"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building someone could destroy overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God - it was never between you and them anyway."
-- Mother Theresa.
I like running away. I like the water and the city and the woods. I like driving for no reason except finding new backroads. I wish I knew Dave Eggars, Jack Kerouac, Tolkien and J.D. Salenger. I have friends that are just as cool as those guys. I have conversations with seagulls. I'm excruciatingly clumsy. Once I thought I was a tough kid and that was fun. Now I know I'm not but pretend I am anyway.
"One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason."
