When you fail, fail, and then find your 'No' in life, your Next Opportunity. When you find your next opportunity, say:

Yes... always yes.

I'm not brainwashed." I wish everyone would stop using that word to describe me.
"That's exactly what someone who's been brainwashed would say.

Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.

If something you did causes failure, shouldn't the exact opposite of what you did bring success?

When my phone chimes with a text message on Monday morning, I'm still in that dreamy state between sleep and awake where you can pretty much convince yourself of anything. Like that a teen Mick Jagger is waiting in your driveway to take you to school. Or that your favorite book series ended with an actual satisfying conclusion, instead of what the author tried to pass off as a satisfying conclusion.

There's always that one guy who gets a hold on you.
