Jeux d'Enfants

Love me if you dare.

We are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.
Carson McCullers

I don’t want to sit around and hope good things will happen. I want to make them happen….I want to be in control of my own destiny.
May I recommend serenity to you? A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment. Learn to be one with the joy of the moment.
— Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive
— Thich Nhat Hanh
