“To try to not be more interesting but be more interested” literally changed my life perspective btw

Whenever an ugly feeling arises in me, maybe resent, greed, insecurity, etc. I just have to laugh and think to myself, this is what being alive is and I don’t deny my capacity for ugliness, in fact I store my faith in it because that same awareness of my own ugliness is the place I go to when I am aware of my own beauty. I have all the time in the world to sort it out, that’s the thing with self trust. I don’t hide from others and I don’t hide from myself, where there is ugliness I observe it and I don’t turn away.

People who deny their own ugliness, turn away from it, find shame in it and then pretend that they aren’t ashamed are the ones with the deepest capacity for cruelty. Time to see yourself clearly and move forward anyways.

the beginning of august is peak summer and the end of august is the most melancholic time of the year

sometimes life is the most complicated thing ever and you feel like you'll never know peace and then sometimes life is as simple as feeling at peace after sitting on a bench for 30 minutes
