I, for the first time in my life, think I realize what it means to be Tink...and think I am finally ready to make peace with it.

Balance
I believe in constantly striving to find balance. There is danger in living at either extreme of almost anything. Whether true balance can ever be attained is something I have yet to find out, but I believe if I ever quit trying to find it then I will truly be lost.

Portland quotes
"You know, you're searching and searching...I think rebellion just falls away when you find it. And its just peace."

Does not play well with others
I'm apalled at myself.

Mortified isn't the right word, but it's the first one to come to mind.

Cowardly bloodsuckers
Yielding, reaching, prodding, preaching.
Untold answers in far away pastures.
Budding prospects turning suspect to piece by piece peel away hope or reason.
Excusing the excuses made for pity's sake.
Fearful stuttering stepping towards nothing.
Giving in to giving up, to save face from no one...the vampires win.
Trading for everlasting night and sorrow to avoid the eventual inevitible.
To exist forever by merely existing.
The facade of lovely bloody reckless abandon to cover fear of truly living towards an end.
Lying, breathing, heart still beating.
Don't take the easy way out.
Could you really live with yourself if you did?
Songwriting experiment
Looking for something to find,
Fighting for someone to lie,
Searching for someone to hold,
Melting for something to mold.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate...
"It is said that love is blind. But is it? Actually nothing on earth is as clearsighted as love. The thing that is blind is not love but attachment. An attachment is a state of clinging that comes from the false belief that something or someone is necessary for your happiness."
Anthony De Mello
"My heart is Afriad that it will suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."
Paulo Coelho
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
