Dear Perfectionists,

There's no such thing as Perfect

I felt, that night, on that stage, under that skull, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone. I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it? What’s so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What’s so great about feeling and dreaming?

from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

To The Strange Stranger

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought, there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true that I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you"
- Frida Kahlo

Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t rest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Always.

at first glance it may appear too hard. look again. always look again.

And I know I’m sarcastic and defensive and I make a joke out of everything and am highly resistant to anything that reeks of sentimental corniness, but I’m giving you my heart anyway because being with you feels like home, and I know you won’t break it.
