she's unique, she's special. don't take that for
granted because it was that special something
that caught your eye in the first place.

stop being frightened. you only see a monster because they want you to see monsters everywhere. they've conditioned you to look for monsters in every shadow, every coat hung on every door. as long as we keep seeing monsters, we'll continue to need protection and that's how other people get to control our lives.

convinced that man never worshipped
anything but himself."
-Sir Richard Francis Burton-

[(11)]
i'm at that time in my life where i could be having the time of my life, right? i want to make out in the backseat of his car, i want to go to these outrageous parties with people who are older than me, make some bad decisions then fix them. i want to have a lot to tell my daughter--that the craziest, most thrilling part of your life is when your seventeen. i want to experience life and love, learning everything in between.

[(1)]
baseball and life, one in the same. i mean, everybody says that life is too short. bullshit. life, unless you get cancer or hit by a bus or set on fire, it takes forever, just like baseball. it's a series of long, mind-bogglingly boring stretches of time where absolutely nothing happens, so you take a nap. then, after a little while, when that crisp crack of the bat hits the ball, so crisp you can almost smell that wood burning, it jolts you awake and you open your eyes to see that something so exciting and intricate and possibly very very meaningful has just happened.

[(2)]
we invent what we love and what we fear.

[(3)]
so don't wait for someone to tell you it's
 too late, cause these are the best days.
there's always something tomorrow, so
i say let's make the best of tonight. yeah,
let's make the best of tonight. here comes
the rest of our lives.

toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose."
-Brian Tracy-

[(6)]
when men stop believing in god,
it isn't that they then believe in nothing;
 they believe in everything.

[(7)]
i breathe in, i breathe out, put one foot in front
of the other, take one day at a time til you find
that someone you can't live without.
 until then, i breathe in and i breathe out.

[(8)]
"get excited and enthusiastic about your own
dream. this excitement is like a forest fire--you
can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away."
-Denis Waitley-

[(9)]
at some point in life, the world's beauty
becomes enough. you don't need to
photograph, paint, or even remember it.
it is enough.

[(10)]
i think you have to know who you are.
get to know the monster that lives in your soul.
dive deep into your soul and explore it.

a teacher, though, awakens your own expectations."

the fastest road to healing, even if
it isn't exactly the smartest.

here you go, sorry for the wait

[(1)]
i miss you most when i'm driving alone
and that song comes on the radio.
you know, the one you always used to
sing to me, no matter how much grief i gave you.
you always sang it and i always smiled.

[(2)]
it's days like this when the sun is shining
and all i can think about is your face.

[(3)]
see, i've been wasting too much time in this chair
trying to perfect this dissaffected stare. and
i think i've been too cool for way too long.
and i think i'm starting to feel this song.

"rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine."
-Mario Fernandez-

[(5)]
"life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous
at the same time. at any given moment, the floor
may open up. of course, it almost never does.
that's what makes it so boring."
-Edward Gorey-

[(6)]
she seems very benign and wholesome,
but underneath lurks an incredible
toughness and powerful directness.

[(8)]
"careers, like rockets,
don't always take off on schedule.
the key is to keep working the engines."
-Gary Sinise-

[(9)]
there's still a little bit of your song in my ear.

[(10)]
i'll grab the wheel and i'll point it west; pack the good and leave the rest. i'll find the missing piece. you said i wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart, but i got everything i'll ever need. i got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings.

[(11)]
"more important than talent, strength, or
knowledge is the ability to laugh at yourself
and enjoy the pursuit of your dreams."
-Amy Grant-

[(12)]
maybe sometimes you have to stop
waiting for someone to come along
and fix what's wrong. maybe you have
to stop feeling sorry for yourself and
realize that no one else has the answer.
sometimes you have to be your own hero.

[(13)]
 "you have to think big to be big."
-Claude M. Bristol-

[(14)]
but wasn't that always the way it worked?
it's never something huge that changes everything,
but instead the tiniest of details, irrevocably
tweaking the balance of the universe while
you're busy focusing on the big picture.

[(15)]
some people develop a wish bone
where their back bone should be.

[(16)]
"what we anticipate seldom occurs;
what we least expected generally happens."
-Benjamin Disraeli-

[(17)]
my heels are high, my eyes are low,
and i don't know how to love.

[(18)]
to be human is to keep rattling the bars the bars
of the cage of existence hollering, "what's it for?"
