Kindle Notes & Highlights
The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder. —Saint Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
if you don’t have your shit together, it’s that very lack of togetherness that becomes your sentence to pain and suffering.
Any form of control, at the end of the day, is really just protection. And you get protective because you’re afraid of something bad happening. And the reason you’re afraid of something bad happening again is because you don’t trust yourself or others to handle a situation.
The more you chase comfort, the more unhappy you become. Because happiness isn’t about being comfortable; it’s about growing and improving. And by nature, growing is not comfortable.
