“If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don’t tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don’t understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don’t have the courage to ask questions.”

my whole “philosophy” is to appreciate the small stuff…. and idk in this strange way i think i am lucky ……. some people spend so much of their adult lives chasing goals and esteem and shiny achievements and thinking their career is the maypole everything else moves around before some Shocking Event puts things in perspective and they realise the error of their ways and regret the years lost …… while i coped with being suicidal in my early teens by finding every pink sky and tasty coffee and clutching onto it with all i had left and ever since i found my way out of that dark place during every meetup with friends, every cinema trip, every time i make my cousin laugh, every moment like moving out or getting an entry level job that some people might think of as minor and a step on the ladder to better things, i sit there with glassy eyes thinking “god and to think i was going to give up all of this” ……….. i am lucky that i picked up this attitude of appreciating every small thing so early on and i have so many years left to make the most of it …… yeah i did just watch the movie soul and bawl my eyes out what about it

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

found it - she was replying to this thread that starts “unpopular opinion: i don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; i think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die” and i for one think that’s fucking brilliant

When I was being trained for the job I have right now, which mainly consists of meeting, helping, and communicating with others, my boss told me that he’d like for me to under-promise and over-deliver, and i’ve never gotten that out of my head, because it means that being dependable means speaking conservatively and acting liberally on behalf of whoever I’m helping, and I love that. That isn’t my natural form of interaction. I dream big and I’m sloppy with my promises. I mean them at the time, but I often don’t follow through because I forget or I lose track of time–I speak optimistically, not realistically. He asked me to speak realistically and then to act in such a way that impresses optimism. I think that’s a great way to go about life–to be humble, to not overestimate yourself, to not speak in definitives, to leave room and grace for yourself to be fallible, and then when you’re able, go above and beyond what you said you’d do, because that’s how you become a reliable person.

Writing is either a way to shed my self-delusions or a way to develop them. A well-practiced, conclusive narrative is usually a dubious one.

Punk teaches the same inversion of power as the Gospel, the singer said. You learn that the coolest thing about having a microphone is turning it away from your own mouth.
