Close your eyes.
Love is lusting for me.
Love is longing for me.
Love is lusting for me.
Love is longing for me.
Feel it in your chest.

[Jean-Marc Saint Laurent @jeanmarcsaint]

The bastards you’ve outlasted,
The bad habits you’ve outgrown,
May these be your glory.

[Jean-Marc Saint Laurent @jeanmarcsaint]

The glory of boredom

Lose passion for your work,
I implore you.
I used to seek to love my work,
It made me a pain.
Have you endured those people who expect to LOVE what they do?
I have.
I have watched them switch jobs so often–
Until nothing works.
Then nothing satisfies.

[Jean-Marc Saint Laurent @jeanmarcsaint]

There is nothing world-destroying about a colleague who complains about their weekend,
Nor a colleague who’s contracted a RBF
Nor coffee that tastes like black sand.
Keep a running tally of things of which you are proud,

[Jean-Marc Saint Laurent @jeanmarcsaint]

I am
sick with
the need
2 succeed
I fear
I will

There’s only one responsible way to wear sunglasses in this economy:
