i pretty much made this just so i could post pretentious quotes.

I had a hole / I didnt even know existed / until you filled it / but now you're gone / and all i can feel / is the emptiness you left behind //

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet / Try to make sense of what you see / And wonder about what makes the universe exist / Be curious / And however difficult life may seem / There is always something you can do and succeed at / It matters that you don't just give up //

Stephen Hawkings

[aurovaa]

What is the most resilient parasite? / Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? / An idea / Resilient... highly contagious / Once an idea has taken hold of the brain / it's almost impossible to eradicate / An idea that is fully formed / fully understood - that sticks / right in there somewhere. //

Inception

[aurovaa]

Almost all of us self-destruct / in some way, in some part of our lives / we drink or we smoke / we destabilize the good job / or the happy marriage / these arent decisions, theyre impulses - / isnt self-destruction coded into us? / programmed into every cell? //

The psychologist, Annihilation.

[aurovaa]

Then out spoke brave Horatius / the captain of the gate / 'For every man upon this earth / death cometh soon or late / and how can a man die better / than facing fearful odds / for the ashes of his fathers / and the temples of his gods?' //
