only real when shared.

just some questions I am pondering at the moment....

why must we focus on the one thing we don't have instead of being grateful for all the amazing things we do have?

why, when its gone forever, are we so quick to romanticize a relationship that only made us unhappy? how come when we know they aren't right for us and know we are way better without them we miss them even more?


trying to embrace freedom and open my eyes to all these lessons and growing opportunities  that are around me because I know that this is the way it has to be.

a quote that I adore...

when the men betray you-and they will betray you-use this as an opportunity to forgive, as a heighted experience from which you can make music, write poetry, paint paintings. believe me, you will be privy to a world that's more vivid than your crayons-more colorful than those snapshots your father is so fond of. a place where your creativity is queen. so plunge in, say yes, fall recklessly in love. feel more deeply than your friends do. hit the heights, descend into the depths. kiss the lads smack on the lips and move on-like it did. i survived love and you will too. - the lost girls

I'm not interested in the insurance industry. I'm tired of being a skeptic, I'm irritated by spiritual prudence and I feel bored and parched by empirical debate. I don't want to hear it anymore. I couldn't care less about evidence and proof and assurances. I just want God. I want God inside me. I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on water.
