Different but the same

I'm in love with the mini books that Hamidah got me for my birthday. It's as if she read my mind when buying them...it's almost scary. And they're so....me. lol, ya know...it's funny how there are those rare moments when you feel eerily connected to someone, even if you aren't that close to them...and in a way it makes it even more beautiful. Anyways...point being, they've helped me out a lot~they've helped me realize a thing or two, and like my quote books, I know whenever I need a word or two to reassure me, I can whip them out. *sigh* why am I such a dork? lol

I think I've stopped trying to lie to myself about my feelings, and the simple concept of acceptance has brought me a surprising amount of joy rather than fright. It could be scary, but after these few words of inspiration, it's not. And until the day when the pieces of my life decide to fall into place again, I won't let the joys of today pass me by.

You gotta find what you truly want and love in life because I think I've decided that lying to yourself might just be the most painful and dreary experience of them all.

"Live by your emotions, for they are the only truths in this world." (One of my favorite quotes of all time)

And now for some Ben Kweller, because Lord knows we all need a little Ben in our lives:

There's no time to phone home when you're
Racing your own time.
We contemplate, you gotta wait your own turn.
Up the noise, with some poison with great poise.
You can't compare it to...
Or let it scare you through...
If every thing you do is not as smoothly as we planned.

You gotta understand there is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
They're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.

And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came

To your senses to feel it out
And try to kill off every doubt.
Your mother worries but no one worries quite like you,
And when you start you must rely on your own heart.
'Cause nothing works the same
or takes the blame or wins the game
with your head in your hands in the pouring rain.
I wanna see you as you are
Like a lonely star.

There is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
They're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.

And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came

You gotta be strong, you gotta teach your son
How to stand up straight when you want to run,
How to care and love, how to be yourself,
To be different but the same.

I've been draining my entire paycheck into DVDs...uh oh.
