We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does anyone's life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.

Movie- Shall We Dance

Your perfect messy bun, your moments of tenderness, how you look up at the sky and know, just know, and that conspiratorial smile up at God, the high notes you hit and the groovy move you pull in the kitchen, the little things you forgive the world for...so much goes unwitnessed.

We want the worst of us known too. To see if we could be loved nonetheless. Misguided attempts to replicate the love of God.

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

-W.B. Yeats

You have to keep weeding out and trimming and pruning. "Nature reclaims what's hers," they say. And your nature will always come to claim you. So, always keep your gardening tools about you. For all its abundance of life, we can't thrive in the wild.

The stories we are told as children do, undoubtedly, mark us for life.
They are often stories of dark and terrible things, and we are usually told them just before the lights are turned out and we are left alone; but we love them. We love them when we first hear them, and even when we are grown, and think we have forgotten them entirely, they never lose their power over us.

-Skin Lane, Neil Bartlett

My quality of life has decreased considerably after math adopted all those prefixes. I need pure, unadulterated math with unclear real life applications.

Book Review:
Highly recommend. A classic. One of those books they force on you in highschool and you get nostalgic for in adulthood. The writing is a little dry and you'll lose the plot if you aren't familiar with the previous books in the series but it's alright.
