When you are young people wrongly conclude you have a beautiful soul from your good looks. When you are old people wrongly conclude you don’t have a beautiful soul from your bad looks.
‘Yesterday’ is a myth we use to hold onto ourselves; but sometimes you should let go of the myth. Let yesterday disappear, do not let it become part of your story.
We can make our names brand new.
We do not grow old by wrongs being done to us; we grow old by the wrongs we do to others.
Think: how does today fit into the story of yours that has many pages? When you point at it how will you be able to say ‘and this was the day I did this part of the goal’.
Our happiness is often general and directed at many things; it is through sadness we realize the value of something in particular.
I had so many ridiculous conversations yesterday; really it was just ridiculous how different they all were. Over breakfast we talked about whether ‘neat’ was the worst of all positive adjectives. At work my friends divulged their abhorrence for strawberries. Then at night on the porch we talked about taking responsibility and whether or not you should dislike people. The medley of it all happening in one day seemed as silly as the four fellows I saw ‘cheers’ their chocolate milks after reading the nutritional information at UDF.
You couldn’t have written the screenplay for it; it is all too wonderful and diverse and unpredictable. Conversation is a terrific thing and you should be excited each time you are in one.
When other people surprise you, don’t smash them back into their old box. Let the new settle in; let people grow. We should be horribly sad how small we have to make the world in our minds to keep our mental stability.
I am really excited about today.
