Movie star speech

You are the star of a movie and this is the part of the movie where you get your heart broken, where the world tests you and people treat you like shit. But it has to happen this way. Otherwise, the end of the movie, when you get everything you want, won’t feel as rewarding. There are assholes out there, but in the end, they don’t matter. Because this movie is not about them. It’s never been about them. All this time, the movie’s been about you.

from the series BoJack Horseman

There is no happiness in stagnancy

A magic dwells in each beginning,
protecting us, telling us how to live.

High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm,
cleaving to none as to a home, […]

only he who is ready to journey forth
can throw old habits off.

Hermann Hesse

This is an excerpt from a great poem called ‘steps’ which I can only recommend to read in its whole beauty.

…but I wrote

I wrote some of the worst poetry west from the Mississippi River, but I wrote. And I finally sometimes got it right.

Pull it off… your way!

Any color works if you push it to the extreme.
