Quote - Anthony Bourdain

I was raised without religion.I don't believe in a higher power.I am instinctively hostile to any kind of devotion.Certainty is my enemy.You know, I'm all about doubt, questioning one's self and the nature of reality.Constantly.

Anthony Bourdain

Quote - Courage

“Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor - the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant "To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart." Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences -- good and bad. Speaking from our hearts is what I think of as "ordinary courage.”

Quote - Matt Kahn

Most people do not see their beliefs.
Instead, their beliefs tell them what to see.
This is the simple difference between clarity and confusion.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Trying to Love

I'm really trying to love myself
But some days I find it really hard
Some days by the end
I find myself on the verge of crying
I blink and blink
Hoping that it will rid my eyes of the tears
Welling up

I wish I was okay with myself
I wish I didn't long for things I will never have

I wish I really did love myself just the way I am
