its when i come to a point that im answering the questions 'how are you?' with 'fine', and 'what have you been doing?' with 'nothing...just working' -that i know i need to move. living a stagnant life will not be my cup of tea (and i love tea)

'life is not the goal, it is the process. it is the getting there, not the arrival. dont fear change, for growing, learning, and experiencing is change. to deny change is to deny the only single reality. there is no stopping it, no holding it back, there is only going with it. there is a hindu tale about a man in a small boat rowing up a fast flowing river against the current. after a great battle, he finally discovers that the effort is futile, so he gives up, raises his oars and begins to sing. the moment teaches him a new way of life; only when he goes with the changing river is man truly free. there is potential lying dormant with in you to be realized. this should challenge you to be the best, most loving, feeling, intelligent person he is capable of. his search is not in competition with anyone elses. he becomes his own personal challenge. you are the best you- its the easiest, most practical, most rewarding thing to be.

these three thoughts seem to be going through my head a lot these days. is it ironic that someone chose to display them in such a vulnerably artistic way? in january ill be a year away from the inevitable quarter life crisis and im being forced to realize that its not really "cool" to have no idea what i want to do with my life. maybe my lack of inspiration, clarity, and constant reminder of this will cause inspiration as was the artist who made these neon signs.

kalos kai agathos

the singular balance of the good and the beautiful.
how to balance the urge for pleasure against the longing for devotion.

'sometimes i feel like i understand the divinity of this world, but then i lose it because i get distracted by my petty desires and fears...I guess what i want to learn is how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God'

what people say about me behind my back is none of my business

"the more im afraid of something -
the more i know i have to do it
ive figured that out
i can lead a protected life hiding away from the scary world
or i can take on the things that scare me the most
the more it might hurt
the more i might die doing it
the more worth doing it must be"

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright .

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
