thankful mean things-in-life
Sometimes the little things in life mean the most.
would-be stories
Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia.
pain believe thinking
HAPPY EVER AFTER is a concept I'll never believe in. I would be content to sample some little taste of happiness today, tonight, right now. Though I know without a doubt that tomorrow will come saturated with pain. Life is like that. At least my life. And honestly, I cant think of anyone whose life is any different. The price tag for joy is misery. [...]
pain believe needs
I don't need more pain in my life. Why did I invite it in? Do I have to feel pain to believe I feel anything at all?
wind skeletons stronger
The wind kicks in stronger, branches clatter. Or maybe skeletons. Bones of abandonment. Ghosts that will never be.
funny-things monsters treats
Funny thing about the monster. The worse he treats you, the more you love him.
pain memories cutting
Wish you could turn off the questions, turn off the voices, turn off all sound. Yearn to close out the ugliness, close out the filthiness, close out all light. Long to cast away yesterday, cast away memory, cast away all jeapordy. Pray you could somehow stop uncertainty, somehow stop the loathing, somehow stop the pain. Act on your impulse, swallow the bottle, cut a little deeper, put the gun to your chest.
sunshine littles capture
When you've only got one little shimmer of sunshine, you capture it best you can.
problem resolution persons
The problem with resolutions is they're only as solid as the person making them.
pregnancy book kids
Why are people so afraid of giving their kids necessary information that might prevent an unwanted pregnancy or disease? But they're not worried about the violent nature of video games or movies or books...
different
I am different. And I don't understand exactly how. And I don't understand just why.
falling-in-love lying love-is
The problem with falling in love is falling back out of it again, usually because you've fallen in love with a lie. That happens as often as not.
confused intelligent sky
I'm sad. Pressed down by sorrow. I'm angry. Pissed at God, if there is one, and the way things are. I'm scared. Confused by the whys. Why are we here? Is there, really, some intelligent design? Why do we cry for someone who leaves us if there's some Grand Pearly Gate in the sky? Why worry about how we build our lives if the ultimate ending for all is death, a single breath away? (358)
easy should given
Forgiveness is easy. Trust is much more difficult, and should never be given lightly.
