miss halfway

There’s no such thing as a grown up. We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. But the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us. We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But for the most part, we’re still a bunch of kids. Running around the playground trying desperately to fit in.

No matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, like it or not.
But here's the truth about the truth. It hurts. So we lie

The fantasy is simple. Pleasure is good, and twice as much pleasure is better. That pain is bad, and no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something, and there's only so much pleasure we can take without getting a stomach ache. And maybe that's okay. Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.

Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

there's no "i" in team

( If Derek needed a kidney I wouldn't give him one. He'd take the credit and say that he magically grew it himself. )

friends cut

I realised I have a lot of friends and I just can't keep up with my flist. I also don't feel comfortable talking about my life knowing so many people I've never talked to read it. If we haven't talked in a while, you never update or we haven't really connected you were removed. Comments are screened in case I made a mistake or you just want to say something to me.
