this is so hot.
this is a great one. and it makes me smile. (thinking of you, m.)
@JaytheBigLug this is the one that always gets me.
this one goes out to ML, the ML. :)
could we all just give poor moz a break here? yes, he’s “unreliable” when it comes to performances. but hasn’t anyone paid any attention to the first track on his last record?
to morrissey, i say, “do your best and don’t worry.” we still love you. feel better soon.
- people are far more understanding, sympathetic, and kind than you often expect
- that understanding and kindness can come from the strangest, randomest places
- you’re always stronger and braver than you think
- it’s not just a matter of survival; it’s courage
- allies are all around you - family, friends, chosen family - and you must call on them in times of trouble
- love can replace misunderstanding and anger if you make the effort to put it aside and remember the LOVE
- you often have to admit your fear and find a way to face it - or, sometimes, you have to put it aside for awhile and come back to it
- it’s okay to lose your shit
- it’s okay to be positive immediately after losing your shit
- it’s okay to take care of yourself in the midst of crisis
- it’s important to stay open to the new possibilities that crisis can present
i’m not necessarily wiser, but these are things i learned recently that got me through. and they will continue to get me through. lessons learned.
"this is exactly what i needed to read tonight. thank you, rob.

You say you not only want to be loved, but that you also want to love? Then learn the fantasies and symbols and beliefs that hold people’s lives together. Be interested in feeling the crushing weight and deep comfort of their web of memories. Every now and then, dive in and swim along in their stream of consciousness. And yes, be willing to accompany them when they’re writhing in their personal hells as well as when they’re exploring the suburbs of paradise. All these tasks will be exceptionally worthy of your time in the coming weeks, Aries."
