Love
The last two quotes are from a blog post my friend Jordan wrote about losing somebody with whom he was very close. They struck me because they are ideas I have tried to express about love many times, but was never able to do so poetically.
I think a lot of people could stand to learn those lessons and to realize that the relationships we have and the people we are are more important than...

It Gets Me Every Time...
Chuck: We talked about this; you are not my girlfriend.
Blair: But I am me. And you are you. We're Chuck and Blair, Blair and Chuck. The worst thing you've ever done, the darkest thought you've ever had, I will stand by you through anything.
Chuck: And why would you do that?
Blair: Because I love you
Chuck: Well that's too bad.

Sounds pretty simple to me. Researching a way to get the h-e-double hockey sticks outta here (the US of A) come January.

"This is the end, Chuck."
That moment was bittersweet.

I’m pretty sure that this is the first time I’ve ever watched DWTS. I don’t hate it. The thing is, I kinda love dancing. So this makes me happy.
I miss tap class.

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
– Buddha (via kari-shma) (via quote-book) (via heyfriday)
I think the biggest mistake a lot of people make is thinking that our unalienable rights include “happiness,” when in fact the Declaration of Independence only secures us the right to “Life, liberty, and the PURSUIT OF happiness.”
It’s not the government’s job (or anybody else’s, for that matter) to keep you happy. You have to do that for yourself. Get...
