| Quit complaining about stores playing Christmas music in November, and start writing some Thanksgiving songs. We wouldn't be in this situation if Thanksgiving had bangers. Unknown |
| You aren't lost. You're just in an uncomfortable stage of your life where your old self is gone but your new self isn't fully born yet. You're in the midst of transformation. Unknown |
| I can do nothing for you but work on myself. You can do nothing for me but work on yourself. Unknown |
| Discussions are always better than arguments because an argument is to find out who is right, and a discussion is to find out what is right. Unknown |

| Don't ask me how I survived. Ask me what song I played on repeat when I thought my whole world was over. Unknown |
Ooh, I just retweeted that on X! Mine would be something from    Smoke + Mirrors album: either Hopeless Opus or Polaroid. Even Gold went on a heavy loop for a while. |
| The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater. J.R.R. Tolkien |
I know the world struggles, and I know that it can be harsh and horrid and cruel. But I also know that it can be compassionate and bright and kind. This is why, for every path I walk and every person I meet, I will show them light. I know that I am not perfect; I know that there are always things I can do better and ways I can be better. But I will continue to try. I will not let my heart turn cold, I will not apologize for feeling deeply or being soft, I will always express gratitude and mindfulness, and I will never give up on kindness. Courtney Peppernell |
To stand apart is to take the view of the outsider without leaving, always oriented toward what it is you would have left. It means not fleeing your enemy, but knowing your enemy, which turns out not to be the world—contemptus mundi—but the channels through which you encounter it day to day. It also means giving yourself the critical break that media cycles and narratives will not, allowing yourself to believe in another world while living in this one. ...To stand apart is to look at the world (now) from the point of view of the world as it could be (the future), with all of the hope and sorrowful contemplation that this entails. Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy p. 61-62 |
