"The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough. Nothing else really counts at all."

- Ted Hughes

"There isn’t a woman I’ve met that I haven’t fallen in love with, whether it’s for 10 years or 10 minutes."

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit."

It’s 2:45AM and I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I really enjoyed the book and was incredibly moved by it.

Times change! Before I used to read in books but now I read on my Kindle. Although nothing will compare to having the actual physical book, I thought I’d give the Kindle a chance. I do enjoy having the ability to carry many books for my reading pleasure in a small form factor.
Currently I’m reading “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. I’m about a quarter of the way through and I am eating it up.

A good song is so infectious. I can feel it inside me running through my entire body. I’ve often found that a great song will take me back to the time period I listened to it frequently. No other experience can really compare whether it be a scent or a photograph. Listening to a song is event dependent and often occurs many times with different people in different places in different moods. Someone a while ago recommended that instead of scrapbooking to remember a time or event that I should create a mix CD. Naturally of course, I haven’t. And naturally of course, I wish I had. Nevertheless with the internet (Pandora, YouTube, Spotify) storing all my playlists, favorited songs, etc. listening to music I previously obsessed over has been a lovely way to time travel back to different periods of my life.

Here is a song that will bring be back to this moment now:
