Just know, like a winter white snow,
You’ve been forgiven.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

To be lonely is a habit
Like smoking or taking drugs
And I’ve quit them both
But man, was it rough.

Now I am tired
It just made me tired.

Every woman I know – scratch that, every person I know – has wasted years of their life stressing over someone they would eventually find to be awful and overlooked someone who would have devoted everything to them. If I could have any super power it would be to love that desperate ass person who would be my bitch throughout this life. But, alas, I’m only human. Fine as hell, but a human all the same. And I like the struggle. You can’t force these things. You can’t love someone for reasons. You can only love them for feelings. And our feelings always seem to just do whatever they want, go where they want to go, spike when we want to hide them, hide when we want to show them. Give up now, you are at their mercy.

O stand, stand at the window
As the tears scald and start;
You shall love your crooked neighbour
with your crooked heart.

The diamond engagement ring is a 63-year-old invention of N.W.Ayer advertising agency. The De Beers diamond cartel contracted N.W.Ayer to create a demand for what are, essentially, useless hunks of rock.

2. Diamonds are Priced Well…
