…there are a lot of guys in my life time that are going to be interested in me…but I won’t share that mutual feeling.
…when I do find one that I have mutual feelings for, I’m going to love him til’ the death of me… but I don’t think he will love me as much.
…so, she said I’m going to date a lot, but I won’t let any of them stick...
“I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country.”
-Rick Santorum (the guy who is a serious contender for the most powerful seat in our government, i.e., uh-oh)
I only like the idea of you.
“I keep thinking about the extraordinary conservatism of the people running the world economy, running the governments of the largest nations of the world. Let’s compare it to ages past: let’s think about the people who fought World War II, let’s think about the ’50s, the giant structures like the United Nations, Bretton Woods, the space program— those people were capable of thinking big. We don’t...
You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything… affects everything.

Sucks when someone you care for only cares about what you can offer them. Sucks when you realize the person you’d cross oceans for wouldn’t cross a mile for you. Sucks when you no longer like the person your heart loves.

I’ve been in love…really in love two times in my life. And each time…after the relationships ended, I come out of it thinking did they really love me as much as I loved them?
Or was I just convenient. Arm candy. A trophey. A lot played and a lot used. Because that’s what it feels like. And somehow, I don’t think my assumption is wrong. I wish it were, but I...

This word holds a myriad of definitions, but what is the context? To be exact, what does this word personally mean to me? As frightening as it is to admit, I live my life on an edge, precariously hanging over, for more air to breathe? I hate to suffocate. But the truth of the matter is, the heart…
I tend to do this thing where when people start...
