Tolerating a situation where you are uncomfortable doesn’t make you a good person. People mistake that for a virtue like patience but it’s actually a vice. It is much more righteous to always be honest with yourself and confront your reality, rather than deluded for the sake of other people. Living your life in another person’s vision or denying your own comfortability is demonic actually, like a possession. It is often mistaken for humility but it is not. Forging your own way gracefully should be the goal. Compulsory and indiscriminate tolerance or obedience is immoral.. Privacy, solitude, and quiet disobedience are so important as virtues to life your life by. 

how lovely, the way lovers lean on each other. i've been thinking about the physics of it, the gravity of hearts. the first human instinct: to find something to lean on. we all have it, the radar for warm solid things. i am good at being lonely, but loneliness makes you heavy. what do you do when you cannot lean? you fold. i fold on myself. there is warmth here, too. a center here, too. i wish it was enough.
