I disagree with your last post.  (Day 14: Through Space and Time) 

BECAUSE time works in accordance to love. Time moves at a constant pace and love can take advantage of that. Love moves (whether deliberate or not; is it's own choice) in ways that time can't even comprehend.Time can't sense it's own speed because it has to be quickened or slowed by an over-powering emotion such as love. Time will always be moving. But love... love is free.

I think that everyone's dream of love putting time in a "chokehold"... isn't a false hope.

Love can make time sprint at 500 miles a minute or even push it to a slow, sultry tango. If love is the music; time is only the tempo...adjusted to SUIT and to accentuate the elegant sounds of what we humans experience as love.

No.8: On my way up.

"We should all grow up one day. But not grow apart."

-Mary Lawson in Crow Lake

Resolution Number 8: Sweet and simple.  I wanna be able to be with people who are where I am. Ready. And that's all; a stage of readiness. Ready to face life even when it smacks you hard on the cheek. I want to surround myself with people who are willing. Ready and willing. I know, a St. Pat's cliche... but it's expected after 5 years in this school. I want people who are just about at the top of the ladder... teetering there, just trying not to look down... trying to take a step up instead of two steps down. And hoping to God that no one at the bottom  is close enough to shake that ladder. 

No.9: Beat on

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

-Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby

Resolution #9: To forget the past and the future. To remember the now and live it. To remember that life has already started and that it depends on me to mount it and ride it out to its fullest. To focus on the now and remember that everything else will follow.
