The Perks of Being A Wallflower

I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.

There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.  

Communications: Making Connections

No two people share the same meanings for all words because no two people completely share the same back ground and experiences.

On the Way To The Wedding

But when he said he couldn't shoot, it just seemed to make an odd sort of sense to tell him that Hermione couldn't dance. It fit, really. Men were supposed to shoot, and women
were supposed to dance, and trusty best friends were supposed to keep their foolish mouths shut.
Clearly, all three of them needed a bit of instruction.

"Yes." She sighed again, with even more drama, not that Gregory would have imagined it possible. "It is all so romantic," she added. "The bride, the groom."
"Both are considered standard in the ceremony, I understand."
His mother shot him a peevish look. "How could I have raised a son who is so unromantic?"
Gregory decided there could not possibly be an answer to that.

"You might wish to revisit your understanding of the word everything." Gregory turned to his mother. "Vocabulary and comprehension were never her strong suits."
Violet rolled her eyes. "Every day I marvel that the two of you managed to reach adulthood."
"Afraid we'd kill each other?" Gregory quipped.
"No, that I'd do the job myself."

It was a damned good thing men couldn't have children. Gregory took no shame in admitting that the human race would have died out generations earlier.

He stepped toward her, and her heart just ached from it. His face was so handsome, and so dear, and so perfectly wonderfully familiar. She knew the slope of his cheeks, and the exact shade of his eyes, brownish near the iris, melting into green at the edge.
And his mouth-she knew that mouth, the look of it, the feel of it. She knew his smile, and she knew his frown, and she knew- she knew far to much.  

Step up 2

-But what if it wasn’t my life? what if I could just walk away from it?

-Well that would depend on what you’re walking to.

-But may be its not about going back. May be its about being where you are.

Peter Pan

You know that place between sleeping and awake, that place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always think of you. So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!  

Full Metal Alchemist

Even when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world that exists outside ourselves and our dreams.

The Rescue

Youth offers the promise of happiness, but life offers the realities of grief.

People come, people go-  they'll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.


Everyone has crap in their background, everyone has things they wish they could undo. But most people don't go around doing their best to screw up their present lives because of it.

Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious thing in the world.

It's what made it possible for me to go on, but you don't seem to realize that. Even when love is right there in front of you, you choose to turn away from it. You're alone because you want to be.

It took me a long time to realize that distance can ruin even the best of intentions.

These days she simply did the best job she could, accepting the good with the bad.
