Everything is Quiet, as She Waits

Distilling someone from who you think they are, who you want them to be... inconceivable.

Just a Rule that You Can Bend

"It's just your brain telling you you can't," I've been told, in rockclimbing, and in skiing. If I can ignore it, sometimes I find my body could reach that hold, or stay in control down that slope, after all.


I wonder how many things I will miss because my brain says I can't, and how many times I'll fall because I ignored it.

Insecurity*

causes people to be thoughtful, aware.

Genuinely confident people are rare, fun, and in the long run, uninteresting.
