Desire sets our compass, but real life steers our course.
Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
Don't let our outside labels or how fervent we look or zealous we are or how righteous we seem; that's not how you measure yourself against other people. Everyone is a child of God; if we really believed that, we'd treat each other better.
But common sense has no place in first love and never has.
Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else.
