“At the end of the day, when it comes down to it,
all we really want is to be close to somebody.
So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other,
is usually a load of bull.
So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to,
and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by.
No matter how much we hurt them,
the people that are still with you at the end of the day
-those are the ones worth keeping.
And sure, sometimes close can be too close.
But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.”
At any given moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don’t have control over most of them. When we get a chill...goose bumps. When we get excited...adrenaline. The body naturally follows its impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course, sometimes we have impulses we would rather not control, that we later wish we had.”
No one believes their life is going to turn out just kind of ok. We all think we’re going to be great, and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met; but sometimes our expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You gotta wonder why we cling to our expectations; because the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing still. The expected is just the beginning; the unexpected is what changes our lives.”
Change ... we don't like it. We fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth, sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything.”
