less TV, more reading
less shopping, more outdoors
less clutter, more space
less rush, more slow
less consume, more creating
less junk, more real-food
less busywork, more impact
less driving, more walking
less noise, more solitude
less focus on the future, more on the present
less work, more play
less worry, more smiles
breathe

Just dance it off
"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."
"never love a wild thing, mr. bell," holly advised him. "that was doc's mistake. he was always lugging home wild things. a hawk with a hurt wing. one time it was a full-grown bobcat with a broken leg. but you can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. until they're strong enough to run into the woods. or fly into a tree. then a taller tree. then the sky. that's how you'll end up, mr. bell. if you let yourself love a wild thing. you'll end up looking at the sky."

"When we communicate with one another and we feel that we have connected and we think we’re understood,
I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion; I think it’s what we live for."

"They say that dreams are only real as long as they last.
Couldn’t you say the same thing about life?"
"The idea is to remain in a constant state of departure while always arriving."

You see those people over there? He pointed toward the bar. All those people have families, you can tell by their faces, they have families that depend on them and that they depend on, and for some of them this is good, and for some of them this is bad. But it all amounts to the same shit because there isn't one of them who is free. They can't do what they want to do or be who they should be. I might have no one in the world, but at least I'm free.
