I know that’s what people say - you’ll get over it. I’d say it, too. But I know it’s not true. Oh, you’ll be happy again, never fear. But you won’t forget. Every time you fall in love it will be because something in the man reminds you of him.

Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Favorite song of 2012 thus far. Easily.

For all my could have’s & my used to be’s
you’d think that I’d have found myself some new beliefs.

My envelope is a bit bigger than that.

Off a Cliff - The Spill Canvas

This album is such pure fucking perfection that I almost can’t even handle it.

You insist I see the good in me even when you don’t

Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

And I would say I love you, but saying it out loud is hard, so I won’t say it at all.

Sufjan Stevens

This time, I’m keeping you all to myself.

Bristol Palin's gay marriage rant: Obama girls watch too much 'Glee'

Says the girl who clearly watched too much ‘Secret Life.’ 

Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.

Robert J. Sawyer, Calculating God

The Start of Something - Voxtrot

If I die clutching your photograph don’t call me boring it’s just cause I like you
Oh, take me on back, take me on back, take me back 
To the place where I could feel your heart
Is this the end
Or just the start of something really, really beautiful
Wrapped up and disguised
As something really really ugly?
