All you can do is put more distance between you and him, make him smaller. Make him less *you*.

After life - death; after death - life again. After the world - the pale; after the pale - the world again.

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.

Everyone is alone. Everyone is empty. People no longer have any need of others. You can always find a substitute for any talent. Any relationship can be replaced. That's the world I grew tired of… And yet, for some reason... I can't even imagine s omeone else besides you killing me… Say, what do you think...? After all this is done, will you be able to find a replacement for me?

"What need is there to weep over parts of l i fe? The whole of it calls for tears." -Seneca

"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself the master of others, but remains more of a slave than they are." -Rousseau

She said better l uck next time don't worry so much
Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
As I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave

Pleasure disappoints, possiblity never.

All those moments will be lost in time, like t e ars in rain.

Melancholy is an underused word. It doesn't mean grim and miserable; it means grasping without rage the fact that the world is full of folly and greed, that it is rare to find inner peace, that it is hard to live comfortably with those we love, that it is very unusual to have a career that is both financially rewarding and morally uplifting, that many decent people have a very hard time. Often, sadness simply makes a lot of sense.

"Perfect is the e n emy of good" -Voltaire

"There's a tremendous amount of freedom on this canvas and that's what makes it fun." -Bob Ross

"The loneliest moment in someone's life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

I love this game people c all "life" from the bottom of my heart.

"And I think that the ultimate way you and I get lucky is if you have some success early in life, you get to find out early it doesn't mean anything. Which means you g e t to start early the work of figuring out what does mean something" - David Foster Wallace

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." -Jaddu Krishnamurti

Your flesh is a relic... a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh and a new world awaits you. We demand it.

"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions." -Thomas Jefferson

"Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know." -Lao Tsu

And so I continued living like a zombie. Grieving not only the loss of an idol, but mainly the loss of my old securities. Of the confident man I used to think I was. Of how I imagined I could make life happen...

Once again, it's on. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ want to know where Goggins has been. I've been in that mental lab. See, there's all kinds of months. Some folks got sober October. They got all kinds of ♥♥♥♥ for people to go through - trying to better themselves. I've got ♥♥♥♥ You Every Day - Get After It Every Day mentality.

There is more under the arch of heaven than victory and defeat. We may fall back, but not forever. We may feint and we may weave, but not forever. We may yet be doomed to lose all we cherish, but we shall do so in the knowledge that we could have turned away and did not. They can never have this, not if they burn all we ever built and scorn us through the dancing flames. You hear me? We remained true.

Unfortunately, the clock is ticking. The hours are going by. The past increases. The future recedes. Possibilities decreasing. Regrets mounting. Do you understand?
