"The universe always trends toward #chaos. So much of our lives are spent in an attempt to keep entropy at bay. Why chase such futility? Why fight the inevitable? Embracing disorder is the sign of a well-adjusted mind." "For the last time, Aiden, you still have to clean your room!" #vss365

The important thing was finally realizing it was over. You knew already, but you stayed anyway. Because you still loved me enough to let me take the scenic route to where we were heading, whispering in my ear, “Turn here,” so when I #arrived, I’d know deep down it’s what I wanted too. #vss365

When I feel less than human I remind myself the degree to which I’m capable of acting irrationally. I #brake check a cop, overdraw my bank account by a minuscule amount, make life decisions drunk, drive away friends, and keep looking for the secret to being alive and happy simultaneously. #vss365

I've been making fruit hand pies at my bakery for the last several months, and they're becoming locally famous. Every month is a different flavor. I'm switching from July's peach pie to August's plum this week.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it sucks that these people are friends. If they truly believe in the things they claim to stand for, their consciences would not allow them to be friends with their political opponents.

What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.

One of the fun side effects of everything being gambling now is when a sports team or player plays a lot worse than they usually do, you can’t help but be a tiny bit suspicious that it’s intentional.

Spent today at the bakery making peanut butter s’mores cookies and strawberry rhubarb hand pies, and they both turned out *perfect*. I’m not a bestselling author, but I could become a bestselling baker.
