dan: change moves in spirals, not circles. for example, the sun goes up and then it goes down. but every time that happens, what do you get? you get a new day. you get a new one. when you breathe, you inhale and you exhale, but every single time that you do that you're a little bit different then the one before. we're always changing. and its important to know that there are some changes you can't control and that there are others you can.

thoughts on locs
1. who needs a boo when i got like 125?!

professionalism

lorna: well, your prince charming isn't coming to rescue you in a horse and carriage. that's not who you want. i mean, you're looking... you're looking for a man to be your partner. someone you could take on the world with. you gotta update your fairy tale.

love triangle
sometimes i get a call in the middle of the night. i know it’s wrong, but i just can’t stop thinking about food. i know sleep suspects something is going on, and i hate leaving her side to go cuddle up next to nutrition. but what’s a girl to do? i know she feels my side of the bed dip softly as i try to slide back into place without her noticing. or worse yet, those lonely nights...
