“Life sometimes gets so bogged down in the details, you forget you are living it. There is always another appointment to be met, another bill to pay, another symptom presenting, another uneventful day to be notched onto the wooden wall. We have synchronized our watches, studied our calendars, existed in minutes, and completely forgotten to step back and see what we’ve accomplished.”

“He was swept with a sadness, a sadness deep and penetrating, leaving him desolate like someone washed up on a beach, a lone survivor in a world full of strangers.”

“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes’.”

“If you care about what others think of you, then you will always be their slave.”

“…One thing you learn when you’ve lived as long as I have-people aren’t all good, and people aren’t all bad. We move in and out of darkness and light all of our lives. Right now, I’m pleased to be in the light.”
—Neal Shusterman (Unwind)
Good choice! I approve!!
THANK YOU! I definitely had to take a minute to think about it :)
If you could choose to make love in either a giant pool of mash potato or in a large fountain filled with ever sprinkling potato chips which would it be?
HAH! I’d have to say the pool of mashed potatoes. It would really suck to get potatoes stuck up your ass, and the sex I feel like would be so dry…
Sick on Halloween Weekend, is not by any means a good time. But Tumblr is keeping me so occupied! In any case, I hope everyone else is having a great Halloween Weekend. Be safe.
