existentialism

LINK: existentialism

Currently listening to: U – Stray Kids feat. TABLO

You fill up my mind 24/7
I stay up all night, I can’t even rest
You seem to be fine
The way that you smile it’s giving me a heartache
‘Cause I should be the one protecting it

What is one of your favorite quotes? And why?

Prompt created by yours truly. 
Feel free to use any prompts for June that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” 

— Barack Obama, New Hampshire primary speech, January 2008.

I think that every person has a purpose in this world.

  • writing stories that make someone feel less alone at 0200
  • saving lives in the hospital, clinics, or skilled nursing facilities
  • being that friend who somehow knows what to say to comfort others or simply listens
  • helping those in need (whether it’s your time, money, or skills)
  • making music that makes someone’s Monday a bit more bearable
  • creating films or shows that remind us what it means to be human
  • raising children with patience and intention
  • educating the future generation
  • striving to become the best version of themselves
  • cooking meals that feel like a hug
  • making a positive movement, even if it’s a micro-movement

Whatever it is, it fucking matters.

Your life is your own experience, it’s a personal journey, and no one can take that away from you.

    I wholeheartedly agree- we could not be complete without everyone doing what they do!

    I don’t often go to the Apostle Paul for inspo–he strikes me as a narrow-minded scold–but this lovely post does remind me of First Corinthians, chapter 12.

    The last sentence, unfortunately I’m tempted to disagree with it. Yes, life is our own experience and our own personal journey, but there are those, namely politicians, who can – and do – take it away from us.

      we can’t control what the politicians do but we have control over what we can do
