This is an excellent read when you’ve come upon a worthy opponent.

“Success in warfare is gained by carefully accommodating ourselves to the enemy's purpose.“

This is an excellent read when you realized you've been giving way too many f*cks. 

"We suffer for the simple reason that suffering is biologically useful. It's nature's preferred agent for inspiring change. We have evolved to always live with a certain degree of dissatisfaction and insecurity, because it's the mildly dissatisfied and insecure creature that's going to do the most work to innovate and survive."

not judging myself -> not feeling like other people are judging me -> liking other people more

it's a nice effect

ooh you dyed your hair purple? can we see?

sure

this is the awesome purple color:

only some kind of amazing self confident person would have dyed their hair purple like that

i s2g this hair makes me feel more confident because i look in the mirror and think 'only someone who was really confident and not self-conscious would dye their hair purple' and it makes me less self-conscious about other people thinking i'm being too self-conscious

today was my first day of classes and i also went to some meetings and i felt really good

like i can be pretty damn good at faking normalcy in conversations sometimes, but i can't remember a time i've felt so much like i was actually socially competent, not just faking it and/or not giving a shit about the fact that i wasn't

and part of me thinks maybe it's ridiculous to feel like hot shit for being able to ask someone who already thinks i'm cool to get dinner with me but fuck it, i am hot shit
