Umm said:“Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger
Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results
Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time yet in the same space
It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn't live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you
and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability
but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists to live a life
not half a life”
-- Gibran Khalil Gibran

"Don't worry, I get nervous a lot too." -Brad Dourif, to me, Texas Frightmare Weekend, Friday, May 4th, 2018
"It's the girl with the magic hat!" - Also Brad Dourif, same day.
"What if I told you that one day you will meet a girl who is unlike anyone else you've known. She will know all the right things to say, what makes you laugh, what turns you on, what drives you wild and most of all, you will do for her exactly what she does for you.
When will I meet her?
Well, let's put it this way, she doesn't even exist yet." - Lang Leav
"Little did he know at 20 his lover would be entering the world, growing up & coming to find him." - agegapsources, replying to a reply (about the age of significant others when they met them) on Instagram.
"New York's got the fashion, Florida's got the weather, but the girls from Texas are just a little bit better." - the song "Girls from Texas" by Pat Green and Lyle Lovett.
"Now who do you think is going places? The guy who makes up boogymen to defend his pride? Or the guy who gets his head blown off and starts taking notes." -"How it FEELS to play sniper in TF2", by LazyPurple on YouTube.
