Over time, I've worked out that nobody else lives in my body, nobody else has to live my life, except for me. I'm the only one in charge of whether I'm happy or sad. ~ Gabourey Sidibe

Follow the voice of your heart, even if it leads you off the path of timid souls. Do not become hard and embittered, even if life tortures you at times. There is only one thing that counts: to live one's life well and happily. ~ Wilhelm Reich

Love or Infatuation?
Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes roots and grows - one day at at time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is quiet, understanding, and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by their presence, even when they are away. Miles do not separate you. You want them nearer. But near or far, you know they are yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk loosing him." Love says, "Be patient, don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will admit it is difficult to be in one another's company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy. Love is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When they are away, you wonder if they are cheating. Sometimes you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure, and unthreatened. The feel that trust, and it makes them more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will.
Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.

Everyone can understand that being human, you want a happy life, a happy family, to be a happy individual. But material things will not provide you with genuine inner peace or inner happiness. Human values are essential. We must find a way to present basic human values to everyone—and present them not as religious matters but as secular ethics that are essential whether you are religious or not. ~ The Dalai Lama, (from "Ethics for a Secular Millennium")

I use the music as a tool. I don't write lyrics when I'm happy. I write them to ease pain. When I'm depressed, lonely, stressed -- that's when I reach for the lyric book. For me the music has always been where I go for that explosive catharsis. So, yes, its kind of limited in scope. But on the other hand, I don't ask a can of peaches to be a zebra either. ~ Henry Rollins (from NME UK, March 1997)
