“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” — Anaïs Nin

I am seized by two contradictory feelings: there is so much beauty in the world it is incredible that we are ever miserable for a moment; there is so much shit in the world that it is incredible we are ever happy for a moment.

I am not telling you to make the world better. I’m just telling you to live in it.

Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.
To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment.

 Joan Didion
