kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

people should be allowed to have low ambition, and also be able to feed a family on the salary of a cashier at a convenience store.

Unfortunately our society is run by people with high ambition, and they've decided that ambition is the only human quality that really matters. Compassion, creativity, knowledge, patience... None of those matter to The Powers That Be, only the pursuit of wealth and power. Sure, those things can be helpful in the service of ambition, but they're useless on their own.
