What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.

Took a trip to Wells Beach, in Maine with my good friend, and had a fantastic time! :)
MAKE UP YOUR MIND
Why can’t men ever make decisions??! A friend of mine whom I haven’t seen since the beginning of this year was recently diagnosed with cancer, and stated that some company would be nice as he begins to mentally deal with and accept his situation, and eventually start treatment. I have continuously made attempts to hang out with him and have no issue driving the 3hr round trip to see him, but something always comes up -either he’s “not feeling well”, “feeling lazy”, “In a cranky mood”, “Not feeling like it”, “have plans”, etc etc etc. I don’t want to stop trying, because I really want to see him, but when I offer to drive out there, as in tonight, he states that he’s in a cranky mood, and when I say that I can come over anyways if he doesnt mind, he seems to push it off even more stating that he’s just going to be laying around watching sports, and if that sounds fun, then come over, but if not, then save my gas. And when I say, fine, tell me what’s good for tomorrow, he almost criticizes my not wanting to come over to watch a sport I don’t follow. So much for trying to be caring/whatever.
Lammeee.
What I had didn’t work out, and what I would like, I have basically no chance at, but for no (known) reason. Annoying.

Sexy Drink
I had one drink at the Olive Garden tonight and I can feel it in my face, and behind my eyes.. if that makes any sense to anyone but me. When I left, I could begin to feel the alcohol hitting me, and it got me feeling sexier? What is the deal with that?
I’m thankful that I’m fortunate to have all of these people in my life. I’m thankful that I am healthy, that I have a job in this terrible economic time, and that I am in a much happier place than I was this time 3 years ago. I am a totally different person than I was, and I have started doing things that are better for me in the long run. I have stopped holding grudges, and started moving on from things. I have started to appreciate the little things in life, especially small gestures of kindness from others, and do my best to return the favor.
On this day of thanks, be sure to extend a hand to those less fortunate. Invite those that do not have healthy ties with their family, or no family at all, to enjoy a meal with you and yours, so that they may feel the love, even if for one day. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Dashboard Confessional || Several Ways to Die Trying
Pacific sun, you should have warned us, it gets so cold here.
And the night can freeze before you set it on fire.
And our flares go unnoticed.
Diminished, faded just as soon as they are fired.We are, we are, intrigued. We are, we are, invisible.
Oh, how we’ve shouted, how we’ve screamed,
Take notice, take interest, take me with you.
But all our fears fall on deaf ears tonight.They’re burning the roads they built to lead us to the light.
And blinding our hearts with their shining lies,
While closing our caskets cold and tight … But I’m dying to live.Pacific sun, you should have warned us, these heights are dizzying,
And the climb can kill you long before the fall.
And our trails go unmarked and unmapped and
Covered just as soon as they are crossed.
An oldie but a goodie. I will love this song until the day I die. I feel like I click with it for some reason.. but I can never seem to figure out why.
Your lips are like wine, and I want to get drunk.
— William Shakespeare (via quotewhore) (via sharowned) (via iwantmybearsuit) (via brokenmachine)
I kept remembering one of my Guru’s teachings about happiness. She says that people universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you’re fortunate enough. But that’s not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don’t, you will leak away your innate contentment. It’s easy enough to pray when you’re in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments
— Elizabeth Gilbert, “Eat, Pray, Love”
