Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring
Better enjoy this now, before someone comes and pollutes it, wastes it, limits access to it, sells it for 2$ a bottle and calls it ‘progress’
Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness
Close your eyes and imagine the best version of you possible. That’s who you really are, let go of any part of you that doesn’t believe it
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul
I could never understand ethnic or national pride. Because to me, pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn’t a skill, it’s a fucking genetic accident. You wouldn’t say “I’m proud to be 5’11”. I’m proud to have a predisposition for colon cancer.” So why the fuck would you be proud to be Irish, or proud to be Italian, or American or anything?
