“Become the person you would ideally fall in love with. Let cars merge into your lane when driving. Stick your tongue out at babies. Compliment strangers. Challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for an entire day, then two, then a week. Walk with straight posture. Look people in the eye. Ask people about their story. Talk to acquaintances so you become friends. Take time to marvel at the world’s little treasures.”

Shut Eye

Song by Stealing Sheep

You should've got a better bed Better for your head Better heads need shut eye

You should've got a better bed Better for your head Better heads need shut eye You should've got out of the red In the red, you're better off dead Deader than the red dead sea Promise it to me Promise me the sea

You should've got a better bed Better for your head Better heads need shut eye You should've got out of the red In the red, you're better off dead Deader than the red dead sea Promise it to me Promise me the sea

People, all the people, with big bellies, banging bigger drums They beat down on you, they beat the pulse into your shoes Shoes that are made for walking you to lands and other seas See those seas of, see those seas that you've seen on the big screen

You should've got a better bed Better for your head Better heads need shut eye You should've got out of the red In the red you're better off dead Deader than the red dead sea Promise it to me Promise me the sea

Sad hello's and mad high lows Now, I know not nobody knows Sad hello's and mad high lows Now, I know not nobody knows Where do we go? Oh, where do we go?

People, all the people, with big bellies, banging bigger drums They beat down on you, they beat the pulse into your shoes Shoes that are made for walking you to lands and other seas See those seas of, see those seas that you've seen on the big screen

People, all the people, with big bellies, banging bigger drums They beat down on you, they beat the pulse into your shoes Shoes that are made for walking you to lands and other seas See those seas of, see those seas that you've seen on the big screen

La, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

La, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-a-la, la-la-la

“I am grateful for these sentiments towards me, as someone you have neither met nor seen… I ask that you bring me these rare 'treasures' of which you speak, then I will be able to feel clearly in my heart how you treasure me. Prince Kuramochi, bring me the jeweled branch of Horai. Prince Ishitsukuri, Lord Buddha’s stone bowl. Lord Minister of the Right Abe, bring a robe of fire-rat fur. Grand Counselor Otomo, the jewel from the dragon’s neck. And Middle Counselor Isonokami, the swallow’s cowry shell.”

The citizens wrapped like mummies in their coats of poisoned sleep; The dreamers, crazed, in their thousands, nailed to a tree of wine.

[nat-20s]

"someone who allows you to rest" is the relationship dynamic of all time

[nat-20s]

A parent that welcomes you back home after things have fallen apart. A best friend whose voice alone who can make you relax. A spouse who convinces you to stay in bed an extra hour and leave the dishes for later. A stranger who sees you tired and gives up their seat on the train. Augh. The humanity of it

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.
