You're One Hundred Years of Solitude!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Lonely and struggling, you've been around for a very long time.Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet thereis something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life allthe more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.

People are always saying that change is a good thing. But all they're really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all... HAS HAPPENED.

Losing My Mind
'Don't wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don't.
In the face of all we could lose in a day... in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that makes us HOLD IT TOGETHER.'
(GA, s04, ep15)

With You I'm Born Again
'When we say things like "People don’t change" it drives scientists crazy, because change is literally the only constant in all of science. Energy, matter - it’s always changing. Morphing, merging, growing, dying. It’s the way people try not to change that’s unnatural.
The way we cling to what things were, instead of letting them be what they are...
The way we cling to old memories, instead of forming new ones.
The way we insist on believing despite every scientific indication that anything in this lifetime is permanent.
Change is constant. How we experience change, that’s up to us. It can feel like death... or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, go with it... it can feel like pure adrenaline.
Like at any moment we can have another chance at life.
Like at any moment we can be BORN ALL OVER AGAIN.'
(GA, s07, ep1)

The Scientist
"Nobody said it was easy...
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard...
Oh take me back to the start!"

Where You Lead
I will follow...

and I miss 'em already... guess it's time I find myself a new addiction.

Naked Truth
Dark and twisty?! I'm not dark and twisty. And if I am, it's because I live my life under a banner of avoidance. I avoid. I'm an AVOIDER.

Sheldon Says,
"You bought me a present? Why would you do such a thing? I know you think you're being generous, but the foundation of gift giving is reciprocity. You haven't given me a gift, you've given me an obligation. The essence of the custom is that I now have to go out and purchase for you a gift of commensurate value and representing the same perceived level of friendship as that represented by the gift you've given me. Ah, it's no wonder suicide rates skyrocket this time of year. Oh, I brought this on myself by being such an endearing and important part of your life..."

The Heart Of The Matter
'In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes. No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions are, you are going to make mistakes.
You're going to hurt people.
You're going to get hurt.
And if you ever want to recover... there's really only one thing you can say.
Forgive and forget. That's what they say. It's good advice, but it's not very practical.
When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back.
When someone wrongs us, we want to be right.
Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled... old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we'll be LUCKY ENOUGH TO FORGET.'
(GA, s04, ep4)

It's Coming on Christmas...
"It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on!
But it don't snow here,
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I COULD SKATE AWAY ON..."
Joni Mitchell - River

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
