Wonderings of an Aimless Mind

"So here I am the victim of my own choices, and I'm just starting."

"Love and law are the same, romantic in concept, but the actual practice can get you a yeast infection, but I actually liked my job."

"Men are like gum anyway, after you chew they lose their flavor."

"The real truth is that I probably don't want to be too happy or content, cuz then what? I actually like the quest, the search, that's the fun, the the more lost you are the more you have to look forward to, what do you know, I'm having a great time and I don't even know it."

"There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. ... there are some loves that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity. Someone who never lets go. Someone who cherishes you forever."

"Sometimes there's no point in the truth if all it's going to do is cause pain."

"There's no sin in loving men. Only pain."

"I need to believe that men and women love each other. I need to know that they go home to each other every night, so I can believe that it will happen to me too someday."

"Even if I get past my problems I'm just going to go out and get new ones!"

"I'm more afraid of ending up with the wrong person."

"When I first met you, you struck me as a person who has forgotten how to love, and be loved. Do you even remember what it's like to really be with someone? Maybe what you're afraid of it what you don't know."

"Love, more than anything else, is about respect."

"I did love you. Problem was you couldn't recognize it. Love is wasted on you because you'll always be unhappy, that's why I left. You may go through your good times, but we both know the place you'll always go back to. I couldn't have pulled you out of your world, you would have pulled me into yours."

"This is the problem with playing games -- somebody has to lose."

"Sometimes... when you hold out for everything, you walk away with nothing."

"I think I need to believe that it works - love, couplehood, partnerships. The idea that when people come together they stay together... I have to take that with me to bed every night, even if I'm going to bed alone."

"I need to believe that men and women love each other. I need to know that they go home to each other every night, so I can believe that it will happen to me too someday."

"The world is no longer a romantic place. Some of its people still are nowever, and therin lies the promise. Don't let the world win, Ally McBeal."

"One of the keys to life is the fast forward. Every movie has its lousy parts. The trick is to fast forward through. As time passes, you look back and say 'Oh.. that little adultery thing, oh that.' Fast forward to then, right now, and you are over it."

"Never trust a second thounght. Where there is two there is three. You will end up thinking forever."

"The last thing you want is to be in love with someone you can't have. This is something I know."

"I've been able to do a damn good job of denying the... truth...that I'll never love anybody the way I loved and still love you."

"Whoever said that 'plenty of fish in the sea' thing was wrong. Sometimes there's only one fish. Trust me."

...from Dawson's Creek

"It's agony. Complete, excruciating agony. It's like your heart is being ripped out of your chest and stomped on. You can't breathe, you don't wanna eat, you can't function. It's the most intense pain you'll ever feel, and the worst part is there's no way to relieve it. It's unyielding, merciless torture and you know it's yours for life."

P.S.
I noticed the show Ally McBeal when I was still in college - it gave me my much needed "weekly dose of humour". There was even a point where I was playing the show's theme song everyday. You know, the song of Vonda Shepard:

Searchin' My Soul

I've been down this road walkin' the line
That's painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can't hide

Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring
Got myself together, now I'm ready to sing

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home

One by one, the chains around me unwind
Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind

Oh I've been thinking of you for a long time
There's a side of my life where I've been blind and so...

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home

Baby I been holding back now my whole life
I've decided to move on now
Gonna leave all my worries behind

Oh I belive I am ready for what love has to give
Got myself together now I'm ready to live

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in my life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
