for a lot of us, 2018 was a time of grappling with change. realising that something that used to bring us joy doesn’t anymore, or something that was once comforting is now constricting. a year when self-reflection meant re-assessment rather than reassurance. the end of what was once a beginning.
so for 2019, I hope the confusion and apprehension that comes with unprecedented change eases. I hope you give yourself what you need rather than what you want, because that’s how you’ll grow with your surroundings. water instead of coffee, sleep instead of the internet, productivity instead of procrastination. establish who you are and who you want to be, where you are and where you want to be, why you are and why you want to be. if those answers aren’t as clear as you want them to be, that’s okay. you’re more than okay.
the bulk of 2018′s upheaval is over if you want it to be, because chaos only exists when we perceive it as so. onwards, even if you’re not sure it’s upwards.
y’know…. conversations about world war ii would be a lot more bearable and constructive if white men found that period rightly horrific rather than pornographic
We glorify war because it’s the only time we’re allowed to release the beast and not go to jail for it.
You want to see who a man truly is, put him in a battle.
Man is never more himself, than when he has nothing to lose.
