Relevant thoughts... or not.. your choice!

We are often faced with challenges and times in our life where heavy reflection seems forced upon us.. Some of us turn to negative means of distraction, while others take time to seek out the truth or lesson in an unfortunate situation.. As fun as it is to go get shit-faced and try to forget whatever the current mishap is, I don't...I turn to music..art..writing..poetry..quotations.. Irving Layton is one of the amazing authors I've started to recently follow.. And he's Canadian, which makes him even more awesome..If you've never read his stuff, I highly recommend you go out and do so..

Over the years I have collected some of the quotes I've come across.. Ones that stuck with me and I felt were quite powerful... call me cheesy or whatever you want.. truth is I've never been one to really give a shit what people think about me! I'm eccentric and odd...and truthfully I like it that way. It used to bother me being constantly described as "a unique individual"... But now I embrace it and see it as a positive.. I mean shit, at least I'm not boring!

Anyhow.. take away from these whatever you like.. The choice is always yours..
