you’re on a conveyor belt heading into Time’s mouth, the good news is you’re with everything else

the act of creation, even just as a hypothetical to leverage, wields so much power. i want to know how to make things just so that i know i can, so that the option to do so always exists. it soothes me, to imagine something and know i can actually bring it into the world with my hands if i so choose to.

Every day of your lives is practice in becoming the person you want to be. No instantaneous miracle is suddenly going to occur and make you brave and courageous and true.

— Audre Lorde delivering the Commencement Address at Oberlin College, 1989

“Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It’s your masterpiece after all.” - Nathan W. Morris

@simonsarris Why are you so talented? You write, you build, you design, you cook, you photograph... Excellent piece about a world long gone and utterly destroyed.

The Most Precious Resource is Agency

The world is a very malleable place.

The driving force that has moved me so far has been the pleasure of editing and updating my profile one phrase at a time, that is, the beautiful and precious desire to introduce my thoughts, worries, skills, achievements, and even myself.

You'll probably have to find the city where you feel at home to know what sort of ambition you have. — Paul Graham

That night reminded me of how much more enjoyable it is to genuinely invest in whatever you’re doing, even if it’s not immediately appealing to you. This is especially true when it comes to work. It may sound easier to give nothing—to promise to keep your face pointed at the screen, and nothing more, to do “braindead” work—but I actually think it’s a lot harder. This isn’t a bid against work that others might deem unglamorous or boring (most jobs can be interesting to the right people), it’s a bid against apathy generally. I don’t think checking out for long stretches of time is good for the human spirit.
