things i like.

"If you show that you are afraid of them, you give promise of a good hunting, whereas if you show indifference, they begin to doubt their own power and therefore tend to let you alone."



"...there is too much respect paid to the opinions of others, both in general matters and in small ones. One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways."

Having turned inward in a search for meaning, we turn outward in a search for direction, scanning others for the social signals they emit regarding what is in and what is out, what is desirable and what is not. . . . This person is oriented not to inner values but to other people. It is in the peer group that acceptance is found and outcasts are named. . . . Where once people took pride in accomplishments and in their character, [they] think only of how they stand with others. . . . Once people worked to achieve tangible ends, to accomplish things. Now, such accomplishments are of far less significance than one's "image." Once people worked; now they manipulate. Once people sweated; now they seduce. Once people wished to be respected, to have their accomplishments recognized; now they wish to be envied, regardless of whether they are envied for anything they have actually accomplished.

and it hurts when we fall, and fairness doesn’t enter it at all.
I know I play rough, but I said I loved you and isn’t that enough? 

my sleeping is still affected by sadness, but the weather! rain, thunder, wind. its dramatic yet calming in one. 

i am too sad to fall asleep
