Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to the attainment of human purposes?

Joseph Campbell
I wear my heart on my sleeve. If I’m unhappy you can tell. I stop yoga, I can’t be bothered to dress nicely, I eat crap, I sleep too much and talk too little.
On the flip side, when I’m happy, I buzz with energy and have a seemingly unlimited supply. This can get on peoples nerves but it allows me to keep going at the pace I like.
I get told to slow down a lot, be calmer, keep it steadier… But that’s not at all me.
I love the rhythm I have and all it allows me to achieve with my time. I have a lot to say for myself and don’t want to be quieter or take a more gentle approach. It might all go wrong at some point but you know what? I’ll deal with that as and when.
The definition of thriving is this:
to grow or develop well or vigorously; to prosper; to flourish
Doesn’t that sound amazing? Why would you not want that? It literally took me years to figure out that sitting quietly in the corner got me absolutely nowhere. And it was pretty boring.
What’s the point if you don’t strive to give everything your all?

My ladies - 10 years on and better than ever.
To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness
