No me quieres ya y siempre estaré...
"Not wandering in the world of desire is another way of describing cool loneliness. Wandering in the world of desire involves looking for alternatives, seeking something to comfort us—food, drink, people. The word desire encompasses that addiction quality, the way we grab for something because we want to find a way to make things okay. That quality comes from never having grown up. We still want to go home and be able to open the refrigerator and find it full of our favorite goodies; when the going gets tough, we want to yell 'Mom!' But what we're doing as we progress along the path is leaving home and becoming homeless. Not wandering in the world of desire is about relating directly with how things are. Loneliness is not a problem. Loneliness is nothing to be solved. The same is true for any other experience we might have."

First time here! HELLO AND GREETINGS!
That quote on cool loneliness is perfect for my co-worker who most think is an oddball and weirdo! Hell, even I think he's a creep, but he's fine with being a loner and stuff! Go figure!
OH. MY. GOD. You have that clip from MULHOLLAND DRIVE! THAT IS ONE BIZARRE AMAZING FILM! DAVID LYNCH = GENIUS.
