“I must have seen the separation coming for weeks, but simply chose not to acknowledge it. However, there was no indifference. Just pure, fraught alienation. My idea is to live virtually unafraid. We're never told of forces equally unabashed. It's a concoction for thrills, sure, but it's also a formula for heartbreak. The kind of heartbreak that congeals around the flesh; slows a person down to the freezing point, and cheats them of the most significant civilities left in this world.”

“You’re better looking than me. You’re more intelligent than me. Your personality is more likable than mine. You make more money than me. Your family is nicer than mine. Your religion is better than mine. You’ve seen more beaches than me. You’ve been to more cities than me. Your automobile is nicer than mine. Your significant other is better looking than mine. Your candidate won. Your home team won. You’re number one. But life is a tie. We all die.”

“I’ve seen too many people get dragged into false realities. People get confused about what’s good, what’s comfortable, and what the future for themselves should look like. And all that confusion ends when you’re able to make the distinction between what’s Holy, and what’s just full of holes.”

“Beware the man who weeps with ease—
his tears are not weakness, but wildfire.
He loves fiercely, is fractured deeply,
and in his passion lies both creation and ruin”

“It’s always bothered me how far people will go just to avoid silence. Gossip, drama, empty noise. Chasing status, praise—even worship. All to drown out the quiet. But what few realize is that the silence within us screams the loudest whenever we begin to live a life totally untrue to ourselves. Because in a world built on illusions, silence is the only thing that isn’t a lie.”

“There are no rights etched into the fabric of the universe—only permissions carved from the will of the few in power. What we call ‘human rights’ are often fleeting moments made fragile by the weight of a stronger, more potent force. This is the brutal calculus of the world: freedom exists only where strength allows it, and truth is often the wall we have to face. And it’s often the one that ultimately divides us.”

“You’re sick because you put comfort before duty. Safety, familiarity, and routine—they're illusions. True comfort is earned. It comes from hard work—the kind that lets you rest with pride, knowing you gave your best, did the right thing, and did it well. Now sit. Relax. You earned it.”

“Human beings are often so rattled by their own very existence and simplistic consciousness of the world that any act so far outside of their realm of possibility will either delight them into worship, or disgust them into burning you down completely — socially, psychically, and in rarer instances, physically.”

“Do not despair if the best parts of your life are but a light in the cold, or warmth in the dark. What may seem insignificant is never without meaning. Even the faintest glow defies the void—and that very defiance is enough to carry us forward.”

“My crusade is not always to save others, but to mend the fractures in reality itself. If I can build a ground beneath their feet—a home they can return to when their grand illusions shatter—then I have done my part. And sometimes, I am the one who casts the stones.”

“Outsider artists like Poe, Van Gogh, and Kafka had so much to say—yet no one to say it to. Their voices were soft, uncertain, lost in the noise of their own era. Only now are they truly heard—at last, and loud, and with a clarity that shakes the very ground beneath us. Not just posthumously, but long after their generations have vanished into dust. Their deaths were not only personal losses, but warnings—so stark and so human, they’ve placed the entire species on the endangered list.”

“Our only true identity is that of a steward. Everything else is a costume. The more ornate the mask, the more fragmented the soul beneath it. To save the world, don’t protect your ego—plant something. Heal something. Love something. Serve something. Or be still. The garden is waiting.”

“Most people live in pursuit of their self-interest, forgetting that the self they serve today may not be the one they must live with tomorrow. We are so eager to satisfy our desires that we neglect the soul that must bear their consequences. In chasing what pleases us, we abandon what completes us. Self-interest is loud; best interest is quiet—and so few have the patience to listen.”
