I try to be understanding and nice even when someone hurts me, because I’ve never regretted being kind, but I have regretted being mean and letting my anger get the best of me. 

[thirdity]

“But if I hope to understand in order to accept things — the act of surrender will never happen. I must take the plunge all at once, a plunge that includes comprehension and especially incomprehension. And who am I to dare to think? What I have to do is surrender. How is it done? I know however that only by walking do you know how to walk and — miracle — find yourself walking.”

— Clarice Lispector, Água Viva

Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope,

Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.

When you prioritize your own life, you’re creating a fighting chance. Always show up for you.

There should be a word for the microscopic spark of hope that you dare not entertain in case the mere act of acknowledging it will cause it to vanish, like trying to look at a photon. You can only sidle up to it, looking past it, walking past it, waiting for it to get big enough to face the world.

I want to get to the point where I can be myself, entirely, without reservation or embarrassment, and there’s nothing to apologize for.

The truth is that the default setting of the human nervous system is a kind of terrified, irritable baseline. We are wired for hypervigilance. That's why we pay so much more attention to things that threaten us than to things that comfort us. It's why we remember bad things so much better than good ones. It's why hope is a defiance of biology, a conscious decision to override the nervous system.”

David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

And if nothing else, please, let your love be bigger than your anger.

Brianna Pastor, Good Grief

I’ve always been hurrying to find something that I can’t even remember the name of, but I think i’ll know it when I see it. The windows are wide open and I can smell the pine trees, my bones no longer splinter when I step into the sun. Everything is lighter, and I breathe easier. I’d recognize it anywhere.

It's July and I have hope in who I am becoming.

It was amazing how our minds crafted stories for strangers who probably needed love more than our close-minded judgments.
