Peter: Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come with me where you'll never, never have to worry about grown up things again.
Wendy: Never is an awfully long time.
Why do we have to grow up?
Mrs. Darling: There are many different kinds of bravery. There's the bravery of thinking of others before one's self. Now, your father has never brandished a sword nor... nor fired a pistol, thank heavens. But he has made many sacrifices for his family, and put away many dreams.
Michael: Where did he put them?
Mrs. Darling: He put them in a drawer. And sometimes, late at night, we take them out and admire them. But it gets harder and harder to close the drawer... and he does. And that is why he is brave.
To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure...
Watching one of my favorite movies and drifting off to sleep, after another monstrous day. Peter: Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come with me where you’ll never, never have to worry about grown up things again. Wendy: Never is an awfully long time. _________________________________ Peter: Why do you have to spoil everything? We have fun, don’t we? I taught you to fly and to...

i'll be the one to confess that i can't go on like...
I am exhausted. Emotionally. Physically. Mentally. My heart and body and brain all hurt. I have verged/fallen into tears for the past 48 hours straight. I just can’t go on like this.
try
the open road is calling me and i’m trying to be strong but as much as i want to stay here tonight this isn’t where i belong it’s hard to look in your eyes tonight there’s so much i want to confess like the way i’ll miss the curl of your lip and waking to watch you dress and it’s hard to love me, i know but it’s harder to tell you goodbye and you never...
Honesty.
I can’t think of many things that bother me more than being dishonest, whether directly or by omission. I would (rarely) be upset with someone I care about telling me the truth, regardless of what it is. I will always be upset about someone I care about witholding the truth or lying to me about something, especially something important. You made me cry so many times today, without even...
So Sleepy.
My second Winter Intensive began tonight. I am absolutely exhausted. The re-organization of my department is beginning to transition and I just know that every day is going to be busier — making me more tired every night. It’s nights like this I wonder why I’m in business school. My schedule for the next week (including WORK, 7:30AM-start of next activity): Monday: Class, 6-9....
Great Loves
For many years, I have strongly felt — don’t laugh — that I would have three great, soul-changing loves in my life. One, the first, I would lose forever. The second would become a great friend. And the last would be my match. It’s funny because I never really believe in stuff like this — astrology, horoscopes, things that this “feeling” would seem to...
Have you ever been in a room surrounded by people,...
I don’t know why, but lately I’ve been really lonely. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a boyfriend or because things have been kind of up in the air at work. I’m really not sure. But I’m always around friends or coworkers or clients, and yet I feel completely alone at times. I guess it goes back to what I was saying about showing my whole self to someone...

Love
With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’ve been thinking a lot about love and relationships. It’s funny how different people, even very similar personalities, can be when it comes to love. Take my friend DL, for instance. She’s a total tomboy, loves sports and seems completely independent — but when it comes to relationships, even friendships actually, she is completely...
One of the most romantic lines in movie history...
Linus Larrabee: Go ahead, say it.
Fairchild: You don't deserve her.
Linus Larrabee: I don't, I know that; but I need her, and I don't need anything.
Leavin' on a jet plane...
Yes, obviously it’s incredibly cliched. But, I am leaving tomorrow for my first solo business trip to, well, anywhere really. This also happens to be international, to a country where I have never been. I am very excited, but if I could finish this paper and get my apartment cleaned and pack, I would be more so! Plus, Danny has an incredibly difficult decision to make tonight, so...
I'm really sleepy so instead of writing the paper...
It’s you, you dope.
You're great too, you know.
Me: Hang in there.
Danny: Thanks. Ur great.
Me: I know. U too.
Expectations
Someone was recently talking about how high her parents had set their expectations of her: she was forced to take summer classes in middle school because she got one B (in math). My parents weren’t quite like that, but they definitely had their quirks: From the time I was a kindergardner, my mother watched what I ate. I think I went on my first diet when I was 8, strictly enforced by my...
It's All in the Timing
I don’t think truer words have ever been spoken. Have you ever seen the movie Sliding Doors? It’s all about how a split second can change your life forever. Same concept as the whole a-butterfly-flaps-its-wings-in-Brazil-causes-a-hurricane-in-Africa theory. Sometimes I feel like my perfect match, my “lobster” for those Friends fanatics out there, is Danny… But we...
RELATIONSHIP RULES FOR 2008
Rule 1: No more being shy. We only live once. Flirt like you’re curing cancer. And kiss like your life depends on it. Rule 2: No more regrets. Sure, in 2007 you may have agonized over your last failed relationship or terrible move, but this year you’ll realize there’s only strength to be gained. Know this: If you learned even one small thing from what happened in the past, then...
dance.
I want to lose myself for good. I want to burn with passion. I want to dance with you…

Opportunities
Danny has been offered an amazing position in our PR department. He’s going to be a VP at the age of 31! I am so excited and happy for him — he’s really an incredible man and deserves all of his success. He works harder than anyone else I know, is incredibly smart and so personable. Everyone loves him. Believe me, I know — it gets incredibly annoying to hear it from...
