I don't know what any of this means
Why we go through so many things
Scared of death and too afraid to live...
It is what it is, wasn't meant to happen any other way
'Cause it did, doesn't really matter what you wanted in the end
-"Is what it is" Judah & the lion (abridged)

Don't you love it, don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad
Don't you love it, don't you love it?
No, I ain't happy yet
But I'm way less sad
-AJR "Way less sad"

She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine -Sara Bareilles

Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it." Terry Pratchett "Thief of time"

There's no greys, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself.Granny Weatherwax-Terry Pratchett "Carpe Jugulum"

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl
"I am not that girl" Wicked

I remember blue skies, walking the block
I loved it when you held me high, I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movies
You would take me to the beach
Take me to a place inside that is so hard to reach
-Everclear, father of mine

It was easier to blame it on Them. It was depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them,then nothing was anyone’s fault. I’m one of Us. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. It’s Them that do the bad things.abvTerry Pratchett

Remember...

Somedays, I end up cashing in my bad luck. Somedays, I call it a draw.
