I revisited a lot of the old posts I had written earlier in the year, and I came to the conclusion that all those problems and conflicts that I was dealing with still apply. I don’t know if this means I haven’t grown as a person, which would be really disappointing. Or if this simply means no matter what stage of life you’re at, you will always be challenged with those problems that are most difficult for you—your vices, I suppose. Or maybe it’s too soon to determine that, maybe it’s just that these things take a while to understand how to deal with properly. Especially if they’re as deeply embedded as things that annoy you or your reactions or your thought process or your level of self-confidence/esteem…anything substantial you want to improve or alter.
I’m not going to live my life guarding my emotions from everyone I know, but sometimes it’s better to not wear my heart on my sleeve.
When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
– Paulo Coelho (via kari-shma) Via ज़िन्दगीI’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.
– Ferdinand de Saussure (via seventy-4) Via wide awake.
One day, a long time from now you’ll cease to care anymore whom you please or what anybody has to say about you. That’s when you’ll finally produce the work you’re capable of.
