“There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.”

When you lose yourself, lay down in your bed, light a candle, play music if you feel like it, and think about everything, or think about nothing, just lay there. Recollect yourself. Breath. You might even sleep, but when you wake up keep that moment with you. The one where you were calm on your bed completely yourself. Be okay with that. Accept it for what it is. Remember that you’ll be able to find that place again. Maybe in a different place or a different point in life. It may even be the next day or next week. Let yourself come back to it. You’ll always be calm in that moment despite anything else.
“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery—isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”
I’m sure practically everyone feels this way once in a while, but I really wish I had an easier life. I’m an ungrateful human being. Universe grant me patience and strength.
“You cannot see clearly, because you are so full of expectations, hopes,desires. Your eyes are covered with many layers of dust: you need a deep cleansing of your eyes. That’s what meditation is. Let the thoughts disappear, the hopes disappear, the desires disappear. Then you have a clarity, then your eyes are perfect mirrors.”
“We’re not a very patient society, so I think that maybe people get into relationships, and if they’re not exactly the way they want them to be and there’s no quick fix, they just give up.”
Come with a man on your shoulders, come with a hundred men in your hair, come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet, come like a river full of drowned men which flows down to the wild sea, to the eternal surf, to Time!
Bring them all to where I am waiting for you; we shall always be alone, we shall always be you and I alone on earth, to start our life!
Stop that shit, kid. Don't be on to your next victim. Next week, you start school and you're attempting to keep this new job. You won't have time for emotions this semester. Someone's going to get hurt and it won't be you. You're barely going to have enough time to wipe your ass correctly.
