“If you hate a person, you hate something in them that is a part of yourself....”
– H. Hesse
I’ve always hated the catchphrase, “It’s always the ones you love who hurt you the most.”
Well of course this is true. It extends to more than just the people you love, but also to those you trust, respect and admire. It’s an uncomfortable paradox that the people you let in or put most faith in are, in turn, given the power to be most destructive and disappointing.
“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more...”

The Truth About Love
You never stop loving someone. You either never did, or you always will.
Things that would lead to a better world…
The following are experiences that I think everyone should have to go through in life. I believe the experiences, although most likely unpleasant, will broaden a person in such a way that they will grow to truly understand the social world. Breeding a more empathetic view on life, and maybe, just maybe a better world for everyone to live in.

Feeling what everyone craves to feel on this day, loved. :) I wish you all love too.
Just saw a commercial for the Craftsman garage that can be controlled from anywhere via an app. OMG I cannot wait to own a house!!!!
There are so many questions I do not ask you because I don’t want to know the answers.
Never try to contain a bird.
Retrospect. How much light it sheds.

“Just ‘cause i said it, don’t mean that I meant it.”
Truth is a battle of perceptions. People only see what they are prepared to confront.
It’s not what you look at that matters. But what you see.
And when different perceptions battle against one another, the truth has a way of getting lost. And the monsters find a way of getting out.

Cut the Bullshit: Radical honesty, living naked,... →
heyamberrae:
Imagine if we lived radically honest and naked lives. We told the truth, all the time. We stopped dancing on eggshells. We eliminated secrets. We cut out the filters between our brains and our mouths. Instead of a passive “no worries,” we tell our friend he pissed us off. We stop saying…
Sometimes, without warning, you just have to change the rules of the game.
Sometimes you just have to find a shelf for those thoughts that terrorize your mind. Put them to rest for awhile. Don’t worry. They’ll still be there when you return.

In the beginning, you only see the best in people. You overlook the bad, to a fault. Be careful. This will inevitably hurt you.
The difference between truth and honesty is astonishing.
God must be the ultimate delegator.
You know, I love the taxi system in this city. But being driven home in a town car at the end of a long day is really just the nicest.
