The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on.

Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out.

The process of growing up was nothing more than figuring out what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face.

Just met a “retired a long time ago” reading teacher. I asked for her best tip for encouraging kids to read.
“Well,” she says, “I had a big, burly guy carry a claw foot bathtub into my classroom and declared it the Reading Tub. After that, kids fought to climb in & read.” 🛁 📚

No matter how good of a person you are, you're the asshole in someone's story.

[Syafiq Segaf @syafiq]

Sometimes people pretend you're a bad person so they don't feel guilty for the things they did to you.

"If only you could, some way, forgive me." He breathed in and waited.

She looked at her toes. Why should the injured, the still bleeding, bear the burden of forgiveness? She didn't answer.

Whenever you feel like the entire world is against you, always remember that you are not that important.

[Syafiq Segaf @syafiq]

There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between.

We don't come into this world as finished products and we have to trigger personal growth anyway we can.

[Syafiq Segaf @syafiq]

You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.

To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.

“One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. ‘Which road do I take?’ she asked. ‘Where do you want to go?’ was his response. ‘I don’t know,’ Alice answered. ‘Then,’ said the cat, ‘it doesn’t matter.’”

So walk me back home, my darling,
Tell me dreams really come true.
Whistling, whistling,
Here in the dark with you.

[Syafiq Segaf @syafiq]

Now our mission is complete
And our friends are here
Evil things brought down by the light
Life goes on until the end

[Syafiq Segaf @syafiq]

When you see a good move, look for a better one.

[Syafiq Segaf @syafiq]

Annihilation is always the answer. We destroy parts of ourselves every day. We Photoshop our warts away. We edit the parts we hate about ourselves, modify the parts we think people hate. We curate our identity, carve it, distill it. Krista’s wrong. Annihilation is all we are.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

[Syafiq Segaf @syafiq]

I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you.
