“It began to feel like one of those journeys one takes in a dream, a journey that has no end, in search of something that can never be found, where if one wakes at last it is to the accelerated heartbeat of a tremor.” #sundaysentence

"And it's inside myself that I must create someone who will understand.
I write and that way rid myself of me and then at last I can rest.
My truest life is unrecognizable, extremely interior and there is not a single word that defines it."
Clarice Lispector

Good night

the best thing about reading fiction is that it teaches you to sit with ambiguity: with difficult choices and moralities that shift across circumstances and cultures. it invites you to look inward and to step into someone else’s shoes before passing judgment.

Your freedom lies between what happens and how you react.

Improvement doesn’t occur through aimless practice; it happens when you devote time to chip away at an aspect of your craft just outside your comfort zone.

[Joél Leon. @JoelakaMaG]

the best life strategy? be loving, be kind, be intentional, and be authentically you—not the shadow version of self masquerading and parading as you. the version with all the flaws, the baggage, and the love; that you that exists in spite of whatever the world may throw at you.

[Devin Jordan @CoachJordan82]

You might set the goal, but God sets the path. 🙏🏾
