Well you hit the hay and I’ll hit the feathers.

Thank you, although I don’t think that had been your intent. It just came out, and then I was laughing by myself…but then recovered. But really, thank you. I needed that :)

Because sometimes you have something you need to say but you can’t because the words won’t come out or you get scared or you feel stupid, so if you could write a song and sing it then you could say what you need to say and it would be beautiful. And people would listen and you wouldn’t make a complete idiot out of yourself, but all of us can’t be songwriters so some of us will never be able to say what we’re thinking or what we want other people to know what we’re thinking… so we’ll never get the chance to make things right again ever.

You see,” he says to the girl, “you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too— even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.

Our notions about happiness entrap us. We forget that they are just ideas. Our idea of happiness can prevent us from actually being happy. We fail to see the opportunity for joy that is right in front of us when we are caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form.

Because they are usually things that scare me in some way and I have trouble admitting when I am afraid.

Ice cream for me. Especially on colder, rainy days like today. Not sure why…

Choose fucking up every chance you get in the pursuit of finding something pure.
