For Myself

Just so these don't get lost down in your tumblr as time passes, and a little encouragement for what is turning out to be a tumultuous year.

“Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.”

— Jim Rohn

“Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves … will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we’re gone and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?”

— Odysseus’s line - Troy (2004)


Chin up, back straight. Be glorious, be amazing, be awesome.
Do fulfilling work and let the other chips fall where they may.

Photo Albums

You rarely notice it, but you're changing quickly.
Look back through those albums. At the people in them, how many are still in your life?
What about the emotions felt during the moment, how many promises did you make that were never kept?
How has your appearance changed? Whatever happened to that favorite jacket of yours?
Or you hair, a laughable style in this day and age.

Photo albums. Chronicles of our lives, or painful reminders of the fallibility of it all?
