Why do we choose partners so different from ourselves? It's not fate or chance or clichés like 'the heart wants what the heart wants.' We choose our partners because they represent the unfinished business from our childhood. And we choose them because they manifest the qualities we wish we had. In doing so, in choosing such a challenging partner, and working to give them what they need, we chart a course for our own growth.

Man is perishable. That may be; but let us perish resisting, and if it be nothingness that awaits us, do not let us so act that it shall be justice.

Who wants to be consistent? The dullard and the doctrinaire, the tedious people who carry out their principles to the bitter end of action, to the reductio ad absurdum of practice. Not I. Like Emerson, I write over the door of my library the word ‘Whim’.

Alan Shore: The thing about the photo is… as a young woman you were divine, and in maturity, sublime. Shirley Schmidt: Well, I… guess I’m happy to have made you happy. Alan Shore: Shirley, the truth is I only took the case to be in court with you. I enjoy your company. So! If I can’t join you on cases, I’ll just have to oppose you. Or I could just depose you right now against the wall. That would certainly make me happy. Shirley Schmidt: [a beat as they look at each other] I was almost there.

Bipolar Winter- Exit Stage

There's something very bipolar about winter. There's this inexplicable joy that this season brings to my mind. Whose exact reason I fail to grasp and whose thoughts I cannot evade each time, no matter how much I try. It's probably something about another year passing by and how I'm reflecting upon my memories of better times in the past years- some happy corners of my childhood. Somewhere in those school picnics, sports days and family outings that I then loathed for the lack of acceptance in a friend-circle, I made good memories- freely going about on my own and making a friend or two here and there. As I think of some probable future where I might have the chance to relive even a part of that past, it fills me with great joy only to realize moments later that the times are not the same anymore. People have changed. Relationships have changed. I have too. Many people who I then used to call "partners in crime" are nothing more than strangers now. Well, at most a good memory and somewhat faded figures that I used to know. Yes, I did find friendships where I expected them least, but it does feel very strange to realize how people who once completed my day are walking in different directions- living their lives and the only strands of connection that now remain are through Facebook likes, a monthly WhatsApp text or an occasional phone call. Almost every other winter night, I go to sleep with these happy memories and wake up the next morning to realize times have changed. Winter, as I was saying, has something very bipolar about it.
