Spring won't let me stay in this house any longer! I must get out and breathe the air deeply again.

Gustav Mahler

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Albert Einstein

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

Oscar Wilde

I've been getting more into vegetables lately.

Even the last leaf on the tree isn't really alone. The branches and the wind will still want to play, and when the leaf gets tired and decides to drift down to earth, the softest pillow of dirt will be patiently waiting for it. After a rest, the bugs and fungi will come for a visit, and the leaf will learn to care for the roots. From then on, they will be bound to each other, until the day when another leaf is born.

Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory.

Gandhi

The topic of suicide is near and dear to me. Please watch this documentary, Saving 10000, and reblog if you can. Suicide prevention awareness is extremely lacking here (Japan), and if watching this means that one person - Japanese or other - rethinks their decision and gets some help then it is worth it. If you are thinking about suicide now, please talk to someone. If you don't have anyone to talk to, please keep trying until you find someone who will listen. Don't give up on yourself. There is hope and a purpose for you. The video is subtitled in Japanese and English. この動画は「Saving 10000」というドキュメンタリーです。日本人の自殺についてのです。皆さん、見てくださいませんか。自殺の予防するためも、reblogしてください。このドキュメンタリーを見たら、自殺しないようにしようと思ってくる人がいるかもしれませんので、お願いします。そして、今動画を見ている方の中で自殺をしようと思っている人もいるなら、誰かに話をかけて悩みを相談してください。誰も聞いてくれないと思ったら、負けずに悩みが聞こえる人を探してください。自分のことをあきらめないでください。あきらめるのはまだ早いです。生活と人生はどんな状況でも、あなたの存在は大切です。あなたの人生の希望も目的もあります。 動画は日本語と英語の字幕があります。

But you don't become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.

In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.

Mark Twain

I've come to realize what a hard simple truth it is: one must pursue the dream to live the dream.
