However you choose to portray the world and your situation is how it will manifest.  Don’t underestimate the power of language in ferrying information over the gap between actuality and perception: just like thought corrupts language, language corrupts thought. A lexicon of cynicism nurtures your own hell, vocabulary of peace grows your heaven. Sometimes it’s beyond will to overcome the inertia of pain, but it’s also up to you to develop and exercise the muscles against it. Above all, just don’t poison your own soul; there are too many episodes in life for it to be hamstrung with a malignant set of tools.

*

i don't really know what to say
i feel like i'm feeling a lot right now

but it's nice to have those feelings
safe inside me
rather than escaping through the words
in my mouth.


so i'll leave it at that.

and a calm so calm with a calm that even though intermittent is better than nothing...

i'm finally back in school

"There's this idea that a person's life is like a staircase… A mistake happens, a lesson is learned, and you're constantly growing and growing until you become older and wiser and then you die…
Life doesn't seem to work that way. I think I believed that it would, that I would try these different things - writing, acting, theater, directing - and somehow it would all make it clear where to go. And instead here I am in the middle of my life, completely lost."

"what the fuck's your problem? [...] you have everything and you're doing your goddamn best to throw it all away [...] i'm the fuck up in the family, not you."

"don't say that [...] you didn't do anything wrong."

"it doesn't matter what i do...or what i choose. i am what's wrong. there's nothing i can do about it. if - if i'm not hurting myself, i'm hurting everyone around me. there's nothing i can do about it. i am...i am broken."
