“Ego is like a room of your own, a room with a view, with the temperature and the smells and the music that you like. You want it your own way. You’d just like to have a little peace, you’d like to have a little happiness, you know, just gimme a break. But the more you think that way, the more you try to get life to come out so that it will always suit you, the more your fear of other people and what’s outside your room grows. Rather than becoming more relaxed, you start pulling down the shades and locking the door. When you do go out, you find the experience more and more unsettling and disagreeable. You become touchier, more fearful, more irritable than ever. The more you try to get it your way, the less you feel at home.” ~Pema Chodron
(Greek). The spirit of joy or frenzy. Express Kefi.
“be careful with each other so you can be dangerous together.”
“Do not follow after the past; do not go forward to meet the future. Instead, just rest the mind naturally in the present awareness.”
~ Quote by Gampopa
love it.
“Now, this may seem strange from someone who writes about pretty dresses (mostly) every day, but: You Don’t Have to Be Pretty. You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”.”

life lessons
1. when cross-questioned in airports: always be vague.
2. the real world is not the idealistic, revolutionary world that was university. people don’t care.*
*that doesn’t mean you need to stop caring.
