I can't wait to see my lil' beautiful Princess in the morning!!
[feeling impatient]
Just had my Princess all to myself for 4hrs and had a lovely time with her... my favourite part was possibly when she decided to spontaneously wee all over us both whilst I was changing her nappy, about 5 minutes before I needed to leave the house to take her back home!

I really enjoy deep philosophical chats with people who are emotionally mature and conscious. It is natural progression that such people transcend the ignorance and connect on a higher level every time they converse.
[with Christopher Downs and Sylvester Sylvester]
19/09/2013 @01:33
It is unnatural for people to hate, and to want anything less than the best for the people in their life. When our focuses and goals are aligned, we can combine to build a better future for the next generation. Ignorance is our greatest burden, and empathy is our greatest gift. Weak people seek affirmation by bringing down the people around them; strong people seek to make other people strong, and to unite the world in harmonious equilibrium. If we can focus on a common goal, progression is inevitable. United we will stand, divided we shall fall.
19/09/2013 @08:59
Life is unfair, and karma is a fallacy. The sooner we accept these unfortunate facts, the sooner we can proactively better our living conditions. You get out of life what you put in; we reap what we sow.

In life there are no second chances, there are no recounts, there are no replays... so give it everything you've got, and when you've got nothing left to give, when you've used up everything you have, every last piece of you... focus on whatever you hold dear, and give it even more. Be the best that you can be, nobody could ask for anything more. YOLO doesn't mean live like nothing matters, it means live like everything matters.

And every time I see you again, I remember it all like it was just yesterday.
I've always looked for love in all the wrong places, seeking broken spirits that I hoped I could save. I felt that was all I needed, because if I could fix a broken heart then my life would have served a purpose. If I could be the reason one girl smiled in the morning, then I couldn't be that bad of a person. I guess I used love as affirmation of who I was - I wielded it as a sword to protect me from my own darkest emotions, and as a shield to comfort me when I disliked my own reflection. I believe that only a girl as broken as me could ever understand me, or appreciate me - that only someone as damaged as I am could relate, accept or empathise. I have surrendered trying to be the hero, I have discarded my sword and shield - I know now that I am far too damaged to save anybody else since it took every ounce of strength I had just to save myself. Boredom and loneliness are the worst reasons for a relationship and yet I realise now, these are the main reasons we naively seek love. We see the world around us, the illusion of every other happy couple, and moreover the fairytales that Hollywood spoonfeeds us - and we yearn to experience this magic, seeking it so relentlessly we mistake lust, or convince ourselves of it's presence. I miss the memory of love, but in a world where memories are rose tinted, reality is forever doomed to falter to expectations. Love is a dream, but sooner or later, we all wake up. I'll settle for my memories.
