i am 3 months into this long process. 8-10 months to go. more than anything, i just want to be at the end of the road, with clarity in my mind and a definite answer about where i am going to end up next year.

i usually don’t like animated gifs, but this one is SO awesome. :)

One group of six friends were sprinting away together through the forest as he chased them. After he had been chasing them for a while, they came to a crossroads and three went left and three went right.

In that moment they knew that some would survive and others wouldn’t. The killer chose to go left and the others heard the gunshots as he shot their friends. All those who went left died, those who went right lived.”

one of the many chilling stories from the massacre in norway. i’ve been reading up on this all morning. my prayers go out to the victims. =[

i figured this out on the train today. it all makes sense now!

Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it’s a big part, and sometimes it isn’t, but either way, it’s a part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you’re alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.
