Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs Become Lions.

Best shit outta the movie...




“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our things were answers like astronaut, president, or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked us again. We answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist.  But now that we’ve grown up, they want a more serious answer. 


Well, how about this…
Who the hell knows?  


This isn’t a time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy because there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. 


So make as many mistakes as you can. 
That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be…
 We won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”

Mad loving the inspiring graduation speech!

—   In tribute to me bonding sesh with K...

     " You gradually get over the pain. It doesn’t go away, not for a long time, but it becomes easier to live with. One morning you wake up and he’s not the first thing on your mind. And then a few months down the line you realize you’ve made it through half the day without thinking of him. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes, years, but eventually you reach a point when you only think about them occassionally. You manage to do this because you don’t see them, you don’t hear about them, you try not to think about them. And then you bump into them walking down the street, or someone unexpected mentions their name … and the memories come flooding back. But memories also become less painful in time, and I can talk about [him] now without really feeling anything.”

' Many women equate drama with passion. A relationship filled with drama is usually exciting because you never know what could happen – good or bad. That kind of excitement can be destructive and is ultimately unsustainable. A drama-free relationship isn’t one that’s necessarily without love or passion; it’s one that’s mature enough to not need the emotional roller coaster. '

dammmn right.

' Amidst the over-affectionate couples and over-ecstatic groups of giddy girls, we stood there calm but overly-excited with the small of my back grazing the small of your front swaying back and forth while our favorite band belted out our favorite songs.

Although we barely touched, you could still feel the little muscles underneath our rib cages beat simultaneously to the sound of the drums in the background. Our lips moved to every lyric, every phrase as if we were the ones who had written them ourselves, as if the singer was speaking directly to us and only us, as if this was just another scene to our never-ending movie where all the songs we’ve ever loved play in one moment and it’s just too much to take. Because that’s what it felt like. 

My eyes brimmed with tears as I mouthed along to each word that seemed to be in sync with my current heart and my former heart and what will always be in my heart, but I refused to let you see. Even though I know better to refrain than to let my thoughts dance with hope over the idea of being something more than we are, more like what used to be — I still can’t help but allow the melodies to drift into my ear and for the memories to flood back in overflow. I guess this is how it will always be with you, anytime I’m with you, anytime you sit inside my mind.

But beyond it all, we always have some secret understanding when it comes to nights alone like this in knowing that it’s only ever a game of pretend, reminiscent of the comfort and burning love we once had that was so hot we burned out hands, but now act like it was something we never really knew. So we never learn to stop playing with that fire again and again even though everyone else has told us to do different. We just don’t listen. It appears the only thing we can hear are the chords that still strum softly, almost quietly, the ones that hide inside our still connected hearts. '

Absolutely exquisite!

“Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it. Because if we actually felt how much we love them, it would kill us. That doesn’t make you a bad person. It just means your heart’s too big.”
