Life 59....

Dont throw yourself out on another’s whim. People change, as do intentions and as a Result, consequences. Live for yourself - Love those around you, but realize that they’ve got their own agendas. -Alex Gaskart

Never forget where you come from, you may have to go back someday.

The choices we make in life aren’t always accurate reflections of the people we are inside but they are what everyone else around us sees, for better or for worse.

It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what’s changed, is you. -The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

That’s the thing about the Earth: It doesn’t stop to acknowledge the daily disasters of the living. It just keeps spinning and sucking. I think that’s what drives people towards faith, that unsettling realization that the physical world goes on without them, before them, after them, without recognition or sympathy. -Jim Lynch, The Highest Tide

If something is not happening for you it does not mean it's never going to; it just means that you're not ready for it yet.

"Addiction is a decision. An individual wants something, whatever that something is, and makes a decision to get it. Once they have it, they make a decision to take it. If they take it too often, that process of decision making gets out of control, and if it gets far out of control, it becomes an addiction. At that point the decision is a difficult one to make, but it is still a decision. Do I or don't I. Am I going to take or am I not going to waste my life or am I going to say no and try and stay sober and be a decent person. It is a decision. Each and every time. A decision. String enough of those decisions together and you set a course and you set a standard of living. Addict or human. Genetics do not make that call. They are just an excuse. They allow people to say it wasn't my fault I am genetically predisposed. It wasn't my fault I was programmed from day one. It wasn't my fault I didn't have any say in the matter. Bull. There is always a decision. Take responsibility for it. Addict or human. It's a decision. Each and every time. — James Frey, A Million Tiny Little Pieces

Never deny that you want what you want. -Steve Pavlina

Life is too ironic to fully understand. It takes sadness to know what happiness is. Noise to appreciate silence. And absence to value presence.

The world breaks us all. Afterward, some are stronger at the broken places. -Hemingway

You don't have to learn how to control your thoughts; you just have to stop letting them control you.

Memories are what warm you up from the inside. But they’re also what tear you apart. —Haruki Murakami

I know it feels like you have all these options and when you make a decision, you lose a world of possibilities. But the reality is, until you make a decision, you have nothing at all. -Janet Finch
