About Me

"But the great failure of all such art, at least in my own view, lies in the fact that man's most able self is his conscious self- his intending self. The psychological view can at best even assuming that it were accure, tell us what man is in spite of himself" - Ben Shahn, The Shape of Content Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.and if I die in my sleep are you still willing to be everything you promised you would be? if anyone has taught me anything it's that love isn't always enough, and if I have taught myself anything it's that I think that it should be.
