  1. I was past the grieving stage, past feeling sorry for a broken friendship. Now my mind was just trying to simplify things, pack everything into neat boxes, organize thoughts and feelings so that they didn’t pop up at inconvenient times. It wasn’t something I chose; it happened without thought. And while some people thought it was cold, unfeeling, emotionless–it was just another day in my life.

  2. If I could simplify your life as I did mine, I would do it with just on wipe of the board. I would bring you to nothing. A what could be simple than nothing?

  3. simplify your life. like youre a math equation. 20/4. simplify it. 5. bam, easy. everything should be simple. but its not. why? we dont know. sometimes simplifying things only makes it more complicated.

  4. I wish to simplify the universe. When I’m in pain, or pain’s in me, I lie down and close my eyes and make everything disappear except the atoms and the quarks and the energy. Those things don’t hurt. Those things don’t wish. Those things keep me sane and lovely.

  5. never let me simplify your laugh
    or the way you turn your head
    never let me undermine your words
    with the wings that I wish mine could wear
    but never let me speak to you
    until I have dissected joy
    and transplanted my smile
    onto the open face
    of one much more deserving

  6. All my designs were simplified by the One Cannon. I wish
    she had never even thought of making the One Cannon, as it had no
    purpose in the first place but still produced disastrous results. I
    can no longer invent complex items. I can no longer create
    complicated calculations. Everything is simplified to one. Just
    one.

  7. its a state of mind. you release the debris and are left with the essence. you should find the import part of what you want. clean, central. reduce mess and clutter. essential. a goal for my life and probablly more.

  8. like anything important, this sounds easy but is incredibly difficult to do. it is being the authentic self and recognizing that self is being as opposed to the things we do or have.

    by Lisa on 05.08.2013
  9. I would rather simplify my emotions to a single dot. The entire universe compressed in a mere spec where everything is and everything will be. Simplify existence to one dot, where all is one and one is all. If it were so easy.

  10. Ja fiz dois vezes. Eu não gosta de fazer isso agora. É demais velha. Tchau.

  11. Simplify could be anything.
    Math. PLEASE SIMPLIFY PROBLEMS BELOW.
    Organization. I SIMPLIFY MY LIFE BY REORGANIZING.
    Anything else that I SIMPLY can’t think of.

  12. I wish that I could just simplify my relationship with guys, or rather the lack of having a relationship with them. I wish that it was as simple as you like me and I like you and that’s it. No long flowery speeches or he said she said crap.

  13. I tried to tell him. I tried to say that if only he abides by my plan, it could be fine. It could be simple.
    But did he listen? No. He went along and did his own thing and completely disregarded what I’d said.
    And where has that led him? Here, the hospital. He’s unconscious now, and I should feel bad but it’s so hard to feel bad for your near-enemy when if he’d only listened to you, he wouldn’t be here. So hard.
    And it wasn’t simple for me either, having him disappear in the middle of nowhere. Then I had to search for him, and thank god I did, because I saved his life.
    He wakes up groggily and rubs his eyes, then draws back in presumably sharp pain. I can just conceal a smirk.
    “Where am I?” he inquires.
    “You, SIR, are in the hospital, and it’s thanks to you you’re here and thanks to me you’re alive. I didn’t have to save your life, you know. I did it because – I wanted to show that if you follow the simplest plan, you wouldn’t be here. That’s why you’re still alive.”
    And I turn on my heels and leave the room, leaving a very confused Bernard in the hospital wing, to ponder what I’d said.

  15. “Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast
    Troubles will come and they will pass
    You’ll find a woman and you’ll find love
    And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above”

    “And be a simple kind of man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can”

    “Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
    All that you need is in your soul
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
    All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied”

  16. The choice to simplify your life will pay you in spades. At first it will be a little complicated to do all that sorting, organizing and discarding but ah the reward ……..it will be simply awesome.

  17. We tend to make things so complicated in this world. I wish things were more simple so that we have the time to enjoy the little things. Like a fresh breath right after brushing or sleeping after taking a shower. But no one has the time to notice. Simplify. Such an easy command and yet, so hard to achieve.

  20. Math and you use it to make numbers smaller. Usually in fractions you make a fraction smaller. To make some things easier or smaller for you or an equation. Making something simple.

  21. Filtering through the papers and various household items of the relationship she formerly referred to as her marriage, she threw one item, one paper, after another in the garbage. Toss…throw…take another sip from her bottle of Raspberry Smirnoff…the tears rolling down her face…then, she lost it. Scattering the papers on the floor, she screamed at the ceiling, angry…upset…hurt…the tears poured down her face as she sank into the floor, shaking with sobs—a puddle of a woman in shambles. After what seemed like hours, she picked her limp, shattered body up off the floor. It was time to simplify. It was time to start over.

  22. We had to simplify in math. It didn’t really change the answer. In the end, it just made it easier for the lazy teacher to figure out if we got it right or wrong. Simplification was, in a way, conformity to the teacher. It was always correct in the other form, so I didn’t simplify. The teacher didn’t like it. but i didn’t really care that much.

  23. This used to be my goal;to simplify my life. To keep to my circle, try to expel and avoid rumors about me, and keep my relationship with Damon strong. And for a while, it was a great plan.
    Until the accident.

  24. Dennis didn’t enjoy simplifying any of the word problems that he gave to his students. They were word problems. They should not have to be simplified. It was all about the reading and the math, and if they couldn’t do both, why even bother being in school?

    But the principal ragged him on it, and so did the students. Even the parents interviewed. Finally, he agreed that words like “phantasmagoria” and “lugubrious” probably weren’t appropriately leveled words for a second grade math problem.

  25. there’s some algebra homework that i should’ve done hours ago. instructions? simplify.

  26. I can’t simplify anything. Math problems, relationship
    problems, friendship problems. If anything I over-analyze and
    overcomplicate everything I get into.

    by Anna on 05.08.2013
  27. Simplify these problems. That’s what it said on the homework assignment. Five equations that looked like a foreign language to me. I’m the smartest girl in my grade; why can’t I get these? My pride won’t let me ask for extra help. This is why I loathe math with every fiber of my being. Why can’t it be more creative like writing or science…or even history? Or why can’t I just understand it?

  28. -Where do babies come from? -Well… There is an unlimited
    supply of babies in heaven. Storks can fly high enough to catch a
    few and then deliver them accordingly. -Oh..

  30. He hung the last of the small potted plants and hung it by the front porch. He took in the different smells of the flowers he had just planted in his garden, and thought it all worth the hard work. In months leading to his retirement, Simon couldn’t fathom life not working; waking up every morning without following a routine: the 6:00 traffic, the difficulties of parking, the mostly insipid water cooler conversations, all the paperwork. All the tiny battles he had to plough before his day at work actually begins, and now it all seems like a distant past. How time flies. But now he is all about simplifying his life, and although he took his sweet time getting there, just like his newly planted flowers and renovated garden, it is definitely worth the wait.

  31. i think that i need to simplify things. everything feels so complicated and i let myself feel so trapped you know? but really if i think about what matters to me there are few things. i shouldn’t be so afraid all the time. i shouldn’t be so attached to material things. my future kids won’t want the toys i played with as a kid. they won’t want to see these things. and i can’t hold on to them. people dont want coloring pages and i shouldn’t hold on to things that make me unhappy. if i look at things more simply then maybe i’d be happy.

  33. don’t try to simplify the word simplify. It’s simply impossible. It simply means put into simple terms. Can you put it in simple terms? No, cuz it’s already simplified. Get it? LOL.

  34. To make things easier to understand. Complexity has it’s benefits. so does simplicity. but simple things go much faster.

  35. “Simplify? Like simplify my life?” Carrie tilted her head to the side, making her ponytail swing. “I don’t know, Ash, I mean, really. I don’t know.”

    “Sometimes there are things that don’t need to be complicated,” her boyfriend smiled. He tugged gently on the swing’s plastic coated chains. “Want another push?”

    She grinned. “Another one would be nice.”

  36. simplify everything. But if you make it simple then what’s the use of complicated words and procedures? for the not simple people. what qualifies as non-simplicity? a desire for anything un-simple i guess. if that’s even a real word. i dont think it is.

  37. So often we spend out lives filling our homes and our bodies with things we do not need. We do not end up any happier in the long run, often quite the opposite. I follow the simple creed, simplify or die.

  38. I simplify the moment with my camera, the shutter quietly snaps, the engine rolls out the picture and I place it among the others. A body laying limp in sleep. That’s all you are.
    Your eyelids flutter slightly as I approach your bedside. My hand quickly rests upon yours. The regularity of your pulse reassures me. I slip out back through the window.
    No use for a door.
    I’ve learnt to be forthright, I no longer tremble when delivering my gestures of tenderness.

  39. She took a step back from her own mind and looked at herself. If she wanted to grow up, she’d have to stop over thinking and complicating everything. She’d have to simplify her life. Settle down. get a real job. She looked around at all of the people going about their boring daily routines before finally turning back to him.
    “Screw simplicity. Let’s go on an adventure.”

  40. He simplified his last equation, and the audience roared in applause. Yes, Ginally! So e one had found the cure for cancer! This amazing gentleman explained it all!
