I worry that my friends will misunderstand my silence
as a lack of love, or interest, instead of a tent city built for my own mind

“It is a most wonderful comfort to sit alone beneath a lamp, book spread before you, and commune with someone from the past whom you have never met.”
— Yoshida Kenkō, A Cup of Sake Beneath the Cherry Trees
“Everything that is tearing us down today will become a memory, and this memory will be shared as an anecdote or a story or a poem or a play or a warning. It will be shared with another human being, who will then understand that he is not alone in his sadness. This is why we show up for others and tell our tales and listen to others. The great congregation meets daily, and you are someone’s angel today.”
— Tennessee Williams, in an interview with James Grissom
“Not knowing for certain, but refusing to give way to those who claim certainty, was a privilege I had never allowed myself. My life was narrated for me by others. Their voices were forceful, emphatic, absolute. It had never occurred to me that my voice might be as strong as theirs.”
— Tara Westover, Educated
“There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you. And there are others who will understand. without you even speaking a word.”

It does not matter how much knowledge you consume, if you are not going to start applying it to your life and focusing on growth and mastery, it all just becomes a waste of time and energy. The consumption of information without application is a distraction.
"A mistake repeated more than once is a decision."
— Paulo Coelho
“Someone who is worthy of your love will never put you in a situation where you feel you must sacrifice your dignity, your integrity, or your self worth to be with them.”
