Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people.”
— Carl Jung
“We all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique your own. Even though others may think them odd or unpopular.”
— Mr. Keating, Dead Poets Society
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious
“Because you are empty you hold space. Inescapable, you are always escaping me.”
— Rodger Kamenetz, from “The Poetry Pure,” Yonder (Lavender Ink, 2018)
