These thesis thesissing things

Ok, so I feel that I need to write a note to myself and to anyone else who might be interested. I should not be checking out or writing blogs until I am am done with my thesis! If you see me leaving a comment, please chastise me!

All in all

So, I guess, I'm a woman of a few words (the blog evidence would suggest). But I would like to share something with the world, something that my dad always told me. I try my best to keep to it as I believe it is a really good bit of advice. I don't know if he got this bit of advice from someone else or if it was his own, unfortunately I can't ask him now. He said "Don't say anything unless you have something good to say." I take this to mean that you shouldn't be fake in anyway and that you only try and build people up. And perhaps it's the whole deal with quality versus quantity. I am so happy that my friends are not the bullshit talking kind and are happy to just sit quietly until they have something important to say. Also, a past discussion with two of them gave me another realisation. The realisation that we don't really understand how much impact one can have on someone by what you have to say to them. Anyway, that's all.

Yin and Yan

So, i was wondering why and how it is that life can make such dramatic turn arounds. One minute your completely overwhelmed by everything and the next minute it changes into a place of serenity. I think I love this about life. Even when the shit hits the fan, and it gets into ur hair and clothes, you'll be smelling like roses shortly thereafter. And if ur friends dye ur hair super hectic blonde and then red and it turns out completely uneven, u'll have a gorgoues mahogany do the next day. Come on life, show me what u got!

I am free

I am free today, free from the confines of my mind
I am free from the heart ache and the constant self-criticism
I am free from my constant pondering and re-assessments
I am free from you!
I am free from me!

to bare all or not to bare all

would you tell someone that you love them, if you knew that they didn't love u?

And so it goes - Billy Joel

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows.
