"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." -J.D Salinger The human population as whole is taxing, so many names and people to keep up with. There are those who you find are rare. Those you wish to learn about. Those that made an effort to reach out to you. You and the other person are now linked as long as the relationship does.

"Always do whatever's next." -George Carlin Get done what you can. Tomorrow is coming. There is still time left. I've never felt more relief when hearing those words from not just him, but others. I try to remember these words when approached with any task. Deadlines are so like last season. There used as means of keeping sporadic people complacent. Life happens, and things happen. If need be, ignore the consequences of the deadline and do what's next.

"It was one of those problematic occasions with long silences, sporadic coughs, and people saying isolated things like, "Well, isn't this nice." — Terry Pratchett Sometimes people are not comfortable with themselves. This is okay and I am still working on this. Being able to stand there and looking in the mirror and saying "I love you." Taking those long breaks from the mirror has been pleasant, but I don't want to forget how I look.
