Our rational nature moves freely forward in its impressions when it: 1. Accepts nothing false or uncertain; 2. Directs its impulses only to acts for the common good; 3.

Embraces everything natures assigns to it. – From Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations Here’s my review of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations (and…
This is some of the cool shit that crows can do.
What are the songs that make you instantly feel relaxed and chilled as fuck? The songs that after a week of work, you put on and instantly feel like you just nailed the week? The ones that take you away to the beach in your mind, that place where you feel connected to who you truly are, and all that’s…

And not only that, if people still stick around after what you’ve told them, maybe they are…

I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone The thing that truly connects us…
If you’ve had shitty things happen in your past, can you ever truly move on from them if you don’t first embrace the hurt, acknowledge what happened and truly face up to it? Does trying to forget about how someone fucked us over, how we got screwed or the mistakes we made just make them happen again, or perhaps even…
