ACTION IS THE ANTIDOTE TO DESPAIR
KEEP THE FAITH DO THE WORK
PASSION ABOVE ALL IS THE REMEDY AGAINST BOREDOM
EVERY DAY IS ALL THERE IS
WHAT YOU LOVE IS YOUR FATE
the past is the past. leave it there. leave it there. LEAVE IT THERE.
Kaveh Akbar, from "Wild Pear Tree"
Alejandra Pizarnik, tr. by Yvette Siegert, "Summer Goodbyes", Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962 - 1972
probably the best advice I've ever got was from my grandpa when I moved from my town and started a university, he told me to leave the house everytime when I start to feel down, just to go to the park, a supermarket, a bookstore, to even drive in a bus or tram, just be around other people because staying at home all the time kills you; and you know he was right
Find Me as the Creature I Am, Emily Jungmin Yoon
Life, and Nothing More… (1992), dir. Abbas Kiarostami
saw a woman comforting her sobbing child saying “i already told you, you have to keep looking forward, looking back just gets you hurt” and i thought she was sharing a beautiful life lesson about the importance of letting go of regret and resentment. but it turns out the kid just wasn’t looking where he was going and ran into a wall
