Pep Talk: Putting on clothes and leaving the house. It sounds like a bad idea at first, but it’s so crazy it just might work. You don’t have to burden yourself with a plan for what you’ll do once you get outside your home and, even if you have a plan, you don’t have to stick to it. You just have…

“I believe this question was originally posed by Lao Tzu, who also wrote, “To become learned, each day add something. To become enlightened, each day drop something.” Face it: You’d be better off without some of your relationships, many of your possessions, and most of your thoughts. Chuck your chic-chick junk, chic chick. Enlightenment awaits.”

Feels so great.
I'm Going to Be Just Fine
One of my good friends and I had a falling out. When this happens, it’s really scary, because you don’t know if it’s permanent or not, but I forgot to add that when this happens, you usually wake up and remember that you have other friends who are your friends for a reason, but you forgot them because you were so focused on the friend who you had a falling out with and now you...
My friendships...
…are changing, inevitably, but not in a direction that makes me feel as comfortable and confident as it used to.

I use this quote from Janelle Monae’s “Cold War” to console me. I’m sure this is just where my head’s...

Pep Talk: Someone didn’t read your mind… AGAIN. Jesus, when will people learn?! It seems like the only way to get exactly what you want is to get it for yourself. And why not do just that? You’re self sufficient. No point waiting for someone else to surprise you with the thing you’ve been dreaming…

“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.” - Billy, age 4 “Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.” - Karl, age 5 “Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.” - Chrissy, age 6 ...
Botched Plans
Send your thanks up when everything goes according to plan because please understand (and eventually accept)—PLEASE UNDERSTAND that it doesn’t have to go according to your plan. That’s not a given in this life. It’s not under your control (well, some of it is) what all life throws at you each and every day. We just can’t know. We make our fancy plans and rage at God...
I Release Last Semester
Also known as my first semester in college, which was pretty close to disastrous level. As in, I was holding on to it as “reference point” when in reality, in healthy reality, the real reference point is wherever I want to go.

Written Right Before 2011
[2011 Goals]
I don’t remember feeling this way before. I don’t know where I am. But I have a place to start exploring. Not only is a new day approaching, but so is a new year and a new decade (can you believe we’re about to be in 2011???) and a new month to my life and relationship. I have a safe place to restart. “Refresh” is more like it. I’m not starting over, I’m just starting here.
So there’s...

You're thankful for their improvements.

Pep Talk: We’re told all the time that people don’t change… but you do, don’t you? And I think I do too. And if we do, then other people must. So maybe people do change and it’s just hard to notice. Let’s be grateful for the little changes other people are making. Even if we can’t feel them, they’re happening.
Today remind yourself: I’m thankful for your improvements.
