I've been listening to the 'Once' soundtrack since I sat down at my desk...2 hours ago. It has not put me in one of those quite moods. I've been very soft spoken.

I'm not eloquent. I've tried and I just can't live up to that...I strive but am not sure if I'll ever be. After years of grasping onto the opnions of others and their points of view, I've realized I can only be who I am. I wasn't meant to be them or live their lives. Trying to live my life in comparison of other steps has come to fail. Though we may read the same books or sweeten our coffees the same- we are our own people and should strive to be such. Right?

This time in my life could be considered a quarter life crisis I guess...that is in assumption that I will only live to be 80. (I'm striving for a good 96 and 3/4...if at all possible.)
i love quotes though. quotes and lyrics are one of my all time favorite things. I have lots of favorite things it seems, but quotes top the charts standing in the same crowd at lemonade, wind, gray days, the smell of the day in the middle of fall....you get the picture

"Now we all have a great need for acceptance, but you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go, "that's baaaaad." Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in the wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
