...I've spent the last fifteen years of my life railing against the game of soccer, an exercise that has been lauded as "the sport of the future" since 1977. Thankfully, that future dystopia has never come. ↗

Falling into the trap of self-pity will get you no where in life. It's sorrowful endless cycle will keep you from reaching your goals. Everyone has a sad story but not everyone allows it to restrain them. Let life's hardships fuel you to success instead of holding you back. Start controlling your life or it will control you!  ↗

I realize that some people will not believe that a child of little more than ten years is capable of having such feelings. My story is not intended for them. I am telling it to those who have a better knowledge of man. The adult who has learned to translate a part of his feelings into thoughts notices the absence of these thoughts in a child, and therefore comes to believe that the child lacks these experiences, too. Yet rarely in my life have I felt and suffered as deeply as at that time. ↗

Je cherche dans la mort la vie, Dans la prison la liberté, La santé dans la maladie, Dans le traître la loyauté. Mais mon infortune est si grande Que le destin impatienté, Si l'impossible je demande, M'a le possible refusé. ↗

و قد تسألين كيف ارتقت به هذه العظمة الكاذبة من درجة الى درجة، و من مكانة الى مكانة، و لكني أرجو أن تكوني أقل سذاجة من هذا يا سيدتي، فليس ينبغي أن تسألي عن الضعفاء و العاجزين كيف يرتفعون فذلك ملائم لطبيعة الاشياء، و انما يجب أن تسألي عن الأكفاء كيف يثبتون في مواضعهم و كيف يتاح لبعضهم أن يرقى إلى شئ من امتياز المنصب و ارتفاع المكانة فذلك هو المخالف للطبيعة، المباين لمنطق الدنياكما يقول أديب من أصدقائنا ↗

How do you walk into someone's life again after twenty-eight years? How do you pick up, when you were too young to know where you left off. ↗

Depression is not madness, it's just depression, the loser version, the low-energy response to bad stuff that happens in your life. When you're depressed, you think you're the only one to have ever tasted this kind of hurt. And that lonely self-regard brings with it its own painful pleasure. ↗
