Imagine a world in which
you were actually perfect.
Finished.
Done.
With nothing to chase
nothing to walk toward.
How boring.
God, how boring.
— Arthur Brooks

One thing that’s easy to lose sight of in our culture is that despite the challenges, growing old is a gift. It gives you time to experience more, but also to have a greater impact and transform your vision of a good world into reality.
And to set up a charming stand like this!

“I have no idea how many people she talked to through those years, but at least a thousand,” Matthews said. “She had never had any hesitancy caring and just being present with whoever sat down on that chair.”

Permission Granted

“I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, who are afraid of showing they care because it’s uncool. It’s uncool to have passion. It’s so much easier to lose when you’ve shown everyone how much you don’t care if you win or lose. It’s much harder to lose when you show that you care, but you’ll never win unless you also stand to lose. I’ve said it before. Don’t be afraid of your passion, give it free reign, and be honest and work hard and it will all turn out just fine.” ― Tom Hiddleston

Here’s a lovely thought piece by Spencer Sekulin on making peace with the ghosts of lives unlived and becoming your imperfect, unpredictable, beautiful self.
Forgive Yourself for Not Becoming Everything You Wanted – Spencer Sekulin
To live one life, you need to condemn many others.
Yet to try to live all of them keeps you stuck, forever.
Spencer’s fiction is also terrific. If you’re looking for excellently written fantasy, check out his work!

“Awful first drafts are fine—Agree with this. If you don’t finish something, you’ll never get in the game. Just quell the voice in your head that says “Are you kidding? No one is going to want to read this drivel” and keep on going.”
