-DEPRECATED- The Life & Times of this Introvert.

You can’t hit the ball if you don’t swing the bat—take the initiative and ask for the woman’s number. Expect that this is the only way you will receive it.

Learning to ignore things is one of the greatest paths to inner peace.

This isn’t Wall Street, this is Hell! And we have a little something called integrity!

A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.

And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say: they think everyone else does too.

You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them, and five minutes later they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, you meet them and think: “Not bad, they’re OK”. Then you get to know them… and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality’s written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.

Life isn’t happily ever after and golden sunsets and shit like that. It’s work. The person you love is rarely worthy of how big your love is. Because no one is worthy of that and maybe no one deserves the burden of it, either. You’ll be let down. You’ll be disappointed and have your trust broken and have a lot of real sucky days. You lose more than you win. You hate the person you love as much as you love him. But, shit, you roll up your sleeves and work because that’s what growing older is.
