A Good Life
I’d like to keep my family together and raise my boys into adults who are “publicly useful and privately happy.” Anything else is gravy.
Beautiful from Austin Kleon, when asked what is his hope for himself.
We do not live by our memory; we make use of it to live. Record only what can help you to conceive or to execute, which can be assimilated into your soul, correspond to your objectives, vivify your inspiration, and bolster your work. As for the rest, consign it to oblivion.

“As I go about my day, folding laundry, or thinking through what needs to be done, my clutter reminds me of the people who have filled my life and, now, my apartment.”
I was supposed to be the example. I was supposed to be the good influence. It was only a matter of time until there was a division between “I should do this” and “I want to do that.” In my youth, there is the universal idea that my enjoyment always comes at the cost of someone else’s despair. How can you rest when your neighbor is working?
