No one blames you, my friend. You will be sorely missed.

As a matter of self-preservation, a man needs good friends or ardent enemies, for the former instruct him and the latter take him to task.

Diogenes (via zenhumanism)

Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.

Well “here we are again to experience the bitter scalding end…”

I truly want to wish you a happy life—from here on out. Fuck birthdays and their irrelevent ticking off of time—lowering your posture and skin elasticity toward the dirt.

For me, I try to focus on the moment. A simple buddhist-like concept: shit that has passed, I can’t fix it (only learn from it)—shit in the future, I will not worry about because I’ll get mired in over-analyzing hypothetical actions and reactions to hypothetical situations…

You know that feeling you get when you go somewhere for the first time and you notice everything: the trees, smells, breezes etc… Or the chase and first kiss of a new girl…Or running around with your kids…or even kicking garbage cans in a piss-stained club. Without a history or connotations these experiences are overwhelmingly positive and exciting. Well, its all still there if you choose to let go and take it in. And I try like fuck to do this. Doesn’t always work, but when it does it’s exhilarating. And the more I try to achieve this state the more often I am.

I love you.

It’s difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you. No-one really feels self-confident deep down because it’s an artificial idea. Really, people aren’t that worried about what you’re doing or what you’re saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously: you must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.
