TU E IL TUO MONDO

If you're not angry you are not paying attention

Come quando inizi a piangere senza un motivo preciso. In realtà stai piangendo perché ne avevi troppi.

Sono rimasta in silenzio. Succede questo quando si hanno troppe cose da dire.

“Sapete cosa fa svanire questa prigione? Ogni forma di affetto sincero e profondo. Che sia un amico, un fratello, un amante a liberarci dalla prigione, senza questi affetti saremmo morti. Ogni volta che si rivivono questi affetti, la vita rinasce.”

- Vincent Van Gogh.

“Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal.”

there is a distinct difference in being nice vs being kind. niceness is reactionary, an extension of societal imprinting related to appearing civilized and pleasant. it’s automatically saying “hey, how are you?” when greeting someone.

kindness is very different, it looks like saying, “hey, last time we talked you mentioned [thing], what happened with that? did you get it figured out?” it comes from a place of sincerity and fosters genuine intimacy between you and others.

When I was about 11, my father was listening to NPR in the car and I was the captive audience in the back seat with no choice but to listen. It was some gardening and/or food themed show and the host was talking about how carrots grown in the winter produce more sugar. This is an evolutionary tactic on the carrot’s part to survive harsh conditions. And that was when this man dropped the most banger line I’ve ever heard. “When you bite into a carrot and it tastes sweet, that’s the carrot saying ‘I don’t want to die.’” I was floored, changed as a person forever. This line haunts me. The poetry. The emotion. NPR made me the sappy garden idiot I am today, romanticizing senescence and over analyzing the science behind vegetables.
