I did my part. I hope my absence brings you the peace my love never could.

I don't even know how to explain it. It's like, I'm not heartbroken in a loud way anymore. I'm not crying every night. I'm just empty. It's like someone turned off the light inside me and now I'm just sitting in the dark, pretending it's fine.

Your trauma might explain why you built walls, but it doesn’t justify why you turned them into weapons. Pain is never a permission slip to mistreat those who love you. Healing means learning to stop bleeding on the ones who didn’t hurt you.

learning that addiction is a progressive narrowing of the range of things that make one happy was kinda life changing for me. i apply it to everything not even just addiction i am always checking to ask if i am narrowing my range of happiness or widening it

If I ever see a flaw of yours, i'd say my eyes are the flawed ones.

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“There’s a legend about a Chinese painter who was asked by the emperor to paint a landscape so pristine that the emperor can enter it. He didn’t do a good job, so the emperor was preparing to assassinate him. But because it was his painting, legend goes, he stepped inside and vanished, saving himself. I always loved that little allegory as an artist. Even when it is not enough for others, if it is enough for you, you can live inside it.”

— Ocean Vuong, from an interview with Zoë Hitzig in Prac Crit
