"If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it heavy walls, and we will furnish it with soft red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so that we should never hear it.
Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does."
-excerpt from Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

Mama told me what I should know,
Too much candy gonna rot your soul,
If she loves you, let her go,
'cause love only gets you down.

Day 04: I try counting sheep, but there's one I always miss

I need some sleep time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep and the wheels keep spinning round
