Kafka said, “People crave intimacy, yet fear being truly seen.”
Dostoevsky said, “And so they settle for shallow connections, and calling it love while dying quietly in loneliness.”

it’s so weird how a solid chunk of Blazers fans have abandoned any semblance of humanity to champion a sub-Allstar level grifter. he’s not even that good

This is a great opportunity to talk about black American history and the NBA. Racism aside, many people have asked the questions, "Why is basketball/the NBA such a black dominated sport, even culturally black dominated?" Like everything black people do, it has been studied. /25

At the age now where It’s a Wonderful Life gets me choked up like every other scene. Just a movie that gets better and better with time, a film that captures the totality of life, regrets, love and community

In your 20s you will be tempted to prove that you’re doing well, it’s important you resist performing for an audience that isn’t watching.

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

you’re terrified of being ordinary.
so terrified that you won’t start anything unless you can be exceptional at it immediately.

won’t write unless it’s brilliant. won’t create unless it’s original. won’t try unless success is guaranteed. and this fear - this need to be special - is keeping you from being anything at all. being exceptional comes from being willing to be bad first. clumsy and uncertain and embarrassingly human first. but you can’t stomach that. can’t tolerate being a beginner. so you stay stuck in that space between nothing and something. never risking the ordinary that leads to extraordinary. never discovering what you might become if you’d just be willing to suck for a while.

you’re not special yet because you won’t be ordinary long enough to learn.
