Quotes of the day!

I just... really liked them today!

- Henri Poincare
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.

"Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane."

Life's just kinda crazy. It's therapeutic to write it all down, so I thought I'd write things down when I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed.
Asia mentioned the analogy of life to a puzzle. She felt that her life was a lot like a puzzle that someone had taken all the pieces and thrown them into the air. She's trying frantically to catch them all and put them back in place, and it's making her uncomfortable.
I liked the sentiment that went with that. Mostly because I understand it more than I'd like to, but that frenzy. That feeling like I need to put all of the pieces back as fast as I can before they fly away. And for me, the problem with throwing them in the air is that the pieces are very similar colors. I don't remember where they fit exactly, so my panic seems doubled. I feel like I'm limited with my time, and with that short amount of time, I have to catch the pieces and figure out where they go.
And writing this down makes me at least feel like I'm really trying to catch them.
