A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.

This minding of other people's business expresses itself in gossip, snooping and meddling, and also in feverish interest in communal, national, and racial affairs. In running away from ourselves we either fall on our neighbor's shoulder or fly at his throat. ~Eric Hoffer

Don't be afraid of being different, be afraid of being same as everyone else.

move in silence only speak when it's time to say checkmate.

It’s not just about leaving; it’s about accepting that things aren’t going to magically get better, that the person you’re clinging to won’t suddenly become who you need them to be!!

The hardest part is letting go of the fantasy – that deep-down hope that one day, everything will click. But love alone isn’t enough to fix a relationship that’s bleeding you dry.

You remember the good times, the potential, the shared dreams. That’s the trap, though – hanging onto what could be instead of seeing what is. If you’re constantly drained, doubting yourself, and holding on just because it’s familiar, it’s time to cut the cord. It’s not a failure to walk away; it’s actually one of the strongest things you can do. You deserve to be with someone who makes you feel whole, not someone who chips away at you bit by bit.

Walking away isn’t weakness; it’s choosing yourself when everything inside you wants to stay out of comfort or fear. Yeah, it’s going to hurt, and yeah, it’ll probably feel like shit for a while. But the freedom and peace that come from getting out of a toxic situation? That’s worth it. At the end of the day, you’ll realize that holding onto something that’s bad for you just isn’t worth the price you’re paying.

"Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash."

"The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world."

"Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in."

“Life and Death”🎭

Time may heal the wound, but the scar remains.

“If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”

― Bob Marley, Bob Marley: Guitar Chord Songbook

Harrison Ford once said:

They will criticize you for what you are, for what you are not, and for what they think you are.

They will judge you for what you do, for what you don't do, and for what you fail to do. They will talk about you for what you say and for what you keep silent about.

They will point at you for your successes and for your mistakes,

for your decisions and for your doubts. No matter how much you try to please, there will always be opinions.

So, live for yourself, because in the end, the only thing that matters is being true to your own path.

"Not everyone you want in your life wants you in theirs. So don't wear yourself out trying to please them or doing favors when, in reality, they couldn't care less if you're present or not.

Focus your energy on those who truly value your presence and appreciate you for who you are. Life is too short to invest time and effort in people who don't reciprocate. Surround yourself with those who make you feel valuable and support you every step of the way."

“Stay busy, so you don't have time to be sad.”

"The true horror of existence is not the fear of death, but the fear of life. It is the fear of waking up each day to face the same struggles, the same disappointments, the same pain. It is the fear that nothing will ever change, that you are trapped in a cycle of suffering that you cannot escape. And in that fear, there is a desperation, a longing for something, anything, to break the monotony, to bring meaning to the endless repetition of days."

— Albert Camus, The Fall

"My philosophy is: What people say about me is none of my business. I am who I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And that makes life easier.

We live in a world where funerals are more important than the deceased, marriage is more important than love, looks are more important than the soul. We live in a packaging culture that despises content."

~ Sir Anthony Hopkins

your biggest enemy is your uncontrollable mind.

“One day you will wake up refreshed, drink coffee and be able to read a book the same way you did when you were little. You will have a cat who curls up to sleep on your lap or a playful dog who is happy to see you. You will be the kindest you can be, listening to stories, and checking up on people often. You will make pancakes in the morning and decorate your abode with plants, your old paintings and cozy cushions. You will fill photo albums with blurry photos of your new friends and road trips and summery evenings. You will visit your favorite bakery and library often, and keep in touch with people you love. Things won’t be perfect, but you’ll be at peace with yourself and you will be in love with life again.”

"When sex becomes a production or performance, that is when it loses its value. Be mutual. Be loud. Be clumsy. Make noises, be quiet, and make a mess. Bite, scratch, push, pull, hold, thrust. Remove pressure from the moment. Love the moment. Embrace it. Enjoy your body; enjoy your partner's body. Produce sweat, be natural, entice your senses, give into pleasure. Bump heads, miss when you kiss, laugh when it happens. Speak words, speak with your body, speak to their soul. Touch their skin, kiss their goosebumps and play with their hair. Scream, beg, whimper, sigh, let your toes curl, lose yourself. Chase your breath; keep the lights on, watch their eyes when they explode. Forget worrying about extra skin, sizes of parts and things that are meaningless. Save the expectations, take each second as it comes. Smear your make up, mess up your hair, rid your masculinity, and lose your ego. Detonate together, collapse together, and melt into each other." - Corissa Marie
