insecurity

sometimes i wonder if anyone
understands me
or even attempts to
because when i look at myself
i think i'm okay
compared to him,
compared to her
then you tell me i'm not and
that you chose to love me anyway
perhaps someday i'll learn
to believe that
beneath the surface
you truly see
someone beautiful

anticipation

nervous. excited. scared of being disappointed.

Wizard's 10th Rule

Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.

[from Phantom by Terry Goodkind]

roots

Reality doesn't indulge wishes.

To those seeking the truth, it's a matter of simple, rational self-interest to always keep reality in view. Truth is rooted in reality, after all, not the imagination.

~Zedd, Phantom by Terry Goodkind

heart of stone

Those who are far from insane often act in an irrational manner. Don't excuse such conscious and deliberate actions with so convenient an explanation as insanity.

When she gave him a puzzled look, Zedd opened his hands in a gesture of pained frustration at an old dilemma he had seen all too often.

All sorts of people who strongly want to believe in something are frequently unwilling to see the truth no matter how obvious it is. They make that choice.

[from Phantom by Terry Goodkind]

seemingly right...

profoundly wrong.

loyalty

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Loyal

You stick with your friends no matter what, even if you feel like they're doing the wrong thing. You believe in letting people figure out their own path in life. It's not your place to interfere. And part of your loyalty means that you'll do a lot for your friends. You definitely go the extra mile. You'll even do great things for friends without them asking. After all, that's what friendship is all about. You are truly a friend for life. And you have friends you've known since you were a kid. Your friends can count on you to do a favor, remember a birthday, or just be there to listen. Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else You really can't be friends with: Fickle people who change friends quickly Your friendship quote: "Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows."

What Makes You a Good Friend?
