“I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing...”
– J.D. Salinger (via aiyannabanana)

If one end of it is the best thing you ever did and the other end is the worst how much of your life will end up dead center and what will it take to change?

I guess his poems are supposed to be sort of jokey (at least some of them are), but I really like this one. Sort of a goal for the new year, I guess, is to be less average and more interesting.
