“As an atheist I see nothing “wrong” with believing in god. I don’t think there is a god, but belief in him does no harm. If it helps you in any way, then that’s fine with me. It’s when belief starts infringing on other people’s rights is when it worries me. I would never deny your right to believe in a god. I would just rather you didn’t kill people who believe in a different god, say. Or stone someone to death because your rulebook says their sexuality is immoral. It’s strange that anyone who believes and all powerful, all knowing, omniscient power responsible for everything that happens, would also want to judge and punish people for what they are.”
-Ricky Gervais “Why I’m An Atheist”
“You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn’t really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone. You’ll see one day when you move out. It just sort of happens one day, and it’s gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It’s like you feel homesick for a place that doesn’t even exist. Maybe it’s like this rite of passage, you know? You won’t ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start. It’s like a cycle or something, I don’t know. But I miss the idea of it. Maybe that’s all family really is; a group of people that miss the same imaginary place.”
-Garden State (script written by Zach Braff)
The one person that wasn’t supposed to let you down probably will. You’ll have your heart broken more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt. You’ll blame a new love for things and old one did. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Because every sixty seconds you spend angry or upset is one minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

“After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn’t mean possession and company doesn’t mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth. And you learn. And you learn…”

‘Cause even if it breaks your heart to be ‘just friends’ if you really care about someone, you’ll take the hit.
-J.D., Scrubs
I’m so tired of people needing a reason for everything in their lives. Do it because you want to. Because it’s fun. Because it makes you happy.

Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you’ve never been. Sleep alone. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re really doing here. Believe in kissing.

Listen to the mustn’ts child, listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves. Then listen close to me, anything can happen, child. Anything can be.
-Shel Silverstein
“A true soulmate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet. They tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soulmate forever? Nah. Too painful. A soulmate comes into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. Their purpose is to shake you up, to tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and to make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.”

I think that being sad is pointless. I get sad just like everybody else, but why waste your life being sad, when there’s a whole big world of opportunities.

About me
I think an unexamined life is not worth living. Stand up and take notice. Be noticed. Do what you love and love what you do. Love. Smile. The most important thing in the world is what you do with the time you are here. Make it count. Be happy.
