We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.
If you think like that, you surround yourself with
other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there.
Assemble yourself with wild things,
with songs of the sparrow and sea-foam.

A man who will Kiss the Flame.

You're so shallow.

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,

Light does the darkness most fear.

and I'm willing.

and move yourself at the same

I confessed recently to an old friend,
"I realized I was looking at you,
in your visit, through old glasses.
Speaking old words.
Telling old stories.
I realize that in my life I've made so many
physical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up."
Time for my spirit to look at my friend
through the new glasses of current life experiences.
Old friends are precious.
They become even more treasured when they are wrapped
in the currentness of life experiences
and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.

This life is what you make it.
Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes,
it's a universal truth.
But the good part is,
you get to decide how you're going to mess it up.
Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway.

The ones that stay with you through everything -
they're your true best friends.
Don't let go of them.
Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world.
- Marilyn Monroe
Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck.
If you live through it, you start looking

In contrast, when the world is viewed

the future becomes unlimited.

People sort themselves into groups
of happy people and unhappy people
through two different, but complementary mechanisms,

At the same time, I feel an affinity
for others who are like me in some way -
in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.
