The Passing of Time

nobody@vox.com(I) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:38:00 -0700

You can be happy tomorrow. You can be happy when you get through your list of things to do. You can be happy when you meet the one. You can be happy when you get the right job. You can be happy when you get that raise. You can be happy when you stop buying the things you need and start buying the things you want. You can be happy when you retire. You can be happy when the weather suits you. You can be happy on a plane. You can be happy in the rain.

Or you can stop reading this, take a deep breath, and be happy right now.

The Right Side Up

The sky looks like it's falling.

But that's only because you're about to fly.

The Cut And The Paste

nobody@vox.com(I) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:35:00 -0700

Other people will edit you your whole life. They'll take what you say and keep the bits they like and throw away the rest.

Don't edit yourself. Let other people do it for you.

The Slow Hope

nobody@vox.com(I) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:58:00 -0700

I hope you get what you want or you want something new. I hope you appreciate how you feel now when you start to feel differently. I hope you spend your time with someone you love, even it's just you.

The First Act

nobody@vox.com(I) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 08:32:00 -0700

You have this idea of what kind of movie your life is and you expect the characters you cast to behave a certain way. To read from the script.

But the best ones never do.

The Luggage

If you buy a bigger bag, you will find more to carry.

Sometimes a smaller bag is better.

You know who you are. But does anyone else?

The Songs We Sing

Somewhere, someone knows the words to the songs you sing.

The Day You Stop

nobody@vox.com(I) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:34:00 -0700

One day, you will die.

You will stop and the world will carry on. Lovers will love. Others will shop, laugh and cry. Sometimes alone. Sometimes together. The radio will keep playing.

But you will be gone.

Only the love you gave, the souls you touched and the people you changed, will remain.

They will carry on for you. They will pick up where you left off.

There is nothing to be sad about here.

The Wall Inside

nobody@vox.com(I) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:32:00 -0700

The wall is there because you want it to be there. It stops you because you want it to.

When you're ready, it'll fade away. And reveal the dreams beyond.
