dear diary,
“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” – unknown.
Hee! Cutest thing i’ve heard all day

the life of an artist
dear diary,
“The life of an artist is, in relation to his work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard, often amid deprivation, to perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success in order to strip his vision of everything secondary and cheapening. His work is marked by intensive application and intense discipline.” – John F Kennedy, 1963.

dear diary,
Wow. I’m not a freak after all.
“Most people think being nocturnal is either a choice or the result of insomnia. It is neither. Nocturnal people stay up all night because that’s their body’s natural rhythm. It’s true that some people choose to stay up late and sleep in.
However, most night owls would prefer to sleep when everyone else does. Being nocturnal hinders the ability. It’s also true that insomniacs are often up all night. The difference is that insomnia is short term and treatable. Being nocturnal is not. Rather, it’s a natural state of being.” – Roselyn James

i’m unrealistic, so what?
dear diary,
Yes I am fully aware that i seem to live in my own little fantasy. And that’s only because i (really) don’t want to be just another one in 6 billion of you.
“It’s lonely at the top. 99% of the world is convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre middle-ground. Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.
If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.” – Tim Ferris

the worst enemy
“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
-Sylvia Plath.
(found it here.)
ponder this! :)
“Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.”

dear diary,
I could never bring myself to read an autobiography from cover to cover – not even madonna’s. It’s normally something i would keep and flip randomly when I would like to be quickly inspired. But i read this one, from cover to cover, because i felt i can somehow relate to her in more ways than one. I understand the drive she had in sacrificing so many areas of her personal life in order to do what she felt she had been destined to fulfill in her short life.
She idolized Joan of Arc, who said;
“Don’t think I haven’t been afraid. I was afraid all the time, from the very beginning, which is nobody’s business but mine. You get through because you think deeper, imagine more, and get over your fear first.”
From what i’ve read, she seemed so focused and determined with what she wanted for the Afghan women that the things she did in order to get themselves heard were some of which would have me pee in my pants. It’s a miracle she even survived to see 30.
What’s even more surprising is that she looks so motherly and harmless! So, no, you don’t need to shave your head, grow armpit hair and dress like a man to have the balls of one. You legend, you.
