Always Running (spoken word)

I do a lot of running for someone who doesn’t run, And by that I mean I’m always running from something. Not an easy catch, From men, I

Some of you didn't grow up with Jamie and Adam telling you failure is always an option and that is okay, you just gotta approach the problem differently. Or if you did, you didn't internalize that message. (Also Meet the Robinson's anyone? From failure you learn!)

Seriously! So what if your first attempt fails? Try again! Do something different! Sometimes solutions aren't always clear and we have to be creative! It is okay to fail! Its okay to even walk away from the problem entirely and try something completely new! Just don't let that failure bog you down and fester.

u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw

Being good is commendable, but only when it is combined with doing good, is it useful.

"How can you ensure that an athlete is not a musician?"

"Will stupidity be what unleashes a moral panic?"

"Do you actually think it's cool that a grown adult with no job is only focused on imprisonment?"

"Become the human who makes other humans question their entire way of living."

"Never think of it as parenting. Think of it as the end of the world."

"Try to be the reason your doctor gets confused."

Have you lived?

Have you loved?

Have you felt the burning of passion or heard the softness of a lullaby?

Have you ridden a bike, felt the wind in your hair?

Have you laughed so hard your belly ached? Have you shared that laugh with a friend?

If you've ever helped someone,

If you've ever been brave when you were afraid,

If you choose every single day, to be better than you were yesterday,

I don't care what the world says.

You've done something.

Anaïs Nin, in a diary entry dated 27 February 1929, featured in The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin: Vol. IV, 1927-1931

BE THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE NOW.

Wear the clothes. Make the moves. Accept the responsibility.

Some people will say, "but I'm just a nobody, it doesn't matter what i do."

Yes it does.

History has its eyes on us all.

We all have the power to influence others with the way we live and the choices we make. To say that you don't matter is to lie to yourself and live in a delusion. It's not simply unkind or untrue.

If you want to have an empire,

BE AN EMPRESS.

Iiiiiii want a moment to be real,

wanna touch things i don't feel,

wanna hold on

and feeeeeel i belong.

How can the world want me to change?

They're the ones that stay the same.

They can't see me

but I'm still here.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.

— Khalil Gibran

“Relax. You will become an adult. You will figure out your career. You will find someone who loves you. You have a whole lifetime; time takes time. The only way to fail at life is to abstain.”

— Johanna de Silentio

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.

Now THAT looks like a baseball game I would pay to watch but it is nice to know I can watch it on YouTube. Thank you "60 Minutes" for introducing me to it.

Just like those wrinkles, stretch marks, and gray hairs. Own them... you earned them!

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.
