“It’s summer now, and you’re craving a simpler existence. You want to read. You want to write. You want to meet strangers for dinner, and not refuse another drink at another bar. You want to dance. You want to find yourself in a basement, neck loose, bobbing your head as a group of musicians play, not because they should, but because they must. It’s summer now, and you’re looking forward to worrying less. You’re looking forward to longer nights and shorter days. You’re looking forward to gathering in back gardens and watching meat sputter on an open barbecue. You’re looking forward to laughing so hard your chest hurts and you feel light-headed. You’re looking forward to the safety in pleasure. You’re looking forward to forgetting, albeit briefly, the existential dread which plagues you, which tightens your chest, which pains your left side. You’re looking forward to forgetting that, leaving the house, you might not return intact. You’re looking forward to freedom, even if it is short, even if it might not last. You’re looking forward.”

If you want to know how much a person loves himself, just look at his routine. Look at what he practices every day. Look at the attention and effort he pours into the roots that matter; see his discipline. His love will be visible through the boundaries he sets for himself, the things he accepts for himself, and the things he refuses to tolerate. You can see it in his work and dedication toward the manifestation of his dreams, and in how passionately he gives everything he has, how he sacrifices and suffers beautifully for the things closest to his heart.

“All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.”

The last memory I have of myself is blurry.

I cannot remember myself clearly, but I can sense that it has been a while.

It has been a while since I was myself.

Something very wrong happened to me, not suddenly, not directly, but quietly… in slow slices.

Something horrible replaced me beautifully.

Something I allowed to enter.

And now I find myself becoming someone I cannot recognise.

please do not let your monotonous days and the tendency to isolate yourself deviate and distract you from your visions and goals in life. let it mean something and have a grip on you.
