just breathe
“ Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world to make me bleed ”
Pearl Jam - Just Breathe
My favorite "Easy A" quote
- Rosemary:
- Not to mention how have you been dressing this past few day. No judgement, but you kind of look like striper
- Olive Penderghast:
- Mom!
- Dill:
- [to Olive] A high-end stripper, for governors or athletes.
Disappointment
Can do a couple of things.
It can drop you into a giant
sucking sinkhole of
depression,
a place you have to fight
to climb out of. Or it
can trigger an epic
mania
to overcome the odds
and transform failure
into success. Say you
swing
as high as the chains will
take you because you seek
the thrill of flight, and on the
up-
kick, you lose your seat.
Injury is likely. But if you
worry about falling
down,
and never chance “up,”
the sky will remain
forever out of reach.

Back Turned
You
don’t have to look at
what you’ve left behind
And the person who first
turned their back on you
can’t
watch you break down
and cry. Never allow
an enemy to
see
weakness in you
Go for the throat.
Shoot for the groin.
Don’t let your loss
yesterday
redefine who you are.
Fight the good fight.
Today is your day to win.
-Ellen Hopkins — Perfect
