Principle of Equal Trade

People cannot gain anything without sacrificing something. You must present something of equal value to gain something. That is the principle of equivalent trade in alchemy. We believed that was the truth of the world when we were young. - Full Metal Alchemist

Time

I can't find "time" from where you are. I think i'll move on and find "time" elsewhere.

Pivotal Change

Your life begins to change when you want to change and when you make the effort to change. It all bores down to how badly you can live with or without that change.

Self Inflicted Agony

Eventhough I know what lies ahead. Eventhough I know that it would cause me unspeakable pain and despair. Why do I still pursue it despite having this foresight?

Tidy Up

It's hard to start something. It's harder to pick up from where other's have left behind.

No Free Lunch

You have to work for the things you want in life. Things don't just fall into your lap out of nowhere.

Unexpected

We are afraid of the unexpected. Who isn't? As the word suggests - unexpected. Would it be less terrifying if we expected it?

Life

Life isn't really that bad after all. It does come with pockets of surprises now and then.

Stupid

I've had it. This is the last call. No more requests, please. I can do it still, but I don't want no part of it anymore. I don't want to give anymore. It doesn't serve a purpose anymore. I am tired and I am stupid. Leave me alone.

Scream!!

"Hey, you! Yes, you! I am talking to you. Know this. You are not the only person who is tired and stressed out. Do you think you can just treat others the way you are now? Stop being so bloody childish and grow up."

Reflection

What we do everyday, what we comment on, what we like or dislike, is a reflection of our beliefs and values. If you complain a lot on a certain thing, say for example, you don't like people who smoke, this could be partly because you won't allow yourself to do so and you hope to enforce this belief of yours on others as well. Think about what you say, it might reveal what is really going on inside.

Out of sight out of mind

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I'd rather not to know of her presence anymore than to be upset by these occasional visitation she is so fond of doing.

The Game

Be prepared for the unknown, be prepared more for failure. If you are not ready for this, it would be wise to abstain from participating in this game altogether.
