Hi
My name is Daks

I am who I am

What sets me off from everyone else
is that I've experienced pain
And I know what it's like to be hurt
I know how heartbreak feels
And I know how hard it is to get through it
But you've gotta try!
Keep the hope
"They say in the darkest night,
there's a light beyond"
So keep an eye on that light

Yes, what I just said makes me a hypocrite
But I actually do care more about other people
Than I do of myself
I believe everyone should be happy
And loved
All but me
I don't think love is meant for me

I'm depressed ninety percent of the time
I pretend to be happy a lot
That's why I'm very effervescent
But sometimes my depression seeps through...
But I'll make it through
Or at least I'll try
I'll keep some hope
Even if it is unreasonable
So I'm mostly optimistic
with dark rays of pessimism
Like... an eclipse, ya know?
In case you wanted a visual of my life
that's one: an eclipse

My favorite quotes are...

"If love was a choice,
who would ever choose such
exquisite pain?"
- Anna & the King

"None of us find as much kindness
in this life as we should."
- Memoirs of a Geisha

"A dream is a wish your heart makes when
you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose
your heartaches. Whatever you wish for,
you keep. Have faith in your dreams,
and someday,your rainbow will come
shinning through. No matter how your heart
is grieving, if you keep on believing, the
dreams that you wish for will come true."
- Cinderella

"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you
thousands of dollars for a kiss, and fifty
cents for you soul."

"I guess like most things that are in front
of your eyes, you don't see just how
wonderful they are until they're gone."
- The L Word

"The Greek word eros denotes want, lack.
The desire for that which is missing.
The lover wants what it does not have.
It is by definition impossible for him
to have what he wants, if, as soon as
it is had, it is no longer wanted."
- The L Word

"We accept the love we think we deserve."
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower

"There is trouble till the robins come."

beauty, and beauty stayed his hand. And from
that day forward, he was as one dead."

"And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say goodbye."
- Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians


"It wasn't the airplanes.
It was beauty killed the beast."
- King Kong

"You know you're in love when you
can't fall asleep because reality is
finally better than your dreams."

neither can a queer."

Who will you stand with?"

"There is so much good in the worst of us,
and so much bad in the best of us, that
it behooves all of us not to talk about the
rest of us."

the right way, the correct way, and the
only way, it does not exist."

difficult as not getting what you want."

"Everytime you love someone, you put not
just your faith in them, but your faith
in everything to the test."

"Condoms are cheaper than gun, so
make love, not war."

"Tears are words from the heart that can't be spoken."

"We dance for laughter, we dance for tears,
we dance for madness, we dance for fears,
we dance for hopes, we dance for screams,
we are the dancers, we create the dreams."
