"The key to a good life is not giving a fuck about more; it's giving a fuck about less, giving a fuck about only what is true and immediate and important."

If you find yourself consistently giving too many fucks about trivial shit that bothers you - your ex-boyfriend's new Facebook picture, how quickly the batteries die in the TV remote, missing out on yet another two-for-one sale on hand sanitizer - chances are you don't have much going on in your life to give a legitimate fuck about. And that's your real problem.

People get addicted to feeling offended all the time because it gives them a high; being self-righteous and morally superior feels good.

Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of another.

April book: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson, another recommendation from my sibling (a favorite of theirs, which I've heard a lot about, but admittedly am not particularly excited about)
I really enjoyed March's Red Queen--it reminded me of Kiera Cass' The Selection? But I think it's a series (?) and I'm not sure I'll read the rest (at least right now). I have a lot going on in my life right now, so I haven't done much reading really I guess, and I've been pretty stressed I don't know. I'm working on it. Just scheduled a doctor's appointment so maybe I'll ask about all my anxiety who knows.
Still have to answer my grad school offer too, anyone have any advice on whether a master's is worth it these days? (I'm probably going to say yes either way I guess but I'd love to hear about it)

Romanticising death or after life as an idealistic state that is supposed to be comforting for all those who completed their time on earth, however, it makes you wonder....is life truly worth living if the need to escape into alternate fictional reality which is spreading like a plague. Life will never be perfect, it isn't meant to be, perfect isn't perfect, perfect is corrupted and hollow inside.....maybe life is just about development of your problems (something mark manson talks about in his book "The subtle art of not giving a fuck") Don't get me wrong...I m not talking about existentialism.... although its comforting to look at life from an existentialist point of view. Anyways as I was saying....maybe life is just about finding ur Chandler and Joey and Pheobe, its about moving on from the problems that make u romanticise death or just any kind of escape to the problem of picking a snack that everyone will love on movie night, movie night not cause u need to escape the hurt, movie night cuz its family (blood or found) time, time to nerd out together and when the movie ends...not being disappointed that u have to get back to your normal life, but just a gust of wind that soothes ur scared heart and soul while u find comfort in the presence of your family, and once again you realise that the war is through and if ur past scars hurt or u pick up new wounds(cuz hooman no exist without pain) you know that you won't have to aid yourself while doing everything else. The path was long and so was the war, you've come a long way oh warrior, now its time to rest you tell yourself as u find a hand holding ur trembling hands, and with eyes that say, we're safe now...you don't have to pick your sword again, you are now allowed to rest and heal
