i love this....
All dressed up in love, and I'm cool in the summer, warm in the winter
There's a lesson that I keep learning, but still forget to put into practice. Perhaps that's not right; I think I've learned it well, but have to constantly keep re-evaluating my life and, in particular, the people in it, in light of that lesson.
It's such a simple lesson: You only have to spend time with people who make you feel better. Anyone who doesn't - even if they used to, but they don't anymore - isn't worth the drain on your energy. And that is nothing to feel guilty about.
So I am determined to begin ever new again, to start afresh, and fill my life with people who cheer me up, not bring me down.
...And people I should spend more time with:
“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and what you believe in; It was never between you and them anyway.”
-Mother Theresa
So fill your days with what you believe in...
We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”

"I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live." — Anaïs Nin
This blog is my outlet. This is my drug and my vice.
"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."

(I want to wake at the wheel still driving
somehow changed, want you there beside me
as the road unwires like a heartline, lilting
and we near another elsewhere
want you there at the wheel, at the wheel
I still believe
for as long as it turns
I can clutch the sun I can steer and
brake time to a hold — )
These times I still believe in every poem the road gave me
