“I don’t think people are meant to be by themselves. That’s why if you find someone you acutally care about, it’s important to let go of the little things. Even if you can’t let go all the way. Becuase nothing sucks more than being all alone. No matter how many people are around.”

“The weird thing is that, even though its natural, sex can make us uncomfortable. But if we work at it, we can get beyond that discomfort, and realize that sex can actually be a comfort. Sex can even be a cure. How do I know all of this? Because no one understands how important sex is better than someone who isn’t having it.”

“I guess in the end, things seldom work out the way you expect. sometimes, fate is on your side. other times, well, you’ve kind of sealed your own fate. either way you have to trust that whatever’s supposed to happen, will happen. “

“I’ve been thinking a lot lately about taking chances, and how it’s really just about overcoming your fears. Because the truth is, everytime you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, you’re always glad you took it. ”

“Sometimes the answer you get is the one you least expect. but more often than not, the answers we’ve been looking for have been inside us all along. i guess the important thing is to never stop searching.“

-J.D.

Love should be enough…but it never is

i know i’m important to people.  i know they care.  but am i a priority?  words, words, words, but that is all they are.  if something is really important, doesn’t it show in actions?  if something is really a priority, doesn’t it show in decisions?

“Action expresses priorities.”
-Mahatma Gandhi

“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with”
-Gillian Anderson

“There’s no sense talking about priorities. Priorities reveal themselves. We’re all transparent against the face of the clock.”
-Eric Zorn

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov’d — I lov’d alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that ‘round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view —

-E.A. Poe
