My Big Idea

It goes like this: when someone likes you, you're indifferent. When someone doesn't like you, you're crazy for them. And that just isn't fair, now is it? You know the cliché where you want what you can't have. I've found myself in situations like that, and when I get over the person I look back and think, "what was the big deal?"
I tell myself this person (or whatever) is awesome, and I refuse to believe anything different until that person makes it quite clear who they really are.

We pursue what's just out of our reach. We're doomed for dissatisfaction because we always want more--or at least what we assume is more. In hindsight, we realize we were just pursuing what we already had.

Every person on this earth should make a pact to seclude him or herself for six months and then at the same moment come back to each other. Maybe then we'd see every person in the same light. If you can't have anyone, maybe you'd appreciate everyone.
