How well you protect your hopes and dreams will determine your quality of life. Never hang your hopes and dreams on others who can not or will not take care of them, or those who can’t even take care of there own.

His sense of timing is tragic.

That stupid, stupid man. Why didn’t he end things in August.

Stickers, coke, fever tree brand soda water.

You can either raise me up or drag me down, and right now, I don’t trust you enough to deal with either.

You know who I hang around most now? A Vietnamese gang member.

Niiiice.

I wrote it out and showed it to Brian. I wondered if this couple has slept together.

Are you listening to me?, she asked the guy.

He nods but he’s distracted.

Girl at next table just said, I kind of have an idea of how big it is…

My questions are answers so you can answer your questions.

Brian, I had 3 drinks at the restaurant!

Good girl. Tonight, maybe you can have 4…

I like people who have found themselves, not ones who perpetually get themselves lost.

How much someone cares about you shouldn’t be measured in negative affect.

We accept the love we think we deserve. You did nothing wrong. You know what you deserve. You compromise to make a relationship work, but you can never compromise yourself or your needs, or you will never be happy in the situation because you will know you compromised in the places you shouldn’t.

If a guy doesn’t think he’s good enough for you, he’s not. If he’s not ready, he’s not your guy. If he doesn’t feel he deserves you, he doesn’t. You want the guy who does not put his issues before you. You want the guy who would choose you every time. You want the guy who has been the best man he can be for himself, then commits to being the best man he can be for you.

Relax. When you find the right guy, you won’t care.

Had a great night in Portland with great friends. It was the distraction I needed. Just gotta take it day by day, not get angry when I did nothing wrong.

I asked Amber, I’m gonna be in Seattle next weekend. I can be very good or very bad. What should I be?

I think you should be very good, she said.

Damn, I said. I’ve been good for a very long time.

I know, too. If I have something coming in soon, I don’t want to fuck it up in the final lap. But I’m so frustrated with being good, doing the right thing. I just don’t know why my life is like this. I’m afraid it doesn’t pay off, that all this work, all this sacrifice…means nothing in the long run.
I’m just down.

Jerry has seen me fierce. Jerry has seen me cry. And he understands. And meanwhile, Tam quietly loves me and is the one to bring me something for my tears. Matt quietly empathizes and leads.

These are my men. These are my brothers. They remind me I am strong. On such a rainy day, I am blessed.

The most self-absorbed person, completely absorbed in his own guilt that he can’t see how he affects others.

Not strong enough for me.

Lot of people were there for me today.

Why would you want to live in perpetual rain.

I love a good thunderstorm, but its about being under the covers with someone you love. I wouldn’t want to sit out in the rain.

Welcome to the biggest mistake of your life. But I guess you knew all along, this was the only way you were gonna grow.

I’m in Portland.

Jason just said, can you hear that? It’s Led Zeppelin.

What song? I asked. Sing some lyrics.

Got a punch in the nose and it started to flow and I think I might be sinking.

I looked it up. Going to California, I said.

That’s a good one, he said.

Then All Along the Watchtower came on and I curled in pleasure.

Get the jelly while it’s there to be got. And put it in your biscuit.
