Just now. This is it.

Sit with it. Whatever it is. It will pass.

literature has saved my life several times......like so many times I have felt emotions that I cannot shake, that feel so heavy and unearthly and then I stumble across a poem, or a quote from a human decades or even centuries ago and suddenly i feel connected to them...i am reminded that hope exists! the perfect arrangement of words can heal a wound in the heart that has existed for years! the power of literature!

so much of being an ok person is just 1) not panicking, 2) not taking things personally, and 3) not letting the vindictive gargoyle that lives in your head tell you what to do. this sucks because brains love doing those things
