“We’re in a freefall into future. We don’t know where we’re going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you’re going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It’s a very interesting shift of perspective and that’s all it is … joyful participation in the sorrows, and everything changes.”
—“Sukhavati” by Joseph Campbell
“Don’t you just hate it when people make a joke about you, about something that you are actually incredibly insecure about? And they won’t ever realize it, but every fake laugh feels like a stab in your chest. Why? Because it hurts so much and brings up memories you’d rather forget. Worse still, you can’t say anything. Because then people would know how insecure you really are. So instead you just laugh it off, and hide the pain you feel inside.”

“Memories are only nice when you think back and you start smiling. If you think back too often, however, you will find your heart hurting ‘cause you know that you can never go back to those times.”
