I no longer value what I used to, really. Easy to dismiss what you've got a lot of, of course. Anyway, it boils down to simple truths for me, more and more. So tell me, what are yours?



1) Reach for the stars, but keep your feet on the ground.

2) Sticking with an impossible relationship is truly only honorable and admirable within the context of a well-told story; In reality, you're better off ending it.

3) Your real friends are the ones that will forgive, even years later, when you've fucked up.

4) If you define a friendship, family, or relationship as your own personal dumping stone, then you're doing it wrong.

5) Science and Spirituality are not mutually exclusive. People just like to make it that way.

6) If your first reaction is to spill bile or break something, then you should probably walk away before you do either.

7) Persistance works better than arrogance.

8) If someone insists on taking away your autonomy and calls it 'taking care of you', they're really taking care of themselves and their new slave.

9) Sometimes, cats really are better than people.

10) There will always be horrid people in the world. The good news is that there will always be absolutely wonderful people, too. Fortunately, you usually have a choice of who to hang out with.

11) A 'good lie' will never be able to obscure the truth for long.

12) If you're wrong, the best thing is to admit it, take your lumps, and then carry on.

13) Hanging onto a hurt to dredge up constantly guarantees it will never heal.
