Extraordinary people survive under the most terrible circumstances and they become more extraordinary because of it.
—Robertson Davies. (via justbesplendid)
And this quote may be added to my mirror.

WANT. So tonight I had the option of chilling in Little 5 or going to a nice hotel restaurant and then jazz club. The Little 5-er in me was like, “Oooh… just put on a plaid tunic, leggings, and boots and chill.” But then the Dallasite in me said, “WTF?? You haven’t been somewhere nice since April. Put on some fucking heels, a shift dress, and tights and act like you went to SMU!”
The neglected dresses won.

I fell in love with you first time I looked into
Them there eyes
You’ve got a certain lil’ cute way of flirtin’ with
Them there eyes
They make me feel happy
They make me feel blue
No stallin’
I’m fallin’
Going in a big way for sweet little you
My heart is jumpin’
Sure started somethin with
Them there eyes
You’de better watch them if you’re wise
They sparkle
They bubble
They’re gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
You’re overworkin’ them
There’s danger lurkin’ in
Them there eyes
Maybe you think I’m just flirtin’
Maybe you think I’m all lies
Just because I get romantic when I gaze in
Them there eyes
Ella Fitzgerald: Them There Eyes
I’ve been listening to my Ella Fitzgerld station a lot recently and this one just came on. Yup, I feel you, Ella. Eyes are always what get me.

Happy to lay here. I’m happy to be here. Just happy to know you.
Play me a song, your newest one. Please leave your taste on my tongue.
Paperweight, on my back, cover me like a blanket.
Mess up my bed with me. Kick off the covers, I’m waiting.
Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk: Paperweight
I see him a week from tomorrow. Yessssss

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.
— Goethe (via omgitsjpax) (via quote-book)
Ginatt made a version just like this called “The Teacher” and it’s taped to my bathroom mirror. Instead of person it is “child” and it’s “I am the decisive element in the classroom.”

I love this little girl. She locks the door and stares at herself in the mirror!
Rachael—You are missing out on the Step Show!!! :-( I hope people put up videos!
Don’t remind me! Oh, and fierce child alert.
