- Crush on a Friend's Crush: Update
I have chosen not to take the risk of losing my friendship. I got to thinking about it and my friendship with one of my best friends is more important than a boy. I am not going to let one little crush get in the way of something that is bigger than a crush - a best friend of a lifetime.

But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER
- Translated Fragment of "Ice Cream"
I really can't do it. I feel like I'm the only one that's been robbed. It's unfair, so everything should be doomed. For my own mean wish, I'm going to pray to be able to do small, evil things. Secretly, secretly with my heart, I wish for things to be unfair for everyone.
Erich Fromm
- Is Love an Art
Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Or is love a pleasant sensation, which to experience is a matter of chance, something one "falls into" if one is lucky? This little book is based on the former premise, while undoubtedly the majority of people today believe in the latter.

- Baby Hotline
Baby hotline, please hold me close to you. Baby flatline, still time to do it to. Baby snack time, please chow down to Earth, but in your head she's a hoarder of quarters. No boundary boredoms, no boundary boredoms. I contend that your drinking eye has never opened. I insist that someone will die, and I hate hoping. Wishing that the pills let you cry, and I hate coping. Someday, I will go back outside and see her. Ok.

- Solemn Advice from my Mother's Grandmother
My mother once sat me down and looked me in my eyes with a sad strictness. She did what all parents do and gifted me with her life's advice, the same advice passed down to her by her grandmother. "If ever you are in an attempted kidnapping and are being threatened by a man to keep quiet, do not follow his command and fight until your last breath. I guarantee that where he would take you be far worse than death." I carry this with me in my life and so will my daughter's daughter.

But I watch your eyes as she walks by. What a sight for sore eyes. Brighter than a blue sky. She's got you mesmerized while I die. Why would you ever kiss me? I'm not even half as pretty. You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester. But you like her better. Wish I were Heather.

So let's spend some time talking about ethics and guiding principles that we engage with our donors. The things that we promise our donors, the things that we must deliver to our donors to ensure an ethical approach to fundraising. Some of this revolves around confidentiality. So we'll spend a bit of time talking about what it means to provide confidentiality to our donors.

The countdown stalled at T-minus 69 seconds when Desiree, the first female ape to go up in space, winked at me slyly and pouted her thick, rubbery lips unmistakably - the first of many such advances during what would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my career.

Ignorance was the enemy. Lies and superstition, misinformation, disinformation. Sometimes, no information at all. Ignorance killed billions of people. Ignorance caused the Zombie War.

I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don't want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no. I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no.

Imagine waking up, in the back seat of your car, miles away from home with blood in your hair and you have no idea how that happened. Imagine waking up with your leg broken, and you have no memory whatsoever of the happening. Imagine not being able to keep a job, because you call into work one morning, and they say, "Oh I'm sorry, but we had to fire you because we haven't heard from you for three weeks."

Well, I'm a-running down the road tryna loosen my load. I've got seven women on my mind. Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me, and one says she's a friend of mine. Take it easy, take it easy. Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

- The Expectations
Something has been really pissing me off lately. I took me a while to figure it out, but I think I finally found the answer I was looking for. This answer would the expectations of life. I have always wondered why people have such high expectations of celebrities. Why do people care so much? Why do the personal lives of celebrities matter so much to the people? Why do the people care about getting into their personal lives and "doxing" them?

Which wolf wins? I guess it really depends, just gotta wait and see. Which one's appetite's the biggest? Turns out I'm living in a horror film where I'm both the killer and the killer and the final girl. So who, who are you?
Mary Kinzie
Rather than being primarily an allegory of the mortal artist punished for hubris by a divine one (Marsyas was tricked into admitting he believed his reed flute might rival Apollo's lyre), Marsyas represents for Murdoch, as he clearly did for Titian, the pain of yearning endured and terror faced in the ordeal of creation. The artist is being remade with a new kind of beauty as we watch the painting, and a new definition of heroism is born out of this unbearable unselving.

Each individual creature on this beautiful planet is created by God to fulfil a particular role. Whatever I have achieved in life is through His help, and an expression of His will. He has showered grace on me through some outstanding teachers and colleagues, and when I pay my tributes to these fine persons, I am merely praising His glory.

- Crush on a Friend's Crush
I like the same person as one of my friends. I do not know what I should do. Do I take the shot, and risk losing a friendship but gaining a relationship? Or do I not take the shot and risk losing a chance at a relationship? I do not know what I should do.

- Sun to me
And you come from a good place, with a happy family; the only bad thing you've ever done was to see the good in me. I've been living, waiting on the day, that the good Lord willing sends you out my way. I've seen hard times, bad luck and all that in between. Sweetest of the sunflowers how you're the sun to me. And I remember being younger and my mother told me true: "Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you."
