SW,
I am moving on with my life, but I will always, always love you.

“my first thought this morning was ‘i feel okay’. you know what i mean-that moment before you remember who you are and what the actual facts of your life are? my first thought, in my gut, in my body, was ‘i feel okay’. i haven’t felt that in a long time. usually, you know, i open my eyes and i already feel like shit. like in my sleep i was feeling like shit, and waking up was just an...

Rudyard Kipling — If
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make...
The Foreign Holiday
If you’ve never felt your ribs pushing against your skin. If you know when you’re next going to eat. If you slept under a roof last night. If you know how to use a computer. If you can see this picture. If you can read these words. If you know someone you can share this with. You have a lot to be thankful for. (via I Wrote This For You)

Ten Rules For Being Human
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”

tell me about it kid, sheesh
I feel pretty stupid tonight. And taken for granted. I hurt my own feelings. Woe is me; yadda-yadda-yawn. Heh. The universe is just too big to ever really understand context, though — let alone comprehend it — especially since it’s a moving target at that. So, again, it’s probably just an issue of misguided focus. Misguidance. Seems to be a prevailing theme. Ah, well. The world is thick...
What A Companion Is...
“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center...
