#you

Life surprises at every turn But it just wants you to learn You can't dictate how it should play For it will still take you by sway And when it does, learn to just be For it can see what you can't see Find your happiness wherever you are Stuck in muck but gaze at the stars ↗

I think this is the way love feels to people like you and me. Threatening and dangerous. We have to be in control, and love takes that away. People like us… We can't tolerate vulnerability. But despite our best efforts, sooner or later love seems to catch up with us. And then…And then we fall apart. ↗

#love

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you. It's your attention to yourself that is so stultifying. But you have to disregard yourself as completely as possible. If you fail the first time then you'll just have to try harder the second time. After all, there's no real reason why you should fail. Just stop thinking about yourself. ↗
