Inspiration

And now for the first quote, via e-mail from K:

"I think you are one of the only people I know who knows exactly what you want and what you believe in. Even I don't know what I want 95% of the time, but I admire that you do and you should stick to the ideals that are important to you. Boys are never worth compromising your morals for. (nor are other people for that matter.) That said, while I don't think it will be impossible for you to find someone who shares those same thoughts and beliefs exactly, I think that he may be difficult to weed out from the others. This does not, in any way, mean that you should give up hope. It means you'll have to dig around a bit more, but the search is usually worth it in the end (or so I'm told!). As a society somewhere along the line we got the idea that it would empower us to do these things, that it would somehow make us more independent and free. Not to say either way of thinking is better or worse than the other, but just realize that there are two sides to everything. Consider the possibility that there is a guy out there who, while he might not carry all the cards you are carrying, WOULD be willing to set aside everything to wait for you, to be with you. Unfortunately, we are not perfect. Human beings are ultimately flawed, but we all have reasons for doing what we do. You will find someone whose reasons are justified, whose reasons you can live with, and who will put you and your beliefs at the center of his world. My eyes are always and forever on the lookout for you. xoxo"

How's that for inspiration?
