The average lifespan is 76 years. Middle age isn't 50. It's 38. The days are long, but the years are shorter than you think. If something doesn't feel right don't settle. Don't finish crappy books. You don't need to. Don't waste your time. Eventually the thing you will regret is not doing more of what you love. This is your life. This is it. People hate the truth for the sake of whatever it is that they love more than the truth. They love the truth when it shines warmly on them, and hate it when it rebukes them. -St AugustineSometimes courage looks like quietly walking away. Not throwing a punch. Not yelling back.
