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]

Happy Birthday, Rebecca

This life is what you make it.  No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth.  But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up.  Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway.  But just remember, some come, some go.  The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends.  Don’t let go of them.  Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world.  As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too.  And baby, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soulmate.  You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything.  Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything.  Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie?  So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.

We Are Not Alone

It’s often just enough to be with someone.  I don’t need to touch them.  Not even talk.  A feeling passes between you both.  You’re not alone.

Lacking

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Eye Catching

Boys think girls are like books, if the cover doesn’t catch their eye they won’t bother to read what’s inside.

Comfortably Bound

Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced.  They can think themselves into other people’s minds, imagine themselves into other people’s places.
And many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all.  They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are.  They can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally;  they can refuse to know.

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.
