‘This Life Has Been a Test…’

This life has been a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received instructions on where to go and what to do. That is still one of my favorite quotes from Angela (Claire Danes’ character) in My So-Called Life. I can’t believe I don’t own the complete series yet. Slackin’ I [...]

I Need Help, the Mental Kind

Okay, this is going to be one of the most personal situations I’ve ever shared on my blog. But I’m seriously unable to come to my own conclusion and I need feedback from both men and women. I’ve been reading articles and forums and blogs on the subject in an effort to find something close [...]

Jason Mraz – ‘If It Kills Me’

Good gawd! I can’t stop playing this song. Seriously, I need help. Is there a hotline I can call with someone to talk me down from pressing the “replay” button again? Jason’s voice covers my skin in goosebumps. I feel this song every time I listen to it. Thank you to the song gods for [...]

10 Years – ‘So Long, Good-bye’

I discovered this song last night on YouTube. Wow! I can definitely see its healing power for the broken-hearted. I don’t know, maybe it’s more empowering than healing. After someone hurts you, having the ability to close that chapter on your life is really, really difficult. A song like this one could definitely give you [...]

You Had Me at ‘But I Can’t Tell You That’

Oh my. I’m now completely in love with the movie Dakota Skye. I watched it via Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” on 9/10/2009. I don’t know much about it yet aside from what I saw during the movie but I’m going to because its writer is now on my must-follow list. Perhaps a little chick flick-ish, to [...]

Misery Loves Company – I Won’t Be Yours

Misery loves company, I will not be yours. You built your prison and filled it with stories instead of memories. You wag that judgmental finger in my face. It’s sad, watching you, clinging to your blame. I am responsible for me, not you. Take off the victim glasses. See the world through the clear eyes [...]

It’s Never Too Late for Love

Reading through this morning’s online news headlines, I saw, Lost love letter reunites couple after 16 years. First off, whoa! I can’t believe Yahoo! News featured such a positive, uplifting story on Monday morning. So that fact alone made me click for the story. It turns out a couple, who met nearly two decades before [...]

Quote of the Week – Topic: Love & Relationships

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. (Dr. Seuss) I guess this quote might fall under more of an acceptance or tolerance heading, but I was thinking from more of a love or friendship viewpoint when I chose it for this [...]

Quote of the Week – Topic: Love & Relationships

I’m not a concept. Too many guys think I’m a concept or I complete them or I’m going to make them alive, but I’m just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don’t assign me yours. (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2004) I really dig this quote. It [...]

Quote of the Week – Topic: Love & Relationships

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. (The Notebook, 2004) I haven’t read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks so I’m not sure if this is a direct quote from that book or if [...]
