i’m watching an ocean vuong video right now and he just said “language is real. the power of it is that it gets deeper than any human touch. if i were to touch you right now, i would only get to your skin. but when i speak to you, i’m all the way through”

One might sense gods everywhere, even within one’s own self. What if I am I but penetrated by divinities?

the good place writers really just said we will write a show so good so fresh so original so funny so clever so compassionate so full of new n interesting plot points n characters and we will develop the characters so well and the plot will be well written with meaningful n clever plot twists and we will have four seasons of it and end it like we always planned instead of milking the show’s popularity and tbh fuck other writers I RESPECT YOU!

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.
