All that I've regretted saying, I've never regretted writing. Until there came social networking.
My name is Melissa. I'm weird, Californian, and 22.
Charlie Chapman in The Great Dictator vs. Inception
In his first talking picture to remember, Charlie Chapman, enhanced by original soundtrack “Time” from Inception.
More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life would be violent and all will be lost…
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all…
You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate!

Patrick Stump’s “Love, Selfish Love” from his EP Truant Wave
You make me come back to you right after.
In the most ugliest of times, the purest suggestion can alter the atmosphere. This is what makes love so effective. It’s like when you’ve had an off day, and a child asks a most innocent question making you realize how foolish you were being.
Lust breaks you down proudly.
Love breaks you down humbly.
Every time you look at me, my heart beats almost twice as fast.
And this scene from “Amelie” returns to my mind.
If only reality was just as beautiful.
Sometimes it’s easier to tell your boss you want a raise or to resign,
to tell your loved one they are addicted or too fearful,
and your enemy you’re angry or forgiving…
than it is to tell someone you’re in love with them.
If it truly exists, does it for women? Because it seems we fall in love at first sight so many times! But when it comes to men, it happens beautifully.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
One’s selfishness starves others of what they [a unique individual] can supply. Love should be applied in every opportunity.
The bible says that “perfect love drives out all fear.” 1 John 4:18
In whatever situation you’re facing right now, fear can only overcome in lack of love. Just how our bodies get cold and we’re in need of warmth.
So when you’re afraid of leaving someone because of something that might happen, it indicates not that you’re in love; you’re scared.
Or if you’re afraid of taking a job opening because of potential rejection, even if you do it, you won’t have as much as good drive as taking the job in hopes of great expectation and experience.
So for your relationships and future, I encourage you to do things because you love to do them. Find love in everything you do and you’ll find yourself exactly where you need to be. At peace.
I’d rather say more “I hope, I hope, I hope“‘s than “I’m scared…I’m nervous…I’m shy!” Because the former was easier to say as a teenager and the latter seems to get more effortless to say as I get older.
