Carpe Diem. How annoying is Carpe Diem?
How are you supposed to plan a life, a career, a family, if you’re always cape-ing the diem?
If we all seized every moment of every day, there wouldn’t be doctors. Who would sit through med school?
We’d all be too busy… living in the now. Whatever that means.
I’ll admit, the romans had a point. You gotta live life, and living means that every morning when you wake up, you have to choose between seizing what life offers in the moment and forging ahead, no matter the weather or closing the curtains and shutting out the day.

Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn’t be one of them.
Dreams for an Insomniac
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
Neil Gaiman
Everything tastes like love.
That’s what makes me nervous.
That and I wish I knew what I will act like
later today.
I watch myself being kind sometimes
and I think, is there nothing you won’t fake?
