“'And I write novels!' chimed in the other cop. 'Though I haven’t had any of them published yet, so I better warn you, I’m in a meeeean mood!'”

—The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

I feel quite quickly and easily forgotten.

And no one ate my cookies that I put my heart into. -_____-

“One hot afternoon during the era in which you’ve gotten yourself ridiculously tangled up with heroin you will be riding the bus and thinking what a worthless piece of crap you are when a little girl will get on the bus holding the strings of two purple balloons. She’ll offer you one of the balloons, but you won’t take it because you believe you no longer have a right to such tiny beautiful things. You’re wrong. You do.”

Me, Myself, and Ennui!

Haha, nice! Ennui is one of my favorite words. I dare you to say it in a way that doesn’t make you sound as if you, yourself, suffer from ennui.

i wish i could always be stronger than my emotions.

i also wish i could be in a gym flipping on beam right now.
accomplishing something difficult and flying and being solid despite so little would be really nice.

guess i have to find strength in my head without strength in real life.

“A grief without a pang, void, dark, and drear, A stifled, drowsy, unimpassioned grief, Which finds no natural outlet, no relief, In word, or sigh, or tear -”

—Samuel Taylor Coleridge - excerpt from “Dejection: An Ode”

Sometimes, it doesn't all work out.

Dreams come crashing down, hopes and aspirations fall through. Things don’t work exactly as you planned them; the way you saw your future doesn’t line up with your present. What you thought was good enough, wasn’t. But it’s not reason to give up. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel; if the tunnel collapses, you dig through the rubble. You salvage what you can, take what you’re given. You just have to make the best of your scenario, and hope for the best. Because if someone says you’re not good enough, take the time to show them that they weren’t good enough.
