when everything ends, what is there? when everything begins, what ends? we’re pressed between the ground full of fire and the sky full of water. what can we do but breathe? when the world ends, the fool starts over. makes another world to live in. sometimes they make worlds out of people, places, things. those worlds come to an end. make a world out of your imagination, instead. make a world out of your hope, your integrity, your legacy of curiosity. make a world out of the things that never die. defy the confines of mortality. make a world out of love. that’s how you honor your ancestorhood. that’s how you live forever. it’s okay to cry for what you had to give up. and I’m so sorry. it’s okay to rage about the grief, the suffering, the impossibility. it hurts so much to be alive, to love yourself as a discipline. but it hurts even more to fucking live dead inside, to hate yourself with rigor. so be a fool. let the struggle end. accept the confines of reality. defy the confines of reality. start over. mmkay?
