“There are times in the lives of most of us when we would have given all the world to be as we were but yesterday, though that yesterday had passed us over unappreciated and unenjoyed.”

- William Edward Hartpole Lucky

Four Stages of Happiness

fluorescentfate — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 06:18:28 +0000

“We’ve all heard of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. By contrast, I realized, happiness has four stages. To eke out the most happiness from an experience, we must anticipate it, savor it as it unfolds, express happiness, and recall a happy memory.”

- The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin

Stuck On: ‘You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie’ by The Submarines

Today I’m stuck on: “You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie” by The Submarines

Every day we wake up
We choose Love
We choose Light
And we try, it’s too easy just to fall apart

Love can free us from all excess
From our deepest debts
‘Cause when our hearts are full we need much less

Yeah, I know we long for something fine
When we pine for higher ceilings
And bourgeois happy feelings

But here we are in the center of the first world
It’s laid out for us, who are we to break down?

Stuck On: ‘Turning Tables’ by Adele

Today I’m stuck on: “Turning Tables” by Adele

So I won’t let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won’t ask you, you to just desert me
I can’t give you, what you think you give me
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables

Next time I’ll be braver
I’ll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I’ll be braver
I’ll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

Today I’m stuck on: “Sterling” by Strand of Oaks

This year I’m going to work on stability
This year I’m going to try and keep
My friends close to me
And I hope one day to have half as much
Of my grandpa’s integrity

Today I’m stuck on: “Money in the Bank” by Dawn Landes

Everything’s right
Got a rose inside
It’s brilliant & bright
Growin’ all the time
Everything’s right
I’ve got a clear mind
Tomorrow night
Be sleepin’ in the yard

Stuck On: ‘Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)’ by The Raveonettes

fluorescentfate — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:35:12 +0000

Today I’m stuck on: “Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)” by The Raveonettes

They rip you to shreds
Make you feel useless
You’ll never forget
Those fuckers stay in your head

Boys who rape should all be destroyed
Boys who rape should all be destroyed

Stuck On: ‘Melody’ by Kate Earl

Today I’m stuck on: “Melody” by Kate Earl

Wandering, waking in an empty wood
It is quiet here, I am powerful
I look down below, serenade the world
From inside my soul

And I find that I’m never alone
And I find that my heart is my home
And the music within makes me whole
A world that I built on my own

And I know that I’m never alone
And I know that my heart is my home
Every missing piece of me
I can find in a melody

There was a time that I thought I couldn’t imagine life without him. But then I realized that staying with someone who doesn’t value me was akin to not valuing myself. So I’m moving on, and my life’s going to be just fine.

Stuck On: ‘A Change is Gonna Come’ by Sam Cooke

Today I’m stuck on: “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke

There’s been times that I thought I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able to carry on
It’s been a long, a long time comin’
But I know a change is gonna come
