conversations about a few things
"oh my, and you would think that you would only hear of getting fired and getting dumped at the same time in flighty chicklit or sappy romance movies. who would have thought things like that happen in real life? oh but darling, as they say, it never rains but it pours."
"i never really grasp what memories are all about, or what good they are for. i never like details, so all the events that i've gone through in life is like this big, broad, fuzzy picture in some far corner of my mind. that way, the edges are softer, and you think you were happier than you really were."
"you know, you should never plan anything to a tee. life creeps up on you in ways you never expect. it's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife. or like meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his wife. well, i got those from alanis morissette. or how it always rains when you decide to go on a picnic. okay, case in point? never have your expectations too high. always always leave room for the irony that is life."

a wild flower dies
where it blooms
so let me be
a wild flower
its death shall be
the fading of beauty
