"Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day
But I hate to think of effort expended
All those minutes and days and hours
I have frittered away."

Quote of the Day

"There's a crazy lady living in your head. I hope you'll be comforted to hear that you're not alone. Most of us have an invisible inner terrible someone who says all sorts of nutty stuff that has no basis in truth. Sometimes when I'm all pretzeled up inside and my own crazy lady is nattering on, I'll stop and wonder where she got her information. I'll ask her to reveal her source. I'll demand some proof. Did her notions come from actual facts based in reason or did she/I dredge them up from the hell pit that burns like a perpetual fire at the bottom of my needy, selfish, famished little soul?"
- Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things

I've allowed my fears to get larger than life
And it's brought me to my current agendum
Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive"

18 May 2015

Quote of the Day

"The fine art of keeping that painted-on congratulatory smile while your innards are imploding is a true skill. This particular time, I felt like I was in a Bugs Bunny cartoon; you know, when your whole body cracks into pieces and slowly falls to the floor in chunks, leaving just a cartoon smile suspended in midair. 'Ohhh! You're engaged!? Fantastic!' says the Mouth. Then all your teeth fall out one by one, until just one tooth is left swinging, with a tiny little cartoon swinging noise to accompany it."
- Rachel Dratch, Girl Walks Into a Bar...

11 May 2015

Quote of the Day

"If you have to ask someone to change, to tell you they love you, to bring wine to dinner, to call you when they land, you can’t afford to be with them. It’s not worth the price, even though...no one tells you what the price is. You set it yourself, and if you’re lucky it’s reasonable. You have a sense of when you’re about to go bankrupt. Your own sense of self-worth takes the wheel and says, Enough of this shit...But most people don’t get lucky. They get human. They get crushes. This means you irrationally mortgage what little logic you own to pay for this one thing. This relationship is an impulse buy, and you’ll figure out if it’s worth it later."
- Sloane Crosley, How Did You Get This Number
