You can't make homes out of human beings.
Someone should have already told you that.
And if he wants to leave then let him leave.
You are terrifying and strange and beautiful,
something not everyone knows how to love.

If you have good thoughts,
they will shine out of your face like sunbeams,
and you will always look lovely.

Ok, so my weekend may have looked a bit like this, too:
After all, staying present and day drunk with some of the best people ever is just as important as being frugal and preparing for the future. Merry weekend, ya'll!

"Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home,
and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are
down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss.
You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”
