“If you want to keep growing, you have to challenge everything. Even your own thinking and beliefs.”

“Needy people are like newborns, I have come to realize. One intoxicated night and BAM! You are stuck with this problem. You finally take it home and it wants to keep you up all night and cries when it isn’t sucking on various parts of your anatomy.

Until then, grow the hell up and stand on your own two feet, you little crazy.”
