Obligatory Reflection
I think it’s safe to say that I survived 2011. What started out as the best year of my life, ended up being also the worst. Mood swing upon mood swing, obstacle after obstacle, shit just went downhill. What’s important though is that I learned something from all this. My New Year’s resolution is gonna be to not sweat the past so much. Just cuz December’s always been shitty,...
“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope...”
– Neil Gaiman
Nothing bad at all
Sometimes hope is the most dreadful thing, but then there is courage and resilience and love. It’s shit-your-pants-scary, sure, to take on the world on your own, especially at a time when you can’t feel more lost. And it’s probably the hardest thing in the world to do, to uproot and to change and to grow and to face that.
To be happy, you need to fucking work for it.
But in the end, you...

As fast as she can...
Ted: What you and Tony have, what I thought for a second you and I had, what I know Marshall and Lily have...I want that. I do. I keep waiting for it to happen and waiting for it to happen, and I guess I'm just tired of waiting.
Stella: I know that you're tired of waiting and you may have to wait a little while more, but she's on her way Ted, and she's getting here as fast as she can.

Joan of Arcadia - 1x7, "Death Be Not Whatever"
Joan: Why does it have to be so hard?
God: What, specifically?
Joan: Being alive, let's start there.
God: You wish you weren't alive?
Joan: No, I...I don't know! I wish...I wish it didn't...hurt so much.
God: It hurts because you feel it, Joan. Because you're alive. Loving people generates a lot of power, a lot of energy. The same kind of energy that binds atoms together - and we've all seen what happens when you try to pry them apart.
Joan: So if I don't get attached to people, then it won't hurt as much?
God: No, it's in your nature to get attached to people, I put that in the recipe. It's when you guys try to ignore that, when you go at it alone, that's when it gets ugly. It's hell.
I've had you so many times, but somehow I want...

Yes.
I haven’t had the easiest life; it’s very confusing, actually. It’s far from simple.
But you know, there’s a comfort in knowing that at one point in my life, everything did make sense.

I was born in the wrong era.
It’s crazy—almost disgusting—what kind of stuff airs on the media today. On top of the usual sex-related everything, there’s much more. Today, on the radio, I heard songs about having sex and doing drugs. I heard talk radio about smoking blunts and getting laid. A girl needed advice on having to wait ‘til the weekend to have sex because she’s busy. Come on....

Dreamcatcher.
In Chippewa tradition, dreamcatchers were meant to filter out the bad dreams, only leaving good dreams. Sorting out the nightmares, and catching one’s most inspiring thoughts and ideas.
Save for the negative spaces between the web of thread at the heart of every hanging dreamcatcher, his wall was almost entirely covered by them. The variations of thread, sinew, and twine were stretched...

– Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard
It sucks to have this one person in your life that can derail you at a moment’s notice. But in a way, it feels good knowing that you could ever love someone so much. Or that’s what you tell yourself anyway. It doesn’t matter if something is true or not. The things we tell ourselves can become our truth.

"Holy shit."
That’s all I could utter tonight when I stepped out of my car after getting home. According to the scale, I was able to go from a 9 to a 3 in a matter of 20 minutes. I can’t tell you how blessed I am to have seen a sky like one tonight. I’ve never seen more stars out at once, and they actually TWINKLED. Who woulda thunk? I’m in complete awe of God’s awesomeness and...
