Really gross of me to desire attention, disgusting honestly.

I should get it anyway tho

”there’s no glory in suffering” and “sometimes the effort is the point” are two ideas that co-exist but god damn if I can ever tell when’s the time for which

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

"Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." - Brennan Lee Mulligan

"How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints." --C.S. Lewis

I've been enjoying this new habit of replacing Sunday morning doomscrolling with just clicking through links on Wikipedia. I looked at lots of niche dog breeds last week and now I'm learning about rubiks cube variations. I retain almost none of this information - I'm just scrolling and clicking and occasionally going ooooh - but that's basically all I'd be doing on instagram too except it would make me angrier and more depressed. Highly recommend this. Start from a random article and see where you get.

It's not a virtue to focus totally on your own peace and disregard problems around you. Ironically, it's also not a virtue to stew in your own anxiety.

It's one thing if you say "As long as there are hungry people in my community, I'll stay engaged with the food bank," (which probably will actually comfort you because you'll be surrounded by people working for a solution!) but for a lot of people it's "As long as there is suffering in the world, I will self-flagellate with sad Instagram reels," and you might as well not.
