“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.” -Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Feeling ALIVE. Craving adventure. 

 Learning the beauty of leaving things behind and moving on.

It's a constant learning process.

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels

-Speeding Cars IMOGEN HEAP

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours.  No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen.  And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot.  The possibility is always there.  

~Monica Baldwin

"Initially this can cause a lot of guilt, and a sense of loss. It can make you feel like you're giving up when you shouldn't be, but sometimes you need to stop listening to society, and instead listen to yourself."

ESCAPISM PT. IV

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. 

-Buddha

The passion and the flame is ignited
You can’t put it out once we light it
This sh-t is exactly what the fuck that I’m talking about when we riot
You dealin’ with a few true villains
Whose stand inside of the booth truth spillin’
And spit true feelings, until our tooth fillings come flying up out of our mouths
Now rewind it!
Payback muthafucka for the way that you got at me, so how’s it taste?

(Eminem) 

 I don't really care what  anyone else thinks.

It's me.

Fuck.

"When you're young you think nothing can hurt you. It's like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans. Big Plans. To find your perfect match, the one who completes you. But as you get older you realize it's not always that easy. It's not until the end of your life that you realize how the plans you made where simply plans."

I miss you. 

I miss being invincible.

I miss the sunshine.

Time slips away so quickly.

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone,
When the morning light sings
And brings new things,
But tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too,
Too many things I have to do,
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'll be under the impression,
I was somewhere in-between
With only two,
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do,
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah, it's always better when we're together
MMM, We're somewhere in-between 

-Better Together, Jack Johnson

"You know, one of two things happens when you meet your heroes, either they're assholes, or they're just like you are. Either way you always lose. " (Imaginary Heroes)

" Because I love you. Because I love you and I never wanna to loose you and that's all. I love you from my heart, my soul, my mind. And I never let you down. All right? Because it was me. It was only me. And I'll tell them that, ok. It's over for me now. And I never gonna see you again." (Monster)

You, with your switching sides and your wildfire lies and your humiliation,
You, have pointed out my flaws again, as if I don't already see them,
I walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never  impress you,

I just wanna feel okay again.
I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold,
But the cycle ends right now 

'cause you can't lead me down that road.
But you don't know what you don't know.

Someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Someday, I'll be big enough so that you can't hit me,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?

-Taylor Swift

I realized that being with people is what makes me happy.

It's going to be difficult to find happiness in solitude. 

"We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for. How else to explain the curious feeling that goes around feeling like missing somebody we've never even met?"

I know the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started.

- Ernest Hemingway, "A Farewell To Arms"

“Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.”

"What we call here a Black Swan (and capitalize it) is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable.

I stop and summarize the triplet: rarity, extreme impact, and retrospective (though not prospective) predictability. A small number of Black Swans explains almost everything in our world, from the success of ideas and religions, to the dynamics of historical events, to elements of our own personal lives.

The main idea in Taleb's book is to not attempt to predict Black Swan Events, but to build robustness against negative ones that occur and be able to exploit positive ones."

 Nassim Nicholas Taleb

“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.” -Unknown

This is the only type of love I can understand.

Some many things  are unknown.

Thinking of exploring some caves.

A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. - Jim Morrison

“You've changed so much. I guess that's what happens. I wish you knew how much you changed me. I wonder if I changed you, if your life is different because of me. Because mine's different. My God, you taught me so much, and now we don't even talk to each other. I guess that's what happens." -Anonymous 

Train-"If it's Love" 

You can move in

I won’t ask where you’ve been

’cause everybody has a past

When we’re older

We’ll do it all over again

When everybody else is getting out of bed

I’m usually getting in it

I’m not in it to win it

I’m in it for you

If it’s love

And we’re two birds of a feather

Then the rest is just whenever

Then the rest is just whenever

If it’s love

And we decide that it’s forever

No one else could do it better

And if I’m addicted to loving you

And you’re addicted to my love too

We can be them two birds of a feather

That flock together

Love, love

Got to have something to keep us together
