Keep this list in a safe place 

the bottom drawer of your dresser for example, or 

Perhaps in a 

Glass case with a small red hammer? 

For Emergency use
only

1.one must always remember to delight in moments dispersed in time
that transfix us like lightning bolts through the stem of an old tree

2.pain is a necessary evil - it rolls, cracks and bends human beings - but in the end it invigorates

3.one must not fear fear - only those who have the courage to do this will truly be alive

4. forget and forgive everything - at the finish line it will not even matter who or what dismayed our equilibrium

qui audet adipiscitur

Remember, break glass only when necessary,
realize that your future self will know what that means:
when it is necessary

I like it!
You break my mind in a subtle way Who Dares Wins May 4, 1992 How to be a human in love and other impossible things
She was most amazed by the obvious, like January and the fact that I could not possibly keep her. I will go. I shall go. I'll see where the end may be. one perfect moment of beauty unremember
all the crooked secrets we keep in the cupboard Nobody's heart bothers with such mundane things as distance May the wine be sweet. May the stories be heard. May the future bring me home. Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it
Nostalgia in a box The meek shall inherit the Earth... the rest of us will take the stars! She wears her failed relationships like a shield small choices in the past shape your future
She ties regrets around her fingers like forget-me-knots The pain of an amputated emotion I fear nothing. I believe nothing. I am free. Empty Desires Left to be Filled
We shall be nothing a hundred years hence The truth and who I am when I look at it the best things in life are free
