 “Here’s a question for you guys. Um… Is it… is it necessary? Is it necessary that every single person on this planet um, expresses every single opinion that they have on every single thing that occurs all at the same time? Is that… is that necessary?

Um… Or to ask in a slightly different way, um, can… can anyone shut the fuck up? Can… can anyone, any… any… any one, any single one, can any one… shut the fuck up about anything– About any… any single thing? Can any single person shut the fuck up about any singlе thing for an hour? You know, is that… is that possible?

And I know you’re thinking, ‘You’re not shutting thе fuck up right now,’ and that’s true, but…”

-Bo Burnham

 I bought an Ipad Pro and I love it so far.

A dream. I've been dreaming in oceans lately. Large bodies of water... massive bodies of water. Shorelines that are larger, longer, bluer, shimmering, and more pristine and encompassing than possible in the waking world.

Be like the sun for grace and mercy.

Be like the night to cover others' faults.

Be like running water for generosity.

Be like death for rage and anger.

Be like the Earth for modesty.

Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

Rumi
