the aliens

you may not believe it

but there are people

who go through life with

very little

friction or

distress.

they dress well, eat

well, sleep well.

they are contented with

their family

life.

they have moments of

grief

but all in all

they are undisturbed

and often feel

very good.

and when they die

it is an easy

death, usually in their

sleep.

you may not believe

it

but such people do

exist.

but I am not one of

them.

oh no, I am not one

of them,

I am not even near

to being

one of

them

but they are

there

and I am

here.

-Charles Bukowski

amazing book

"You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too-even when you are in the dark. Even when you're falling."

- Tuesdays with Morrie

jean-paul sartre

"When you live alone you no longer know what it is to tell something: the plausible disappears at the same time as the friends. You let events flow past; suddenly you see people pop up who speak and who go away, you plunge into stories without beginning or end: you make a terrible witness. But in compensation, one misses nothing, no improbability or story, each too tall to be believed in cafes."

"Nothing has changed and yet everything is different. I can't describe it; it's like the Nausea and yet it's just the opposite: at last an adventure happens to me and when I question myself I see that it happens that I am myself and I am here; the one who splits the night, and I am as happy as the hero of a novel."

smart man

“There will always be something to ruin our lives, it all depends on what or which finds us first. We are always ripe and ready to be taken.”

- Charles Bukowski

clarity

"I worry I throw my fear around, but this morning there's a calm I can't explain. The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain."

- John Mayer

"Our lives begin to end that day we become silent about things that matter."

-Martin Luther King Jr.

hero

"We weren't meant to be alone. We need other people. We need a friend. We need a gang. We need a family. Hope is real. Help is real."

- Jamie Tworkowski

"We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless. We don't get to choose all the endings, but we are asked to play the rescuers. We won't solve all mysteries and our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life, but it is the best way. We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until we're called home."

- Jamie Tworkowski

farewell

"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."

-Unknown

music

"Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music." - Jimi Hendrix

i can get used to this

"You might not end up where you thought you'd be, but you'll end up where you're meant to be." - Unknown

i'll get it right

"One day you’re going to want that specific girl. That girl that knew she wasn’t perfect, but tried to be for you. That girl who wanted nothing more than to be there for you and love you the only way she knew she could. That girl who sees your flaws, but values them as much as your strengths. That girl who still can’t bring herself to hate you, even though you probably deserve it. That girl who saw past your pretty face and treasured parts of you that no one else appreciated. That girl who realizes she may never have your heart, but will carry the image of you in hers forever. And by the time you realize that’s the girl you’re looking for, she’ll be with someone who already knew." - Unknown
