This quote has been all up in everywhere lately, and it is pissing the shit out of me:
“Whatever you give a woman, she will make it greater. Give her sperm, she will give you a baby. Give her a house, she will give you a home. Give her groceries, she will give you a meal. Give her a smile, she will give you her heart. She multiplies & enlarges what she is given. So if you give her crap,...

Day 04 — Your favorite book
The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer Set at the turn of the century in San Francisco, it’s the story of a man who ages backwards (yes, like Benjamin Button, but way better). It chronicles the rise and fall of his love for one woman, at three different stages in his life. It’s beautiful and it will break your heart (in a good kind of way).

Tomorrow morning you will wake up feeling exhausted and find every inch of your body is aching. Your brain feels like it is in a fog; you can think but it is very difficult to understand. You presume that you are getting the flu and you stay home from work so you won’t infect anyone else.

Operation Christmas Child: Shoe Box Gifts →
Really cute way to give back for the holidays. Decorate a shoe box, fill it with gifts for a child. Then Samaritan’s Purse collects them and sends them all over the world to disadvantaged children. You can send your name and address with the gift, and the child who gets your package might write back to you. You can even track your package to see where in the world it goes.

It didn’t feel like a blessing on Saturday. It felt like a heavy weight. How could I celebrate another year of life, when she had been taken from it that very morning? It didn’t feel like a blessing when all I wanted was to cry and pull the covers over my head, forget that it was my birthday and cancel all my plans. But I didn’t. Mom reminded me that if she’d been here, and...

Major flashbacks, haha. I miss it though.
