* If you express disagreement with my views, that is fine with me.
* If you disapprove of who I am, then I must steer clear from you.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

There is a strong feeling in favour of cowardly and prudential proverbs. The sentiments of a man while he is full of ardour and hope are to be received, it is supposed, with some qualification. But when the same person has ignominiously failed and begins to eat up his words, he should be listened to like an oracle. Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people, to discourage them from ambitious attempts, and generally console them in their mediocrity. And since mediocre people constitute the bulk of humanity, this is no doubt very properly so. But it does not follow that the one sort of proposition is any less true than the other, or that Icarus is not to be more praised, and perhaps more envied, than Mr. Samuel Budgett the Successful Merchant.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 38

I doubt my own doubt—
and that makes me sound sure.
Confidence,

It’s fucking mine, bitches.

"Without boundaries, you may feel overwhelmed, stressed, or taken advantage of, leading to burnout or resentment."

"Setting boundaries is not selfish—it’s necessary for your well-being."

Why can't we cherish happiness while we are happy as much as we know that we were happy when happiness lies in the past?

A quotation from Bill Watterson

CALVIN: Well, Hobbes, I guess there’s a moral to all this.
HOBBES: What’s that?
CALVIN: “Snow goons are bad news.”
HOBBES: That lesson certainly ought to be inapplicable elsewhere.
CALVIN: I like maxims that don’t encourage behavior modification.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1991-01-19)
