Fire is actually silent. The only noise that you hear is the protests from what the fire is consuming. It’s beautiful.

I have the directional sense of a goldfish, but I have accepted and am ok with that. GPS is a good friend of mine. 😉

Why do some people assume that everyone else in the world is responsible for giving them what they want when they want it?

Slugs are homeless snails. They are the vagabonds of the mollusk population.

Silence is underrated. To be clear, I love to blast music, but there is definitely something to be said for the lack of noise.

Control is a funny thing. It is a bundle of deception wrapped in a pretty package that looks like stable predictability. But it is all an illusion. A sparkly, beautiful, self-defeating illusion.
There are millions, if not more, variables that impact any given day or event in your life. The idea that you have any amount of control over what happens simply baffles me. Complete control over events simply cannot happen, and I think the people in the world who are most at peace are intimately familiar with this fact.
The one and only thing that you can control in life is your response, which – for the record – is not the same as a reaction. Most people react to things, and they are exerting no control in doing so, but don’t realize that. A response is more thoughtful than a reaction. Reactions are almost automatic, and rarely rational. If you can temper those reactions and take the time to respond instead, it is then that you are in control, and only of yourself.

Why is it that emotions are so exhausting? They’re literally chemical and electrical signals in your brain and body, but they can completely wipe you out. It’s so strange.

It amazes me that people (myself included) sometimes refuse to realize the part they play in creating and/or perpetuating their own problems.

Part of me really does just want to be a hermit, live on a bunch of property in the middle of nowhere with my dogs, read, write, draw, and most importantly, not deal with people’s bullshit.
