if one wants to imagine sisyphus happy, just imagine he’s recording the activity on strava

no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice.

Inverted slumdog millionaire plot structure where the foreground story is of the main character fucking up over and over again, and the background story is one of that character's ancestors surviving and having descendants because of that presently-maladaptive instinct.

15 psychologists who figured you out before you did : 1. Sigmund Freud — your unconscious is running the show, not you 2. Carl Jung — the parts of you that you hide end up controlling you 3. Abraham Maslow — you cannot find purpose before you find safety 4. Viktor Frankl — suffering becomes bearable the moment it has meaning 5. B.F. Skinner — your behavior is shaped by what follows it not what causes it 6. Albert Bandura — you become what you consistently watch and repeat 7. William James — your habits are literally rewiring your brain every single day 8. Ivan Pavlov — your triggers were trained into you long before you noticed them 9. Erik Erikson — every stage of your life has one question it needs you to answer 10. Alfred Adler — most of what drives you is the need to feel that you matter 11. Karen Horney — anxiety is not weakness, it is what unsafe childhoods produce 12. Leon Festinger — when your beliefs and actions clash, your mind will lie to fix it 13. Daniel Kahneman — you have two minds, the fast one makes most of your mistakes 14. Martin Seligman — happiness is not the absence of pain, it is the presence of meaning 15. Erich Fromm — the greatest human fear is not death, it is the freedom to choose your own life
