The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.

“you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. it was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

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.

THIS:

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

master your craft so completely that it becomes your language. not the language you speak to impress others, but the language you think in. where the work isn’t separate from you, isn’t something you do, but something you are. where your hands know before your mind does. where you’ve repeated the fundamentals so many times they’ve dissolved into instinct.

it’s not just talent. it’s mind and body numbing devotion. it’s showing up when inspiration left. it’s the thousand hours nobody saw that make the one hour everybody wants.

excellence is a religion.
and the only prayer that matters is practice.

"Our cultural obsession with intelligence often gets tangled with elitism, but real intellectual sexiness is inclusive. It's not about having gone to the right university or having read the right books; it’s about being emotionally literate, culturally curious, and intellectually generous.
It’s the person who asks thoughtful questions and leaves space for nuance. It’s the person who sees learning as a collaboration, not a performance. What’s more limp than reciting someone else’s thoughts without tasting them first?"

There is a softness in me that only settles when you are near.

In your twenties there may be love. It's very important to ignore this love and pursue a Masters instead.

books are so cool because there are NO FUCKING ADS IN THEM

[blue @bluewmist]

life hack: stop trying to be cool. be nerdy and obsessive about the things you love. enthusiasm will get you farther than indifference.
