Bye, Bye April. No one will miss you.

Although you DID end with a really great dinner with one of my favorite work friends, so there’s that.

“April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.”
-T.S. Eliot, “The Waste Land

Don’t be normal. Sadly, normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you financed, in order to get to the job that you don’t really like, but that you need, to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

This is more sad than I wish it was.

Ugh, so true. There is nothing more depressing than following that routine and feeling like a Stepford Human. IMHO.

My Quote of the Day emails know what’s up. But how do you DO this???

“There is only so much energy available to us in life. Spending it on solving problems is one possible way of living your life, but this may leave you empty-hearted; spending it on what excites you is a lot more fulfilling and fun — and effortless; and usually, the previously experienced problems vanish on their own. We don’t have to battle against the darkness when all we need to do is turn on the light.”
- Andrea Moritz

My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I’m a long way from the human being I’d liked to be, but I’ve decided I’m not so bad after all.

And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.

Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner (via whats-in-aname)

I just saw/felt/loved two quotes on my dash from The Kite Runner, which means it’s gotta be added to my book list.

Still need to start Wild, otherwise I will be the lame girl at the book club. And I also have several other books bought or recommended and waiting.

I think I need a week off of life just for reading.

It almost seems like your twenties is about having everything you ever thought was true proved wrong. And I think that’s why so many people kill themselves at 27. You just can’t take any more of finding out how wrong you were! And then, by the time you reach your early thirties, you find out that it doesn’t really matter, because it all keeps going on and what you think about it is not really that important. It’s just a matter of trying to make some sense of the small things. Stop trying to control everything and let it happen. Also, your ambitions change, become less to do with trophies, I think.

I’ve had this EXACT thought.
