Your terrible job is the dream of the unemployed. Your house is the dream of the homeless. Your smile is the dream of the depressed. Your health is the dream of the ill. Don't let difficult times make you forget your blessings.

I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.

Virginia Woolf
I want Al to do my laundry and dishes...
so that I can do art and writing.
Not for Al to do my art and writing
so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

Anna Maciejewska
Someone said "30 years ago," and my mind went to the 1970s, but they meant 1995, and now I need to lie down.

I hate how accurate this is.

These are great tips!
I have an issue with number five. Okay, remember a person's name, that's great. Don't overuse it, though. One of my personal pet peeves are the people who say your name a dozen times in a short conversation. It is bloody annoying and puts me right on edge.
I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company.

Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer
Some bridges are beautiful when they burn. There's a calmness that takes over when you can't go back. When you've changed. When you've decided. When you've left behind a version of you, that is no longer you. The end of everything is the start of anything.

Oh, I LOVE this! *Heart*
"Walk me home in the dead of night
Cause I can't be alone with all that's on my mind
Say you'll stay with me tonight
Cause there's so much wrong
That's going on outside..."
— P!nk
I love the way the earth rotates.

It really makes my day.

Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow - whether there is a market for it or not! The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens afterward. I would tell all of you watching this screen: before you go to bed, write a four line poem. Make it as good as you can. Don't show it to anybody. Put it where nobody will find it. And you will discover that you have your reward.

Kurt Vonnegut

Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.

André Gide
Earth without art is just 'eh.'

In Spanish, French and Italian, "decisions" are something you "take" like a train that leads you somewhere new, whereas in English you "make" them like little pieces of your own creation. But in German you "meet" them, like friends.
