soon-enough expectations heaven
No, it's not fair, but what makes Earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven. Earth is earth. Dead is dead. You'll find out for yourself soon enough. It won't help the situation for you to get all upset.
soul age phases
The body ages, grows, passes through near-lunatic phases of reproductive frenzy, but you are born and die essentially the same person.That... that is proof of your deathless soul.
opposites needs rebel
I need to rebel against myself. It's the opposite of following your bliss. I need to do what I most fear.
sex married boring
Get married before the sex gets boring or you'll never get married.
house puppy wonder
You ever wonder if Adam and Eve were just the puppies God dumped because they wouldn't house-train?
hair use want
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, I'll be anybody you want me to be. Use me. Change me. I can be thin with big breasts and big hair. Take me apart. Make me into anything, but just love me.
fun interesting pressure
I can become someone else, not out of pressure and desperation, but merely because a new life sounds fun or interesting or joyful.
past ice-cream ideas
Really, just looking around, you feel a twinge of pity for the poor souls who succeeded in getting past the Pearly Gates. One can't help but picture the lackluster VIP lounge in Heaven, a kind of nonalcoholic ice-cream social starring Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mahatma Gandhi. Hardly anyone's idea of a "with-it" social register.

writing thoughtful dust
Alternating the thoughtful task of writing with the mindless work of laundry or dish washing will give you the breaks you need for new ideas and insights to occur. If you don't know what comes next in the story... clean your toilet. Change the bed sheets. For Christ sakes, dust the computer. A better idea will come.
fate night escaping
There's no escaping fate, it just keeps going. Day and night, the future just keeps coming at you.
beautiful brandy feels
You can't be beautiful," Brandy says about a thousand times, "until you feel beautiful.
snowflake fight-club-book yeah
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.
hate evil giving
Be famous. Be a big social experiment in getting what you don't want. Find value in what we've been taught is worthless. Find good in what the world says is evil. I'm giving you my life because I want the whole world to know you. I wish the whole world would embrace what it hates. Find what you're afraid of most and go live there.
