"It's true, hope can cause pain." - Joanne Kyger

"I one time met an Australian person online and I said something about liking chips and dips and they go 'Oh, I've heard that people eat dip. What is dip?'" -Me

"Violence is not a mystery. Or if it is, the solution is so much bigger than just finding out who did it. Whenever there’s a mass shooting, people want to know why. We want to have a motive, and then when we get the motive, it’s always incredibly dissatisfying — because there’s nothing that could justify shooting a bunch of people, and that’s also true of killing anyone." - Alice Bolin

Don't murder me, don't murder her. Don't murder him and don't be hateful to that group of humans. Also don't hunt. Plant something and call home. Don't throw up unless you're on chemo (or dealing with something similar), and enjoy your breezes. I am your friend, but I can't always be there.
