SO LONG '09!
It wasn’t the best year, a lot of misfortune and unfortunate events, but despite that, I had a lot of good times too. Thanks to those that made it a worthwhile year!
1 & 1/4 days: drinking, Caroline’s 2 hours of debating, Jaron & Ron cooking for us girls, movies, Monopoly, fight for Boardwalk, chubby bunny, flowers, side of bus messages, cards and notes

Countless and Endless
You’ve got countless and endless number of girls in your life, stop shutting everyone out. You’ve missed out on a lot in that time you focused in on that one good thing you thought you really had. Don’t waste anymore time, open yourself up again. I hope you don’t focus too much on any one thing again that you let other great things slip by you. Thanks for the offer and I...

I Don't Understand Resilience
Resilience, the ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyancy. I don’t understand. I don’t understand how amazing individuals are taken away from us, ones that do us good and do no harm to society. The good shouldn’t die young. Maybe the good dying young teaches us as a society many things about what a person can do to impact you despite...

Prayer to You
Prayer to you great grandma.. . I was never very close to you, nor did I ever visit you too often. I used to visit you more regularly when I was younger, weekly or biweekly but as I grew up, the visits were less often and shorter. I’m sorry for that, but right now, to be sitting in the hospital on my second visit since you first came into the hospital, I feel bad that I haven’t visited...

THE PROPOSAL
Andrew: Hey..
Margaret: Andrew.. Wh-why are you panting..?
Andrew: Because I've been running
Margaret: Really? From Alaska?
Andrew: I need to talk to you
Margaret: Yeah, well I don't have time to talk. I have to catch a 5:45 to Toronto
Andrew: Margaret. Margaret! Stop talking! I got to say something. This will just take a sec
Margaret: Okay, fine. What?
Andrew: Three days ago I loathed you. I used to dream about you getting hit by a taxi cab or poisoned.
Margaret: Oh, oh.. that's, that's nice.
Andrew: I told you to stop talking. Then we had our little adventure up in Alaska then things started to change. Things changed when we kissed, and when you told me about your tattoo. Even when you checked me out we were naked.
Margaret: Well I didn't see anything
Andrew: Yeah you did. But I didn't realize any of that until I was standing alone, in a barn, wife less. Now, you can imagine my disappointment. Then it suddenly dawned on me that the woman I loved is about to be kicked out of the country. So Margaret, marry me because I'd like to date you.
Margaret: Trust me, you really don't want to be with me.
Andrew: Yes I do
Margaret: See thing is, there's a reason why I've been alone all this time - I'm comfortable that way. And I think it'd be a lot easier if we forgot everything that happened and I just left.
Andrew: You're right. That would be easier
Margaret: I'm scared
Andrew: Me too
Margaret: Aren't you supposed to get down on your knee or something?
Andrew: I'm gonna take that as a yes
Margaret: Okay

Enough is never really enough
Jackson: Do you love him?
Kate: I love him enough..
- from 2012, the movie
Truth is, is just loving someone "enough" really anything? Shouldn't it be about loving someone sincerely with no limitations, boundaries or any sort of hold back? Enough is never really enough.
TUNNEL VISION
As a metaphor, tunnel vision denotes the reluctance of individuals to consider alternatives to their preferred line of thought.

Secluded
champaco:
Sometimes I can’t complain about not being included. It’s partly my fault if I don’t intereact with a certain group of friends that I don’t get invited to some outing. But most of the time I am one of those “outcast” but I’m fine with that, because I have “outcast” friends. I’m not the type of person who is “surrounded by many, but feel so alone” Maybe your the one that makes yourself...

The whole phone conversation relationships is that you fall in love with her words, not so much as a person or for her personality. Sometimes all you need when you’re missing having someone to yourself is to find the love with your closest friends, even sometimes the not so close ones because they have the ability to liberate you to see what else there is that you’re not seeing when...
11/09/08 - Plenty
I’ve got plenty to offer but nothing to offer if you’re not the right person. I don’t need to stay if there’s no reason to, there’s no need of giving all of me when I’m not getting anything back. The least I ever expect is appreciation and respect for what I do, sincerely. The appreciation and respect that I’ve been given from best friend really brought me...
