 Follow me on Twitter for more quotes The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.  You get a little moody sometimes, but I think that's because you like to read. People who like to read are always a little fucked up.  Everybody wants to change the world but nobody wants to change.  So it's not the end of the world. But I believe it's the end to a lot of things.  Wipe your mouth, there is still one tiny bit of bullshit around your lips.  If you want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it's yours forever. If it doesn't then it was never yours to begin with.  You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived, are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.  You never lose yourself, you just forget who you are.  It was nice to be alone. Not to have to smile and look pleased. A relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.  Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong, visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.  What if I were to die tomorrow? I'm not trying to be morbid or anything. It's just that life is full of surprises and what if something big happened that we weren't prepared for? I guess I would have to beg and plead the Gods to let me stay because, well, I won't be ready to leave this world until I've kissed you one last time.  I fear I am going to be alone the rest of my life. But I don't want to have to settle in order not to be.  I've seen my whole family struggle, with money, with relationships, with alcohol, and I thought there must be a better way. As you mature, you realize you don't choose your parents. It's not your fault what they do and you should not be ashamed.  Life is full of screw ups. You're supposed to fail sometimes. It's a required part of human existence.  I'm just not all there. I mean, I can analyse somebody else until the cows wander home, but as soon as I turn all that indulgent perception on myself, it's like I completely lose connection between my heart and my head. It's like the two are incompatible, and I can't get it together. And I really wish I could, because I'm so scared of what might happen if I don't.  Sometimes you just need to cry and be sad. You need to break down and be torn apart. You need to learn to pick yourself up and put yourself back together. Sometimes, the only way to be happy is to give into sadness first. Cause without sadness, there is no happiness; you would never learn to smile.  The bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
