Reposting this so I remember (*you know when I am stalking my own profile).

When I was little, my mom told me that throwing your chewing gum out the car window was the good and moral thing to do because it patched up people's flat tires for them, and to this day, I think it's one of the funniest lies anyone's ever told a child for no reason.

“Maybe, the only thing that has to make sense about being somebody’s friend is that you help them be their best self on any given day. That you give them a home when they don’t want to be in their own.”

“It is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty.”

“Never settle for potential and promise. Words are only words until they are actions. Don’t settle for less than what you deserve”

my kind of story

[maijugnuokayaarhu]

“““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.””

“There are times when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship.”

Ugh, this sucks. You didn’t get to arrest Francia. I didn’t get to see Mac pulled up. I guess we really can’t do it all. I don’t know. I mean, you got to do the work thing and I got to do the parent thing. So, together, we did do it all.
