...like a fish needs a bicycle.

Not quite as absurd, but almost.

I didn’t watch the whole documentary. After a few episodes it was too painful. I kept wanting to scream at Pam. It took me so long to do so many important things. It’s just hard to accept that I spent so many years being less happy than I could have been. Jim was five feet from my desk and it took me four years to get to him. It would be great if people saw this documentary and learned from my mistakes. Not that I’m a tragic person, I’m really happy now; but it would just make my heart soar if someone out there saw this and she said to herself ‘Be strong, trust yourself, love yourself, conquer your fears, just go after what you want and act fast because life just isn’t that long.’

I didn’t even watch the show and I love this quote. #gopam

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans — because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone- because we have the impulse to explain who we are. Not just how tall we are, or thin… but who we are internally… perhaps even spiritually. There’s something, which impels us to show our inner-souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.

Maya Angelou on why we write. Also see Joan Didion and George Orwell on the same.  (via thatkindofwoman)

The young Royals spent some time at Warner Bros. Studios today, playing with Batman cars and Harry Potter wands. Now I’m even madder than my spells haven’t been working. Or maybe they have — if that baby is born with horns, you’ll know who to thank.
