HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUTHIE!
hahah rachel's sending me videos online IT'S HILARIOUS! her friend's really talented. in a warped way. just came back from work, and i'm exhausted. made a terrible mistake with the sanitizing solution, but forget it.
anyways, i've finally finished mercy, and i'm onto my best friend's girl and brick lane : D yay new books make me reeally happy. some really meaningful quotes to think bout!
'After all, if hate can steal our sanity, so can love. Love can rob a person of his power of reason. We've heard it all before: Oh, what can you expect from him, he's in love. Or, love is blind. Or, love conquers all. Think of the strength we attribute to love in our cliches. Is there any doubt that we're vulnerable to it?'
'He understood then that heaven was made of it, that it differed for everyone, and that you could find it in the most unexpected places'.
yeap thats it. wanted to update more, but my killjoy of a father just came in, cursed at me, damned me for eternity. okay, maybe that was exaggeration, but you get the point. i'm always, always settling for a second best. or even third, or fourth.. all i'm left with is 'don't worry manda, God has a plan for you. and it's the perfect plan'. the one that can never go wrong, i suppose. that's great comfort, it really is. 'don't come back grovelling'. FYI, i never did.
maybe he just never believed in encouragement- or rather, me.
i'm a fucking failure, and will forever be. i think, even if i'm like some super successful person in future, i'll continue to let him think that way. don't wanna burst his bubble.
