"we do what we must. sometimes we can choose the path we follow. sometimes our choices are made for us. and sometimes we have no choice at all."

"there must be a hell. there must be a place for the demons; a place for the damned.
hell is heaven’s reflection. it is heaven’s shadow. they define each other. reward and punishment; hope and despair.
there must be a hell, for without hell, heaven has no meaning.”

chloe: so what i want to know is, when i’m asleep, do i really remember how to fly? and forget how when i wake up? or am i just dreaming i can fly?
dream: when you dream, sometimes you remember. when you wake, you always forget.

challenge number 1: i challenge myself to pass what is probably the most important exam i will ever take in my life; performance measure: at least a passing mark (75?), first time.
all part of the freedom plan (to borrow camille’s phrase). passing not only opens new windows of opportunity but may mean closing doors as well. ending chapters. calling it a day. saying goodbye. but first things first: study. drill. take. pass. tumbling. and may God have mercy on our souls.
i can do this. i will do this. #citius, #altius, #fortius.
p.s. let’s do this, camz, may, toots! *disco-disco. good-good. it’s a beautiful life!* (at the aerie)
#faith. in a Higher Being. in the people you work with. and most especially in yourself. yes, i’m talking to you, goldilocks’ friends. (“,) #ramblings #quote #LaurenKate’s #torment (at the aerie)
[yesterday…] what makes you want the the place you seek, johnny boy? are you ready for the journey? it is not a place of comfort nor a place of pride. it is a position of responsibility, of humility, and of unwavering selfless service. may God bless you in your discernment.

hush. enter night, exit light. the sandman comes. relatively happy with how today turned out. be in the mood tomorrow. please. (“,) sleep-deprived insomniac’s #ramblings #quote #homer (at the aerie)
