Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;N (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://beatboxgoesthump.tumblr.com/"&gt;beatboxgoesthump&lt;/a&gt;)

How if I teased you in bed, you&amp;#8217;d just pull me closer. That made me smile, or I thought to, it was dark okay, I dunno, geezy! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anywho, I hope you&amp;#8217;re happy. I can&amp;#8217;t say I&amp;#8217;m perfect but I can say that I&amp;#8217;m okay with missing you, like this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes I wish we&amp;#8217;d played the charade of being just friends. I think I&amp;#8217;d give up sex and I love yous to be in your presence. I do miss you dearly.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/49570471726</link><guid>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/49570471726</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 May 2013 00:56:04 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6859ddd97d125d8c5fbc543b5196c0e5/tumblr_mlcqi7DmFL1rrwcn5o1_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/49554842201</link><guid>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/49554842201</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 May 2013 21:20:45 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3lmidZfXA1rssoc5o1_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/49135379544</link><guid>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/49135379544</guid><pubDate>Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:48:17 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>I don&amp;#8217;t miss you as much now.

My heart moves around a bit between you, and a woman I found after you, but right now, I don&amp;#8217;t miss you as much. We both know that as soon as I hear your voice everything changes, but I&amp;#8217;m okay, for now. I miss this other woman but, I have a handle on that, and can actually focus on things i need to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t miss you as much, but I still think of you every day, like I&amp;#8217;m making pizza from scratch and you told me you made pizzas for a while yourself. I know too much about you to forget. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I still love you, it just doesn&amp;#8217;t hurt so much, anymore.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/48740715029</link><guid>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/48740715029</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:43:20 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m698pn6PKx1r86a6so1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/48519138236</link><guid>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/48519138236</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Apr 2013 08:38:01 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0e9098069019646bd3542933e8aa4122/tumblr_mjwc6lQMli1rsczhso1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/48325634278</link><guid>http://astrangestateofaffairs.tumblr.com/post/48325634278</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:06:13 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>whatsundead:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A diver has a very personal moment of dejection at the bottom of the pool during the 2012 CCCA Swimming and Diving State Championships at East Los Angeles College Swim Stadium on Thursday, April 26, 2012 in Monterey Park, CA. (Photo by Suzanne Tylander © 2012) This particular photo represents an emotional moment rarely caught underwater. This particular diver was expected to win the entire event. The diver knew as soon as he hit the water his form was flawed and that he might have just lost it all. I was fortunate enough to witness this moment as it was unfolding underwater. I captured the sequence of emotion just a split second after he hit the water and began to sink to the bottom with a sense of defeat written in his body language This was the image I chose from the series. I have felt this emotion and disappointment before as many athletes do. My chance to capture it underwater was rare but beautiful. It is a moment no competitive athlete wants to relive but something important that many of us can relate to. It is raw and human and real.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Madness indeed. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I got a text, from a number I didn&amp;#8217;t recognize, and my heart was about to burst through my chest at the thought of it being you.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I realized it wasn&amp;#8217;t you. And was calmed down, but it just made me understand how deep it goes. How fundamental it is for me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll never be free of you.
