One of the more humbling parts of walking is passing multiple homes and realizing each door is a portal to an infinite world you know nothing about.

@Aderaido Seriously, that is one of my dream careers: helping people ship packages and letters, I find it so magical

If the post office didn’t have such oppressive lighting I think it might be a nice place to work

I never ever want to go viral again - I hate being sick

@once_darkness um, I *need* this!

So I think my mom officially found the coolest light switch cover ever 🤩

@bookgrace11 I feel this deep in my bones lol

need to start my villain era (not saying sorry for every little thing).

Yesterday I called Dylan, "Help, what is that one quote about taking care of now for future generations??" And without missing a beat he says, "Roger Scruton," and pulls up this quote:

It's impossible to know what you've written unless you read it aloud

@DylanoA4 I know those Secret Lives of Mormon Wives recaps are slowly destroying my brain cells... I know...

There’s something about a soulless job that makes you crave mindless entertainment, and that’s the combination that slowly kills you

“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” – Gustav Mahler

“Dostoevsky said once, "There is only one thing I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings." These words frequently came to my mind after I became acquainted with those martyrs whose behavior in camp, whose suffering and death, bore witness to the fact that the last inner freedom cannot be lost. It can be said that they were worthy of the their sufferings; the way they bore their suffering was a genuine inner achievement. It is this spiritual freedom—which cannot be taken away—that makes life meaningful and purposeful.” ― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

“Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.” ― John Locke

the light in your eyes grows in accordance to your depth of service to others

A humble heart is heavens true habitation.

@joynessthebrave I think it's social media and the meme-i-fication of reactions/feelings. Severe lack of empathy and everyone assumes the worst in others. Idk, I am so saddened and exhausted by it as well.

I think people are becoming more rude. It’s exhausting. What’s the deal with that? Why is that happening??

Always look at your own sins, and do not judge another’s

The constant pumping of music into every public space, every idle second of sport, every supermarket and café, speaks to an underlying sickness, a kind of cultural mental illness. As a society we are allergic to silence, terrified of spending even one second with our own thoughts

“We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.” - Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

"I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach... At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me." - C.S. Lewis, "A Grief Observed"

A person with genuine faith has an internal center of gravity. Their convictions are not merely borrowed from an external authority or ideology. Because of that, they can encounter complexity, contradiction, or ambiguity without losing their footing. Their belief produces qualities like patience, mercy, and steadiness, because it isn’t constantly under threat. Fanaticism works the opposite way. The person’s certainty is actually fragile, so it must be defended constantly. That is why fanatics often rely on rigid formulas, slogans, or ideological checklists. Anything that doesn’t fit the framework feels like an existential threat, which leads to anxiety, anger, and cruelty toward dissenters.
