We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.

Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .

How was your interview? You have to know I was so excited/nervous/anxious for you! asked by ex--libris

Ah thank you for you asking! I think it went really well. There was maybe one time where I couldn’t piece together my thoughts. But other than that, I think it was great. He was really nice and friendly and at the end said I reminded him of his daughter because I told my dad not to come with me to the meeting. And he said he’d keep an eye on my application without me even asking… I think I’ll find out soon if I got in!

Avoid destructive thinking. Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind. Let enough negative thoughts or improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person sinks just like a ship.
