How you judge other people. What you first reach to insult someone with — especially when it’s physical — says infinitely more of you than them. - Brianna Wiest

It’s doing, not thinking about doing, that creates a life well lived. If you want your life to be different, do differently.

Life contracts before it expands, and pulls back before it leaps forward. This balancing act is not something we should resist, but rather, embrace.

Make a list of all the imperfect people you’ve known in your life who have had love. Who have had romantic partners and best friends and jobs you could only ever dream of. Make a list of all the people who are conventionally unattractive and spiritually adrift and imperfect and all the things each one of them had despite being that way. Make it your own personal proof that you do not need to be perfect to be good enough.
