Pulvis et umbra sumus. Nothing matters in the long run because we're all just walking corpses, dust in the wind, so just try to be happy and as long as you're not stepping on anyone else's toes, it doesn't really matter how you get there. Take that day off and just go to the beach. Have that extra scoop of ice cream. Take that vacation. Hug your mom. Adopt a dog. Tell your crush. Just do at least one thing to make you happy everyday.

Rage of Aquarius

One of my teachers in elementary school was a fanatic about Robert Frost. We read, discussed, researched everything about this poet that year. The final part of Frost’s poem ‘The Road Not Taken’ has always stuck with me:

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I think as a result I have taken many a road less traveled. (These were not always well thought out roads!)

You tried and you failed miserably.
Lesson is, never try.

It sounds like a joke but I wish I listened to Homer at least a bunch of times.

"When fear comes in the door, truth goes out the window."

Never been more true since the pandemic, with all the paranoid ideas about vaccines and masks floating around. We're all just scared.

"People cry not because they're weak, but because they've been strong for too long."
--Johnny Depp

This hit me like a train when I read it because, funnily enough (not r Ally funny, but you get it), I had been crying. I had been in my bed sobbing because I always feel like I'm falling apart and worry that it's too late to out myself back together. And I had been crying because I had been holding it together for so long. I really think this quote is true because at least I always hold it together for a long time, and then every once in a while I let it all out. Now I'm less worried about crying because I know that it doesn't mean I'm weak.

My favorite quote is "we stopped looking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside us." Said by the joker... Now, no, it probably isn't an "inspirational" quote. But, it really explains a lot when you think about it.
