The Paradox of Choice

We assume that more choice is a good thing, but research has shown that more options lead to less happiness with whatever option is selected.

In a world of abundance, what we truly crave is scarcity.

Everyone has become unreal with each other because they are afraid of people's feelings towards their realness; we don't admit the truth any more because we are afraid of going against social media and celebrities.... sincerely, honesty might become illegal, not by law may be, but by custom.

Never Broken

My heart is in your hands. What will you do with it?
I give it freely; I've not had it broken before.
I may not deserve it, but I hope we end together.
We may not make it, but we have to try, right?
How could we sacrifice what we have, something so beautiful.
These are the things dreams are made of, that which we have,
Things sometimes never achieved.
We have.

You tell me you're mine, if I ever want you.
How could you even doubt it?
I never have.

You say you're independent - so am I.
You don't want to be tied down too early.
I'll help you fly.

You say you don't want to spend eternity without me.
What kind of God would do that to us?
Not any God of mine.

Time wasted on meaningless pastimes, without you.
So many things I want you to see, to be with me through.
I can't wait for the day I never leave you, together.
The day we become one, in God's eyes, forever.

Love does not begin to say it all.

The "prospect and refuge” theory

The "prospect and refuge" theory may also explain the human attraction to cosiness.

It asserts that people have a preference for smaller cave-like places that open onto brighter views. The small area provides safety and refuge, while the expansive outdoors allows you to see any threats or opportunities.

How to Die part 1

everyone seems to walk away in pairs
hands on my head i pull at my hair

i'm so good at pretending i'm high
only one girl noticed me cry

      First you must know how fucked you really are
      Second you must not have any friends
      Third you must realize how fake the "compassionate" are
      Fourth you must shut your heart closed cos
             there is hope in love

i don't feel like pretending to be happy anymore
cos i know i am the guy no girl is for

a necktie never felt so good...
