Eventually, alas, I realized the main purpose of buying cocaine is to run out of it.
You are a gift to all who know you, whether or not they realize it. If they don't, they are blind. You have a special place in this world. All you have to do is find it. Do not give up on yourself, or the truths you have realized. Do not give in to those who could crush your dreams like nutshells. And never turn away from forever love.
I realized that health is the most important thing and that all the other things come with time if you are devoted enough.
I think that any important educational goal can be realized via several routes.
Drink to me! I just realized that I've slept with everyone at this table! ~Nell

I love this world.
I ground matter to find the continuous line. And when I realized I could not find it, I stopped, as if an unseen someone had slapped my hands.
She saw him the first day on board, and then her heart sank into her shoes as she realized at last how much she wanted him. No matter what his past was, no matter what he had done. Which was not to say that she would ever let him know, but only that he moved her chemically more than anyone she had ever met, that all other men seemed pale beside him.
I've learned that each day is definitely a gift. When my dad died, I made sure I said everything to him. I realized that once he's gone, he's gone. No matter how angry or resentful or whatever.
I woke up one day and realized I could never be an American.

There are scarcities in drinking water when you pollute the groundwater with nitrates. There is a scarcity in diversity when you create huge cornfields with the same strain of corn so that when one disease strikes - which happened in the United States in the 70s - all the cornfields in the country are wiped out. That was the first time the U. S. realized the value of diversity in agriculture and began to discuss genetic resources and their conservation.
I realized that your mother couldn't see the emptiness, she couldn't see anything. . . All of the words I'd written to her over all of those years, had I never said anything to hear at all?
