    Something I find myself saying a lot:
    "Really, if you need something, just let me know. I'm here."

    And then:
    "WE IN THERE LIKE SWIM WEAR!"


    The picture represents the mysteriousness of a new discovery, as if you were to actually come across something like this in life:

    I can't remember the quote, or where it's from, but there was one related to this, saying something like, "Reputation is what the world sees." I forgot what it mentions, but the other half is what you are.

    When the adventure ends, I'd love to start a new one.

    "What do you got?"
    - The Wild One

    "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
    - Gail Wynand, from The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

    Lesse. How do I percieve myself? I'm a tiny, insignificant speck of dust, floating in a void surrounded by billions of other tiny, insignificant specks of dust. I may not be important to that speck way over there, but the specks I'm surrounded by will surely know I'm there. The ones in my immediate vicinity may not approach me, simply because of the way I look or the way I talk or the way I deal with things, but the ones who care to look a bit harder will find one of the most loyal, unerring insignificant specks of dust they ever care to meet. Can I be brash, loud and without filter? Most certainly. Can I be loving, kind and fight for you until either myself or the one who means harm is battered and bloody? With pleasure. But the unfortunate fact of the void is that most other specks don't care to see the true colors of the speck, instead opting for the easier, closed off approach, which of course causes the insignificant speck a bit of worry, as there are not many other specks for him to share love and compassion and anger and sadness with. In the simplest way possible, that is me. ^^
