Quote of the day: “…female homosexuality is the emergence of psychosis into culture.” Made me laugh out loud in Peet’s. Oh Ms. Butler, you have such wisdom.

The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.

Anne Morriss, on my cup o’ Starbucks inspiration. I know, I know, but I appreciate advice on head-removal for better living. (via ihavesomanyfeelings)

I have gotten this quote on no less than five cups of coffee in the past month. Makes me want to scream! I agree but can’t get anybody else to listen!

Ugh the quarter system is an excercise in mental and physical endurance-apparently I’m out of shape.
