…Am Too

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Unfortunately, in mid-January this year, Deo shutdown shop on his blog.  You can still find his postings.  There just aren’t going to be any new posts until (if) he decides to start back up.  Thank you for the time and energy you did share with us, Deo.  You are missed!  Namaste!!   —  kmab]
[Ooops!  (per my comment – this has been added for those who don’t read these posts with the comments in view…)  Obviously, rumors of the demise of Deo’s blog were greatly exaggerated (by me).  I am happy to note that Deo’s site is still up and running and still an enjoyable source of interesting information!    —    kmab]

In A Big World

I am good, but not an angel.  I do sin, but I am not the devil.  I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

Merry X-mas – 2013

There are only two ways to live your life.  One is as though nothing is a miracle.  The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Unhappy Alternatives

It’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.

Reasons

I believe that everything happens for a reason.  People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Undiscovered Ocean

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

A Real Lover

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.
