sometimes i think it is a relief when people just give the whole damn understanding thing a rest.

...i used to have this little card that said 'if knowing were all it took to understand, then knowing that you did not understand would seem to be an understanding.' i really like that. ...

the times when i feel closest to someone are usually not when i am understood, but rather when i am not understood and it's still okay. it's easy to love someone when you can make sense out of it all. it is harder when you can not. if someone will hold my hand even when they can't figure out why i need it held, it's important.

i am tired, and full of a mango bran muffin. damn it, i shouldn't have eaten that. great. now breakfast is going to be off. because, you know, when you eat breakfast foods before bed, it messes up the balance. what balance, you ask? THE balance. THE BALANCE. need more be said?
