keep a running list of all the ways life delights you and helps you and energizes you. Describe everyday miracles you take for granted … the uncanny powers you possess … the small joys that occur so routinely you forget how much they mean to you … the steady flow of benefits bestowed on you by people you know and don’t know. What works for you? What makes you feel at home in the world?
“Many people need desperately to receive this message:
I feel and think as much as you do,
care about many of the things you care about, although most people don’t care about them.
You are not alone.”
-Vonnegut

ever thine
ever mine
ever ours-Beethoven

somedays aren’t yours at all,
they come and go as if they’re someone else’s days
…
I’ve gone away, don’t call me
don’t write
You are a potential genius. Maybe not in the same way that Einstein and Beethoven were, but still: You possess some exceptional capacity that is absolutely unique. You’re a masterpiece unlike any other that has lived in the history of the world.
