- In the heat of emotion we say things, and some people would like nothing more than to take the words that we say and twist them to make a good story. That's what sells newspapers, after all.

- The thing that sucks about truth is just like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. We can only see the truth based on the facts given to us. But the important thing is what we do with that truth we had created. Keep our minds open for other truths and give people the benefit of the doubt? Or stay with the truth we have constructed and make judgements?

- That's probably why I usually keep my mouth shut during controversies, or I try to give people both sides of the argument. I'm always trying to see the other side, though sometimes I'm not successful and can get as hotheaded as anyone else. But that's pretty rare.

- Maybe it's wrong of my to fight for a utopic world where everyone is happy. But that's me. I'm a healer. I love to fix things, to help people. And I love my friends, I would do anything for them. I'll be there for support, whether I think they're right or wrong, whether we have the same opinion or not. Whether their truth is mine or something I cannot comprehend.

I know none of this makes any sense. I'm a bit delirious after recent events, packing for Maui and a seriously lackluster Academy Awards.
