“i’d do it all over again” charm

i don’t know. i’m barely a person. i just want to be kind and hold someone’s hand. eat an ice cream cone. stare at the lake. feel the sun on my skin. lay in the grass. run through a sprinkler. it’s so easy to forget life is supposed to feel like a deep breath and not a gasp

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

Joy Sullivan, from "Long Division", Instructions for Traveling West
