"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

Inspirational Quote of the Week

This may become a weekly thing. Maybe. I don't know.

This one makes me think of the past summer and a good portion of the school year. It literally screams of the crazy adventures Thena and I went on [along with my other Greek girls]... So much of me was utterly consumed by the fairytale life I had the pleasure of leading for nearly a year. I can't let it go.

If you had everything you'd ever wanted, could you let it go? Even though our fun and games weren't the molded version of reality, they were still my reality, my own world. They were everything to me.

I leave this quote in memoriam of Thena, Paul, and Ryan--may you never forget what once was.

Oh, and this was a good book, too...

"Go out to continue your struggle. Go on carrying unchosen burdens, taking undeserved punishment and believing that justice can be served by the offer of our own spirit to the most unjust of tortures. But in your worst and darkest moments, remember that you have seen another kind of world. Remember that you can reach it whenever you choose to see. Remember that it will be waiting and that it's real, it's possible--it's yours."
-John Galt, Atlas Shrugged.
