dear chris,

That fragrance she wears is completely irresistible, equal parts carefree laughter, equal parts the bravest survival.

People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, Just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.

It’s hard to be disappointed when what you expected turns out to be true.

Stop constantly cutting the fabric of your soul into pieces to clothe other people.

“I must ask the wounded man where he is hurt, because I cannot become the wounded man. The only wounded man I can be is me.”

I was prepared, but it still hurt.
