things i already knew

but have not made my own

ah-ha moments that have yet to transform my life

“bitterness is a poison you drink hoping it will kill another” cs lewis

the paradox of letting go, giving up yourself, to gain what you want

recognizing my own voice in representing the voice of others

understanding my audience

passion: ety. suffering

what am i willing to suffer through

what has my suffering led me to

romance: ety. tragedy

not running away from my potential

taking risks

“Observe the herd which is grazing beside you. It does not know what yesterday or today is. It springs around, eats, rests, digests, jumps up again, and so from morning to night and from day to day, with its likes and dislikes closely tied to the peg of the moment, and thus is neither melancholy nor weary. To witness this is difficult for man, because he boasts to himself that his human condition is better than the beast’s and yet looks with jealousy at its happiness. For he wishes only to live like the beast, neither weary with things nor in pain, and yet he wants it in vain, because he does not desire it as the animal does.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Use and Abuse of History for Life (via c-ovet)

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”

- John 3: 13-18

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 03:16:00 -0400

rocky braat and his children are some of the most beautiful spirits i’ve ever encountered in my life… “i was always beautiful” is a book of rocky’s journal entries and photographs of his beloved friends. all of the proceeds will go to supporting rocky in his work at the AIDS orphanage.

i learned of rock’s story via the documentary film “blood brother.” it’s a must-see for all those with a soul. which means everyone.

theburnthatkeepseverything: Secret cinema found beneath...

theburnthatkeepseverything:

Secret cinema found beneath Paris.

In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs under Paris. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.

When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and there was a note on the floor: “Do not try to find us.” (via)

mo, kurt cobain?

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:19:00 -0400

last night, i woke myself up sleep-talking. “mo? mo?” (what? what?) was what i was just saying in my dream. i had never caught myself in the act of doing that before. and i rarely remember any of my dreams. but this one—oh my god—i remembered so vividly because i had just been living in it. i hated that i woke up from it… and that i couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how hard i tried. it was beautiful. the night had fallen and i was tucked so nicely in bed (just like i was in real life—and i wasn’t cold) listening to a guy next to me, this kurt cobain-look-alike (such a pretty, kind face), play his guitar. his bed was right across from mine. i remember thinking, “wow it’s surprising that mom let me share my room with this guy…” because i was still home. ?? lights were off, but i could still see him through the moon light coming in through the window. he did this cheesy guitar move, where you play it from behind the back… but it didn’t look or sound cheesy to me. the song he played on the guitar was actually heart wrenching. ?? i remember feeling so happy in that moment. to be hearing such good live music in bed. and wished that he would never stop being my roommate. once the song was over, he got ready for bed. it was like one of those moments during sleepover, where it’s definitely time for bed, but nobody really wants to go to sleep. i guess he didn’t either. he started talking to me in the dark, but i couldn’t understand anything he was saying.

“mo?” why i asked him in korean is beyond me.

i did listen to erbarme dich before bed that night, which might explain a lot of ??s.
