Don’t ever compliment me by insulting other women. That’s not a compliment, it’s a competition none of us agreed to.

It’s messing people up, this social pressure to “find your passion” and “know what it is you want to do”. It’s perfectly fine to just live your moments fully, and marvel as many small and large passions, many small and large purposes enter and leave your life. For many people there is no realization, no bliss to follow, no discovery of your life’s purpose. This isn’t sad, it’s just the way things are. Stop trying to find the forest and just enjoy the trees.

Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.

“We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.”

Yeah, especially when those ten years are up, and you are left with your diploma and nothing else.

Towarzyszu podróży, zbudowałeś byt swój zasklepiając jak termit wyloty ku światłu i zwinąłeś się w kłębek w kokonie nawyków, w dławiącym rytuale codziennego życia. I choć przyprawia cię on co dzień o szaleństwo, mozolnie wzniosłeś szaniec z tego rytuału przeciw wichrom, przypływom, gwiazdom i uczuciu. Dość trudu cię kosztuje, by co dnia zapomnieć swej kondycji człowieka. Teraz glina, z której zostałeś utworzony, wyschła i stwardniała. Nikt już się nie dobudzi w tobie astronoma, muzyka, altruisty, poety, człowieka, którzy zamieszkiwali może ciebie kiedyś.

I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog’s. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: “Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.

I am 117% certain this is why I don’t have all the superpowers that I want.
