“To be chalant is to care. It is to care so much, so fiercely, and so recklessly that it makes you look like a goddamn fool. And let’s be honest, nobody wants to look like a fool anymore. That’s the root of this whole 'nonchalant' sickness. It is pure, unadulterated fear.”

“You are eating the leftovers of your own life.”

"Nostalgia isn't a warm feeling; it’s a parasite.

It convinces you that the meal you had ten years ago was better than the one in front of you right now. It wasn't.
Your brain edits out the bad parts, the boredom, the awkward silence, and the pain, and leaves you with a 'highlight reel' that never existed.
You are starving yourself in the present to feast on a memory. And let me tell you, that memory has gone bad. Stop reheating the past.
It tastes like ash. Cook something new, or get the fuck out of the kitchen.”
