“Cure yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.

Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus.

Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile.

Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a touch of cinnamon.

Put love in tea instead of sugar, and take it looking at the stars.

Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.

Get strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that is born from it.

Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, and looking at the world with the eye of your forehead.

Jump, dance, and sing, so that you live happier.

Heal yourself with beautiful love, and always remember: you are the medicine.”

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from―it’s where you take them to."

| Jim Jarmusch

“Writing is easy,” Pulitzer Prize–winning sportswriter Red Smith once said. “All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open your veins, and bleed.”

I don’t think love is extinguishable. I think it’s like matter - it just changes form.

Now, let me not give the impression here that I believe in the supernatural— I don’t. But then, neither do I go hunting for a rational basis for everything that happens. (From Ghachar Ghochar)

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”

Home is not where you were born; home is where all your attempts to escape cease.

Naguib Mahfouz

Mother says there are locked rooms inside all women; kitchen of lust,
bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy.
Sometimes the men - they come with keys,
and sometimes, the men - they come with hammers.

The House // Warsan Shire

“The old men swam together through great oceans of nostalgia before finally coming ashore on a strand of melancholy.”
