WHY DOES THIS WORLD SEEM TO BE MEANT FOR SKINNY PEOPLE ONLY.
OR MAYBE ITS JUST THAT OUR NOTION OF BEAUTY IS SKINNY.
SERIOUSLY, I DONT SEE HOW THIS NOTION OF OURS CAN EVER CHANGE.

nothing cures sorrow
Whether it may someday fade or forever linger, when you are amidst it, sorrow is sorrow. The pain cannot be rationalized away. The pain cannot be masked.

You should not just walk or even run; you should sprint. If you make it a sprint instead of just running, you will be able to accomplish much more in the same amount of time.
While I’m still learning to do ultradian...
how to focus!
