Wanting to be understood by others, or not wanting to contradict ourselves and our established identity—these are major blockers to unfolding.

Relying on craft and routine is a lot less sexy than being an artistic genius. But it is an excellent strategy for not going insane.

“You know, there’s a philosopher who says, “As you live your life, it appears to be anarchy and chaos, and random events, non-related events, smashing into each other and causing this situation or that situation, and then, this happens, and it’s overwhelming, and it just looks like what in the world is going on ? And later, when you look back at it, it looks like a finely crafted novel. But at the time, it don’t.”
― Joe Walsh

Never let the facts get in the way of the truth.

And be brave enough to say no, I don’t want a situationship, I want to know someone; I want to be known. I won’t put up with a love that’s disloyal or unkind or half-hearted, because I believe in something more. I don’t want endless options, the world at my fingertips. I want the world to fall away except for one person.

Whenever you’re stuck in a disagreement, come back to this: Are you arguing over what’s factual, what matters, or what works?
