“My condition is not unhappiness, but it is also not happiness, not indifference, not weakness, not fatigue, not another interest – so what is it then?”

“I lost interest in everything, you know? All the things I used to love doing, I haven’t done them in months. Major pieces of me are missing and no one even sees that I’m fading away.”

“You could only say ‘I’m sorry, I can’t’ so many times before you began to feel worthless, edging closer to a breaking point. So you protected yourself, in a reflexive way, by finding ways to say ‘No, I won’t.’ I cannot help you. So, I will find you unworthy of help.”

— Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

‏تحبك كأنها لن تغادر أبدًا ، وتغادر كأنها لم تحبك أبدًا

“I’m trying to start another company.  The first one failed.  I tried to get a regular job for awhile but I just couldn’t do it.  There are a lot of downsides to being an entrepreneur.  No boss to ask for help.  No regular paycheck.  My girlfriend and I have put a lot of our plans on hold.  But at least I’m in control.  I’m free.  I own the value of my work.  At my old job it was the same thing over and over.  Same office.  Same people.  Even if you get a promotion, it’s just a different set of responsibilities.  A different brand next to your name on LinkedIn.  Nothing meaningful has changed.  The only thing that’s changed is how people see you.  And what is that worth?  When I was in college I met all these people with dreams of starting NGO’s and changing the world.  But then they had kids, and got a new condo, and a new car, and they got stuck.  Everyone keeps saying: ‘one day, one day.’  But you ride the metro in the morning and you see all these people who’ve been working the same job for twenty years.  They look empty almost.  We all know that nothing takes eight hours to do everyday.  But that’s the culture.  We’re stuck in that structure.  We’re stuck in meetings.  Or killing time on our phones.  Just waiting for the weekend.  And what’s the point of it all?  To buy new things.  To seem important.  I just can’t do it.  I have to find a way out.” (Montreal, Canada)

انت اذكى من أن تفعل ما تفعل عن دون عمد

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.

Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad (via quotespile)

It was the eyes. The secret of love was in the eyes. The way one person looked at another, the way eyes communicated and spoke when the lips never moved.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
