Who the fuck cares where you went to school or where you work? The question is: Is everyday experience good, healthy, beautiful? Because I have to tell you, while it might be cool to work for a company like Google, Apple, or The New Yorker, if your job is stupid, stressful and your boss is an asshole, there is nothing good or prestigious about that. While it might seem right to go to a school like Berkeley, if classes are overcrowded and students are nervous, anxious, religious zealots from Orange County, are you sure you want to go there? What’s good about that? To believe in prestige is to privilege abstract, collective impression over palpable, daily experience. To which I say: fuck prestige. Do what serves your everyday vitality. – Daniel Coffeen

I Feel like People Get Lost
I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy. You know, we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that fixes everything. But happiness is a mood and a condition, it’s not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry; it’s not permanent, it comes and it goes, and that’s okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness a lot more often. – One Tree Hill
Some People Pass through Our Lives
Some people pass through our lives for a season to teach us lessons that could never be learned if they stayed. – Mandy Hale
Don’t Find a Reason
Don’t find reasons to stay with someone who always finds a reason to not better their future with you.
When Someone Treats You
When someone treats you like an option, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation. It’s that simple.
