Quotes

The meeting couldn't have gone better! I was so jazzed I even walked around New York afterwards in my four inch heels. I want to enjoy this feeling of satisfaction without getting my hopes up too much. Its a hard thing to balance. I should know within a week! I'll be on edge until then.

Maybe we like the pain.  Maybe we're wired that way.  Because without it, I don't know, maybe we just wouldn't feel real.  What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.

Grey's Anatomy

I hated that I let him touch my sweat, that he knew how I kissed.  I wanted to collect my things from him, but the things were only moments.

It's hard to leave a history and watch other people date yours. Some people are aces at it---it seems more of their best friends are exes than not. When I first met a man who told me his best friend was an ex of his, I held my breath a little. The "count to ten" carried me past irrational, and I was left to exhale and fake a smile. It didn't work out for a reason, I chanted as I gulped espresso and cream. Hopefully the reason wasn't timing. What if now is their timing?

Stephanie Klein, "Straight Up and Dirty" 

Here's what I've learned about "soon"; it's short for "someday."  We make space in our lives for what matters, now.  Not in promises and soons, but on mantels with sterling frames, in shelves we clear to make room for our now.  Everything else is talk.  I didn't want to share space with someone who didn't want his someday now.

Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.

At some point, you have to make a decision.  Boundaries don't keep other people out.  They fence you in.  Life is messy.  That's how we're made.  So, you can waste your lives drawing lines.  Or you can live your lives crossing them.  But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross.

Grey's Anatomy

Sometimes, no matter how badly something is hurting us, it hurts even more to let it go.

Little girl, you should close your eyes, that blue is getting me high.

Marilyn Manson

I don't scare easy, I'm not afraid of a fight, and I've learned some lessons and I'd like to use them.

You're every bridge I should have burned. Every lesson I have learned.

Jakob Dylan

We are all trying to make our way, find our niche, our purpose and our mate.  We each have our own way of figuring it out.  Who's to say my way is the right way?

There are no rules or judgements except for the ones you create for yourself.  So why not be happy now?

Sometimes we find ourselves walking through our lives blindfolded, and we try to deny that we're the ones who securely tied the knot.

The thing about addiction is that it never ends good.  Whatever is getting you high stops making you feel good.  And it hurts.

 People break easily so be careful.
