Quote of the day

"Bringing out your own unique brand of creativity into your life and the world can be the most significant thing you'll ever do."

~Lorna Catford

This one is a given, but I've found it to be very relevant lately.

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again."

Quote of the day

"It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help."

~Epicurus

Quote of the day

"To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction."

~Sir Isaac Newton

I'm pretty sure I thought I understood that principle despite my lack of scientific knowledge, but I've recently come to the conclusion that the principle - applied to social situations - is very perplexing and quite wrong.

In recent personal dealings, I've been taught that to every action there is always a weird and strange and unexplained reaction. Connections you once thought you had with others disappear into foggy memories - those which you begin to wonder if you manufactured all on your own. It's a frustrating endeavor - trying to make sense of what others won't explain to you.

I long for a world where people say what they mean, act the way they feel and remain true to their heart.
