I’ve been having a horrible week and reading through your entries has helped bring me optimism once more. (Specifically by helping me discover Lady Gaga’s music <3)
Thanks for the advice =]

Thanks for the advice Doe!
I only wish I’d read it yesterday, because I went to the pet shop and almost bought a new hamster. It was out of my comfort zone, knowing how bad I’d be in trouble =[

I just moved back to the US – on the way here, I was on the plane/stuck at the airport for 48 hours.. but somehow.. I’m still smiling! =)
I love making the most of the worst situations!

Just a comment on: *Never expect life to be fair*
I’ve seen some individuals using that old adage “Live is unfair” or “You can’t please everyone” to justify themselves while doing injustice to others.
Yes, unfortunately, life IS unfair, and I agree, we should not expect life to be fair to ourselves. On the other hand, the unfairness is often carried out by people, much less frequently by nature, and I believe that as humans, we came to this world to bring the fairness to life.
