No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
–Steve Jobs, Stanford University commencement speech, 2005.
Truer words have never been spoken, truly one of the great innovator’s of our time.

I’ve had a lot of time to think lately, with the lack of university and people to occupy myself with. I’ve come to this realisation that I am not invincible, I do not know everything, and no matter how hard you try to achieve the ideal life, things aren’t always going to turn out the way you planned. Here’s hoping things happen for a reason.
I felt you in my legs
before I even met you.
& when I laid beside you
for the first time
I told you,
I feel you in my heart
& I don’t even know you.
Now we’re saying bye, bye, bye.
I’ve been sitting here for over an hour, with this song on repeat. All I can think about is that moment; sitting in the car sipping cheap wine, the waves crashing in front of us. The pair of us feeling so washed out & absolutely speechless at how this moment could not have been more perfect.
Compartmentalization noun; isolation or
splitting off part of the personality or mind
with lack of communication and consistency
between parts.
Practice makes perfect, right?
