“What I hate is ignorance, smallness of imagination, the eye that sees no farther than its own lashes. All things are possible.. Who you are is limited only by who you think you are.”

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”
—Galway Kinnell (via waterforchocolate)
Oh Mitt, saying that the best feeling I had about Obama was when I voted for him.
The best feeling I had about Obama was when he signed a law expanding health care coverage to millions of Americans.
The best feeling I had about Obama was when he helped make sure that everyone brave enough to serve in the military can do so openly.
The best feeling I had about Obama was when he said that everyone should be able to marry whomever they love.
I barely remember the act of voting for him now.
