I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not

only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay
connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away,
don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for
granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together.
Powerful stuff.

If hes not calling you, its because you are not on his mind. If
he creates expectations for you, and then doesnt follow through
on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this
and realize that hes okay with disappointing you. Dont be with
someone who doesnt do what they say theyre going to do. If hes
choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at ease and
bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesnt respect your feelings
and needs. Busy is another word for asshole. Asshole is another
word for the guy youre dating. You deserve a fcking phone call.

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in

fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your
mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as
the here and now?

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish

thing that people often say about Him: Im ready to accept Jesus
as a great moral teacher, but I dont accept his claim to be God.
That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a
man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral
teacher. He would either be a lunatic on the level with the man who
says he is a poached egg or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You
must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or
else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you
can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and
call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing
nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that
open to us. He did not intend to.

I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am

going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only
when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight,
that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And
as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle
is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going,
but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry
you.

Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere.

We can't always understand them, but we have to trust in them.
I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays
to just have a little faith.

Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with
the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far
away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to
grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you
can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind;
be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with
your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they
wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling
of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have
to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them,
love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those
who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust....
and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being
stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love
there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as
you wish without having to step outside it.

I'm about to make a wild, extreme and severe relationship

rule: the word busy is a load of crap and is most often used by
assholes. The word "busy" is the relationship Weapon of Mass
Destruction. It seems like a good excuse, but in fact in every silo
you uncover, all you're going to find is a man who didn't care enough to
call. Remember men are never to busy to get what they want.

I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from

nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is
keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving
forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in
humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself
up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.
