on mondays we write lists, she said
A list of quotes I am pretty into right now:
1. You are not going to run out of ideas. - Elise Cripe, or wherever she found it
2. Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original; whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. - C.S. Lewis
3. Love is not wasted if it falls through the cracks. - Erin Loechner
3. b. Freely you have received; freely give. - Yeshua (Matt 10:8)
4. And we have told the truth. That, on most days, we're not perfect, but we're fine, and on some days, we're not fine, but we're okay, and on a few singular days of the year: nothing is okay, not even a little, and everything is terrible, and forever, amen. - Erin, again
5. For just one second, look at your life and see how perfect it is. Stop looking for the next secret door that is going to lead you to your real life. Stop waiting. This is it: there's nothing else. It's here, and you'd better decide to enjoy it or you're going to miserable wherever you go, for the rest of your life, forever. - Lev Grossman, The Magicians
Reread them. Write them on the wall. Memorize them. Will they change the way you live or will they just sound really good until you have said them too many times and have to move on to the next guru?
Listen to them and then go write your own words for once. Or sing them. Whatever. Go. Go. Go!
