphrodite
Eternal Aphrodite. Zeus's daughter, throne
Of inlay, deviser of nets, I entreat you: Do not let a yoke of grief and anguish weigh down my soul, lady, But come to me now, as you did before When, hearing my cries even at the distance You slammed the door of your fathers house-- Golden! and hastened To harness your chariot. Then pretty sparrows Drew you forthwith over the dark lands, Beating their crisp wings. From the outer spheres, Down through the inner, Steeply they descended. Ar last you, Divine Lady, Beaming your unearthly smile at me, Asked was I in distress once again ---for, Why had I called you? And what did my unruly heart demand Of you now?"and whom do I urge this time To return your generous friendship? Who, Sappho has been stubborn?" For if she avoids you soon she will come Knocking;if refuses presents, will shower them on you; if she loves not, she shall love, and learn to be kinder. I beg you, come. Free me from this oppression. All that my heart longs to see accomplished, Goddess, do it. No one could resist if you were fighting beside me Alfred Corn |
