“Our real discoveries come from chaos, from going to the place that looks wrong and stupid and foolish.”
"Living in continual chaos is exhausting, frightening. The catch is that it's also very addictive."

Chaos in motion
“We adore chaos because we love to produce order."
Sarah, the best friend aforementioned, recently sent me this quote at 3am one morning while studying. She tagged the quote as:
"Story of our lives."
This is most definitely true of her and me. Producing order is, by far, one of the most looked forward tasks of our being. Sad, we know, but we are constantly trying to make sense of things; to organize events, thoughts, and ideas; and most certainly to analyze anything and everything to try to come to a perfectly ordered conclusion.
That's why chaos is so enticing. It's exciting! It's something out of control that we can try to tame. Who doesn't love a good challenge anyway?

Love
" There are eight essential things you need in life: Strength, Courage, Wisdom, Peace, Calm, Joy and Love. Strength to get up every morning, Courage to face the challenges thrown our way, Wisdom to realize that it's not always in our control, Peace within and with those around us, Calm to have a clear mind, Joy to see the good in life and most importantly of all Love - love for those we know closely, those we know at a distance, and those we're yet to meet."

Introduction
My best friend and I have had some interesting experiences in our lives. We like to sometimes think of ourselves as idealists. Therefore, we like to make some sense out of these experiences. We analyze everything, down to the very last detail. The two of us try to be insightful and somewhat philosophical about our reasonings. We often use quotes or proverbs to describe events or happenings. Some people appreciate it. Others think we are merely ridiculous. We say:
"[We] would rather be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
~Marilyn Monroe
