Supply & demand.

It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching & rarely discovered; so many locks, not enough keys.

Why fix it if it's not broken?

Some people, they can't just move on, you know, mourn & cry & be done with it. Or at least seem to be. But for me...I don't know. I didn't want to fix it, to forget it. It wasn't something that was broken. It's just...something that happened. & like that hole, I'm just finding ways, every day, of working around it. Respecting & remembering & getting on at the same time.

Dear homework,

Do yourself.

Thanks,

Chasing pavements.

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Guess what? Chicken butt.

Something I never thought I'd google: "How do you get the plastic out of a chicken's butt?" True story.

Butt dialing.

Just did some rough housing with Jenny & her butt accidentally dialed & left a message on someone's voicemail. So now when they listen to their message they'll hear words like "Boobies! Boobies!", "Ow my hair! My hair!" & "Sweaty hand power!!"

Prince charming.

I asked my 8-year-old brother what he wanted to be when he got older & he replied, "I wanna be prince charming.”

Distance.

Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It is for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It is for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough.

Powerful words.

While reading a book by James Frey, a certain line caught my eye: "If you care about what other people think, you will always be their prisoner." Powerful words.

It's okay. I still love you.

Sometimes, we want to say this to someone: "You suck. You're an insensitive, inconsiderate, selfish, cruel, thoughtless mean person who doesn't deserve to be cared for by a person like me. I wish you could just disappear, so you couldn't hurt me anymore!" But when we open our mouth to say it, it comes out a little softer like: "It's okay. I still love you."
