"failure is an event, not a person.
yesterday ended last night."

"i wanted to write about people who were depressed, but not depressed for any kind of cataclysmic reason. i mean the high school kid is kind of abstractly depressed, which i think is what a lot of people feel like. it's not like they have anything bad about their lives. and if you were to ask them if they were depressed, they'd probably say no."
-Chuck Klosterman-

i want to bust the world wide open the way you do when you're filled with youth. i want to engage with lovers and people and fellow cops. i want to be physical and i also want to ask the big questions. i want to taste the tastes and fix the problems. i want to run headlong into chaos and bad guys and darkness and friends and fun and laugh, laugh, laugh. i want to be the best friend and i want to be the greatest aunt and the most complicated daughter. i want to be the mystery in the room and i want to be known.

"learning to let go should be learned
before learning to get. life should be
touched, not strangled. you've got to
relax, let it happen at times, and at
others, move foward with it."
-Ray Bradbury-

you want everything to be just like the
stories that you read but never write.

making love was never about you and me in a bed;
we made love whenever we held hands.

2
a three word statement does not justify the importance that you have in my life. instead of saying i love you, i want you to know that no statement in english, or any other language, could possibly capture the very essence of how much i truly treasure your existence.

"if we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair.
we'd never have a friendship. we'd never go into business,
because we'd be cynical. well, that's nonsense. you've got to
jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."
-Ray Bradbury-

but it's hard for me to stay mad when there's
so much beauty in the world. sometimes i
feel like i'm seeing it all at once, and it's
too much. my heart fills up like a
balloon that's about to burst.

wake up. get out of bed and stop hiding under the duvet, no matter how warm it is. you will get nothing accomplished. put some clothes on. wear red tights with the mustard yellow shoes. arrange the 3 day old curls in your hair. do something nice for yourself today. be pretty for absolutely no reason other than to prove to yourself that you're not worthless and sloven. buy yourself your favorite burrito, and make sure you get extra guacamole. drive past Emily Dickinson's house and imagine the lack of life she had. spend the extra money on your favorite art magazine and plan a trip to Sweden in your head. sing your favorite songs in your car. make a pit stop to the resovoir. collect the last leaves from autumn. watch the sun sink into the horizon. don't stare at your phone and wait for it to vibrate. don't mope. don't think about the only men in your life that have belittled you this week. don't sit. don't wait. don't look at the time that you've always set to three hours behind. don't delay your life even though someone has attempted to delay yours.

you get a little moody sometimes, but i think
that's because you like to read. people that
like to read are always a little bit fucked up.

oh, even when the sky is crashing down on you,
you locked your knees and stood up straight.
you are the strength in my veins.

"eventually you will come to realize that
love heals everything and love is all there is."

"like hot air balloons, all of us are engineered to soar to great heights. unfotunately, many of us 'sandbag' ourselves. we do things, we think things, and we believe things that hold us down. we get insecure, fearful, and jealous. we judge people, think negatively, and make excuses for our unhappiness. we become our biggest obstacle. imagine what it would be like if we got out of our own way."
-Scott Greenberg-

i love you, and i hope that when you're
laying in bed after a terrible night,
watching terrible tv, that you don't feel alone.
that you never really feel alone.

because he knows you have to laugh at
the things that hurt you just to keep yourself
in balance, just to keep the world from
running you plumb crazy.

when you're worried, tell yourself the truth:
shyness is a strengh to build on, not a
character flaw to be stamped out.

just forget what you cannot replace. this sweet day is almost weightless and new. so i talk but no one can relate to the fear i had when i was younger. cause somehow, i knew i'd end up empty and alone. we all accept in the same tired way the gentle shift of continuous change.

"all you have to do is know
where you're going. the answers
will come to you at their own accord."
-Earl Nightingale-

that night you told me you missed me and as much as i hate to admit it, it meant everything to me.

"there are better things ahead than any we leave behind."
-C.S. Lewis-

2
i called because i wanted you to know that despite everything
that's happened and all the miles between us right now,
i still think about the way it was in the beginning.

"if a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. if a man doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. allow your intuition, or spirit, to save you from heartache."
-Oprah Winfrey-

i had other quotes that perfectly explain what my mind is going through right now but irene [my laptop] can be a bitch sometimes and those 2 or 3 quotes are gone now. and i could recreate them but i wouldn't want to get them wrong. so poo, here it is.

but that doesn't mean that i miss you.

on the good days i feel like i get it, like it all makes sense. i can stay in the moment. i don't have to control everything in the future, and i believe everything is gonna work out fine. on the bad days i just want to grab the phone and start dialing numbers. i want to pull my hair and run through the streets screaming. but thanks to the people i've met in these rooms, i'm pretty sure i'm gonna make it through today

i wish you were here to find me, smile, drag me out dancing, soft smile sliding out the syllables of my name in reproach, except, maybe you don't go out dancing? that's okay by me, i could be all dressed up and we could sit in your room and talk about art and smile shyly at each other and wonder how we will ever cross that divide to the first kiss. maybe it'd be nice to cross that huge divide. i like the idea that you'd be there, on the other side of it, waiting for me.
