Things that I ♥: reading, watching movies, relaxing, watching a good concert, watching TV, taking long showers, the rain, the ocean, Brodie, my feet buried in warm beach sand, sleeping in my bed, Starbucks iced green tea unsweetened, chocolate, ice cream, being done with the last final exam of the semester, coming home from work or school, when Brodie cuddles with me, clean sheets, shopping at Barnes & Noble, discovering a great book or band, hearing that song on the radio that you haven't heard in years, having a cool customer at work, getting a piercing or tattoo, haircuts, pedicures, having conversations late into the night with interesting people, manicures, going to pay for something that you really like & finding out its on sale, traveling, hanging out with friends, hearing a song that takes you back to that one time & place, spending time with my family, making someone smile, catching up on the phone with my best friends for hours, spending all day doing nothing, looking up at the stars, roadtrips, laughing so hard my face hurts, not having to set my alarm before bed, putting on my pjs, finding money in some random place, a good quote, the way he can relay baseball information at any time, his hugs...
Quotes
"There are moments when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable; life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only Being."
-Albert Einstein
"What does not kill me makes me stronger."
-Friedrich Nietzsche"The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenly, divinely aware."

Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here."
