The Mage's Heir

The Opposite Of Loneliness - Marina Keegan: 

“What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over. Get a post-bac or try writing for the first time. The notion that it’s too late to do anything is comical. It’s hilarious. We’re graduating college. We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.”

The Future Has An Ancient Heart - Cheryl Strayed:

“Just close your eyes and remember everything you already know. Let whatever mysterious starlight that guided you this far, guide you onward into whatever crazy beauty awaits. Trust that all you learned during your college years was worth learning, no matter what answer you have or do not have about what use it is. Know that all those stories and poems and plays and novels are a part of you now and that they are bigger than you and they will always be.”

On Getting Rejected a Lot (and Liking It) - Blair Braverman:

“Every person with a career you’d kill for has had countless disappointments. In fact, the more successful they are, the more rejections they’ve had—because they’re putting themselves out there, taking risks, and still moving forward. Instead of being disappointed when things don’t work out, be happily surprised when they do. Most things in life don’t work out. But some do. The secret is to love the possibilities.” Are You Happier Than You Were In Your Twenties? - Heather Havrilesky:

Anne: What is wrong with you?

Billy: Why don’t you shove off, leave the men to their work?
