By the way, did you catch that quote I put at the beginning from Saint Augustine? Of Hippo? Think about that. This guy trained hippos so good back in the day that they made him a saint! Or something. I’m pretty sure that’s right.
“The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.”
that it means if you don’t have your shit together, it’s that very lack of togetherness that becomes your sentence to pain and suffering.
To be asleep in your day-to-day means to be living it without awareness.
every bottom is different for every person.
Flatlining, whether you want to take that literally or metaphorically, might be just what we all need to snap out of the trance of our own bullshit and wake the fuck up. You think it’s a coincidence those heart monitors make that sound? Beeeeep. Goddamn, it’s annoying. That’s meant to wake you up.
I’m standing here with a burden of responsibility on my shoulders. And I can promise you that you’ve got monsters in your life. There just might be some you feed more than others. Some that control you more than others. And some that are sneaky, hiding in the background, whispering dumb bullshit in your ear that you listen to.
Look, don’t worry about it. Besides, don’t forget who I am. I’m Kevin Hart—I’ve got The Rock on speed dial. That man might not be able to put together a sentence, but he also happens to be one of the only people alive who was born free of all monsters, because monsters live in people’s brains.
It’s genius. ’Cause you can’t fail if you never try in the first place.
