pyromaniac in a petrified forest

Considering I am the embodiment of anger and frustration today, I cannot even bring myself to post something thoughtful. Where I lack the words to express my complete and utter dissatisfaction with multiple avenues of my life at the moment - many others have captured them in fanciful little sayings we all like to repeat (and plagiarize) called quotes. Enjoy.

“I am as frustrated with society as a pyromaniac in a petrified forest.”
A. Whitney Brown


You know that when I hate you, it is because
I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.

Hatred is the madness of the heart.
Lord Byron


When one's own problems are unsolvable and all best efforts frustrated,
it is lifesaving to listen
to other people's problems.

I don't want to be in your future.
It's frustrating enough being in your present.

lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.

The Objective of Being Happy

We all live with the objective of being happy;
our lives are all different and yet the same.

Anne Frank


How true. My life is not so drastically different than it was a few weeks ago ... oh, but it is! Slowly but surely - things have changed; and, I have changed with them. I'm starting to like this new me, new life - and as Meredith & Molly both pointed out -- possibly new luck? Mostly because of a little thing that, with it, brought some happiness: peace of mind.
