there’s too much tension in the world… what hope is there in the middle east if you and i can’t make peace.

Then again maybe there's something that I've been doing in the privacy of my own bedroom my whole life that I think is perfectly normal but is actually illegal in thirty-two states.

Most of my friends from Columbia are going on to get advanced degrees. And why not? A Ph.D. is the new M.A., a master's is the new bachelor's, a B.A. is the new high school diploma, and a high school diploma is the new smiley-face sticker on your first-grade spelling test.

The real world, whether we like it or not, is right here, right now. All of this, every day, is important. Everybody matters. Everything we do has an effect on other, directly or indirectly, whether we realize it or not.

The minute our correspondence becomes obligatory, there's no point in keeping touch at all.

And so I’ll let you go, and let it be. Whatever

I can let my true self shine in front of God.
