Love is...

"Love is the feeling we have for those we care deeply about and hold
in high regard.

It can be light as the hug we give a friend or heavy as the sacrifices
we make for our children.It can be romantic, platonic, familial,
fleeting, everlasting, conditional, unconditional, imbued with sorrow,
stoked by sex, sullied by abuse, amplified by kindness, twisted by
betrayal, deepened by time, darkened by difficulty, leavened by
generosity, nourished by humor and “loaded with promises and
commitments” that we may or may not want or keep.

The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the
motherfucking shit out of it."

Anne Rice: "I quit being a Christian. I refuse to be anti-gay..."'

Anne Rice, the bestselling novelist most popularly known for "Interview with the Vampire" and her other creepy vampire novels, announced on Wednesday via Facebook that she has officially renounced Christianity. It's a bold move for the author who has become well-known for her vehement religiosity; the majority of her frequent tweets are related to religion in some way. The author has also recently launched a new series of novels about angels, which debuted in October 2009 with "Angel Time."

Rice declared on her Facebook account that she is "an outsider" in the Christian community:

I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life.

Rice affirmed that though she has decided to leave the Christian institution, she "remain[s] committed to Christ as always."

Don't waste your time living someone else's life...

My favorite quote. 

I try to remind myself this everyday -

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

- Steve Jobs
