"We must not shed tears. That is the defeat of the body by the heart. Because, for us, this thing called 'the heart' can become nothing less than proof that one's existence is superfluous." Rukia - Bleach. Ep. 19

If I haven't learned anything at all about people, it has to be this: keep people who compliment your life, not complicate it. I'm taking your advice: I'm moving on with my life. But for those who truly know me, when you decide to return, I'll be standing right here where you left me. Good luck with your endeavors! You'll make it. We've always known that. :)

Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.
-Carl Sandburg
Life isn't easy, but with a wonderful family and great friends - it sure makes it easier to go on fighting :) Every time I feel as though the world is caving in on me, I think of them, and I know I will make it through. Every time I feel as though I've taken one step back, they always remind me of how many steps forward I've taken. Every time I think about the glass being half empty, they remind me that the glass is half full. Love - it really can be a wonderful thing.

It's going to be a fantastic year - I just know it :)
The song on the profile, I guess, can be said is a window into the makings of me - what I'm feeling, what I'm going through (or been through), you can say it is representative of my current & past life/situation(s). (lyrics always provided) Though, of course not all lyrics will capture "my life" nor will it be 100% accurate, but it's on here for a reason. Thus far, 2007 has been great - I know, I know - too soon to tell, but I'm telling you... it's a great feeling to wake up (wouldn't you love waking up at 6am daily?! c'mon!!) & just know that there are things to look forward to (whether good or bad), it's experiences yet to be experienced. I feel really good about 2007. It was supposed to be the greatest year of my life, no reason why it still shouldn't be. I'm very positive & very hopeful. This year will blow all the previous years away. Unlike previous years, I'm prepared for the roller coaster ride! .I'm often misunderstood, But I would like to think that I'm a different person now than I was a few months ago. The rumors are true, I'm an emotional train wreck, but I'm working ..ing through the debris, I'm picking up the pieces worth picking up and trying to leave behind the pieces of me that I can no longer carry. I've got a lot of baggage that tends to weigh me down, I'm working on it - I'm learning to pack lighter. I've got much to learn about myself. So love me, appreciate me, hate me for everything that I was, that I am or ever will be. But if you expect change from me, you have to tell me what is wrong. Hindsight is 100%.

It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it. - W. Somerset Maugham
...it must be a sign...

Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world. - Hans Margolius
There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy - Dante
Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone. ~Paul Johannes Tillich, The Eternal Now
Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up. - James Baldwin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. - Anais Nin
Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together. ~Author Unknown

Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right.
Aldous Huxley

"Pain - you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it... heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers... you just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time, pain can be managed. But sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it... hits way below the belt and doesnt let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is, you cant out run it, and life always makes more." - Grey's Anatomy Season 2 Ep. 5
"Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass and when the dam bursts all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage not a cocoon, we can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired. We are scared. Denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world head on, guns blazing. "Denial" - it's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?" Grey's Anatomy - Season 2 Ep. 4
"There's something to be said about a glass half full, about knowing when to say when. I think it's a floating mind, a barometer of need and desire. It's entirely up to the individual and depends on whats being poured, sometimes all we want is a taste, other times there's no such thing as enough - the glass is bottomless and all we want... is more."
Grey's Anatomy - Season 2 Ep. 2

"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change."
-Thich Nhat Hanh

(from convo with a friend...) ...maybe it wasn't love [name]... maybe it was an infatuation or an obsession...what do 17 year olds know about love anyways? you wake up one day at 24 and wonder what love really feels like

No one is aware of how important a moment is until it is made important - that, my friends, is a kairotic moment. (and yes, you may quote me)
