» 016; the seeds have been buried deeply

Sometimes I don't think someone even cares about me as much as they say they do. Or I matter as much as they tell me.

» 017; being the way that you are

"Our ambitions and our dreams give us a glimpse of a beautiful someday. And they can help us get through a sometimes less than beautiful today. It's a tricky thing though, ambition. It can blind us to the price of success. It could consume us, leading to dangerous obsessions, or empty hedonism. But no matter how much we're fueled by this natural neurological impulse, ambition isn't carved in stone. Dreams change. And even if we don't get to climb mountains, there's a chance we can still move them. In the words of those old English poets, 'You can't always get what you want. But if you try some time, you might find that you get what you need.'"
