Those who have lighted the flame within us.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each one of us has cause to think deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Instead of killing yourself

Wait until
A year from now
Where you say,
“Holy fuck,
I can’t believe I was going to kill myself before I etcetera’d….
Before I went skinny dipping in Tennesee,
Made my own IPA.
Tried out for a game show,
Rode a camel drunk,
Skydived alone,
Learned to waltz with clumsy old people,
Photographed electric jellyfish,
Built a sailboat from trash,
Taught someone how to read
Etc. etc. etc.”
The red washing
down the bathtub
can’t change the color of the sea
at all. 

(But before you wait, get the professional help you deserve. Time doesn't always heal but a qualified doctor can help you get there.)

Some people just act like they are trying to help you

Pride

Sometimes it’s hard to open your hand, but you need to…

Never forget 3 types of people in your life:

1 who helped you in difficult times
2 who left you in difficult times
3 who put you in difficult times

Some friends.

Instead of judging people

Instead of judging people by their past, stand by them and help repair their future.

Indifferent people

Be with those who help your being.
Do not sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.
- Rumi
