“We’ve been told, for some unknown f**king rea “We’ve been told, for some unknown f**king reason, that insecurities are bad things. It’s the opposite. Take a good look at someone who doesn’t seem to have any insecurities. Take a look at someone who never says they’re wrong and never apologizes. Take a look at someone who thinks they’re perfect. I’ll tell you what you’re looking at: a total f**king a**hole. This is a person who never thought they needed to improve.” You’re Not That Great, Elan Gale.

“…and I can’t promise you that everyday won’t be some kind of crazy, because that’s just who I am, and that’s the kind of love I’m looking for.” – Rumi Perhaps it’s folly, but normality, and that along the ‘accepted’ stance is made to seem like the ideal. But that’s a mistake. One size of love and life does not fit all. Nor should it, else we would all pile into the same square meter on the planet. I aim for calmness, and depth, but no where do I aim for the normal.
It was hot. I mean heat advisory hot and humid. I It was hot. I mean heat advisory hot and humid. I drove out. In traffic. It annoyed me. So, hoping to make it more than just a short visit, I asked to do her nature walk. She agreed. An hour later we walked into the shoppe to get our iced coffees: sweaty (us), very dirty (me). But I wasn’t annoyed. And it was well worth the drive out. Sometimes all you need is that walk in nature with a good friend to focus you…and not just because she walks FAST. And you pay attention or get lost in the dust.
Use the critics and the haters. Use them to teach Use the critics and the haters. Use them to teach you, to make you better, to constantly act as a check on yourself. And if you have no haters, if every person on the planet loves you, then you lead a boring life. Because the second you do anything interesting, someone will criticise you for it.
