Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Acid much?

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station..

I think 'First Response' and 'Plan B' should switch names.

One time you know i love you with your funky ass style

you are like a sunset to me

That’s life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

never forget that.

The Brain Type Test

Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained? Although one side of the brain is generally dominant over the other, we should strive to utilize both halves. A balanced brain makes a balanced person - combining sequential thinking with a holistic approach, or linear thinking with intuition, enables us to fully comprehend issues and solve problems. Left-brainers can dramatically improve their problem solving abilities by learning to "follow their gut," while right-brainers can improve the execution of their creative efforts. Realizing your dominant half is the first step in becoming balance-brained. Your percentage score for the right brain is  59%. Your percentage score for the left brain is 41%. You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist. results via testcafe

"Things I’d Love To Tell My Younger Self"

10. And if you are in bed with a man and he’s the right man:
... meaning your stomach doesn’t hurt, he’s smiling at you, he knows your name, he’s not drunk, and neither are you—for godsakes—enjoy yourself. He is not at all thinking about how fat your thighs look.

alright, im done being gay now...

perfection is the highest order of self abuse

"My mother once wrote a poem about rivers. They were women, she wrote. Starting out small grls, tiny streams decorated with wild flowers. Then they were torrents, gouging paths through sheer granite, flinging themselves off cliffs, fearless and irrisistable. Later they grew fat and serviceable, broad slow curves carrying commerce and sewage. But in their unconscious depths, catfish gorged. Grew the size of barges. And in the hundred-year storms, they rose up, forgetting the promises they made, the wedding vows, and drowned everything for miles around.  Finally they gave out, birth-emptied, malarial, into a fan of swamp that met the sea.
But this river was none of these things. It flowed serene and ignored, past spray painted fences and brick walls, alive despite everything, gaurding the secrets of survival. this river was a girl like me."
