Contentment

Resting in who you are, who you have, and what you have.

To have contentment is to be comfortable with the world.

Self-awareness

The state of being in which one's participation in their consciousness is no longer passive, but active; where one does not see WITH the eye, but THROUGH it.

In self-awareness, it is not the eye that sees, but the "I" that sees.

Loneliness

Being alone isn't loneliness. Loneliness is being alone when you desire otherwise.

Solitude is the wanted withdrawal of oneself. Loneliness is the unwanted withdrawal of others.

Idiocy

When that which you ought to do is not that which you do.

"If only they didn't become as psychotically obsessed as they did over that thing because they wouldn't have a police report on then now if they didn't engage in that idiocy."

Infatuation

Where the rose-colored lenses of the mind play their trick, filtering its perceptions to see that which it chooses to see.

In infatuation, one sees the object of their affection as they wish; in Love, one sees them as they are.

Lovelorn

When you finally amass the courage to hold your heart in your hands as you make your stand before them, and nothing less than an "I love you, too," will suffice, but there's no reciprocation. Where a response of indifference cuts as deep as one of rejection, causing the very heart you bore before them to bleed uncontrollably.

Sometimes loving someone means letting them be what you may not want them to be- even if that means being with someone else. It's hard to accept, I know, but loving them means letting them be THEM, not you. Despite how much you may want to, you can't desire otherwise, because you would be destroying that which you loved so much about them: that they are who they are. And to desire that- the destruction of that which makes them who they are, denying them of finding happiness outside yourself- because you can't have it, is to do the most unloving thing I can think of; for, in doing that, you wouldn't be concerned about their happiness, but only your own. If you really love them, then, let them be them, not you, and find happiness in their happiness. It's only if you're able to do that that can you say you ever really loved them at all. Even though you're lovelorn because their love wasn't provided in reciprocation, that doesn't make your love for them any less real. Take heart; you're worth it.

Sobriety

A brain left to decide without influences.

"A drunk man's words may be a sober man's thoughts, but the thought to keep one's mouth shut isn't makes sobriety not the worst thing."
