I resent denial and self dishonesty because no one should be denied the most valuable aspect of a well lived life which is the confrontation of human suffering and ultimately endings and death. I resent that most humans want so much and have so many wishes and yet they cannot face themselves or what it means to be human.

The discipline you practice in private will introduce you to opportunities in public.

it won’t matter in the morning

agonizing over all the time you wasted or lost is useless. it’s gone now. you survived in the only way you knew how. doesn’t your survival deserve some recognition too?

like toni morrison said, “sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. but the grandeur of life is that attempt. it’s not about that solution. it is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances.”

I hate when friendship feels like we just take turns talking about ourselves
