its ok to be happy

its ok to live your life exactly the way you want it.
its ok to never get a job.

its ok to dedicate you life to finding who you are.

it is yours.
do what ever you want with it.

life isn't a movie.
enter into a total strike.

you're not crazy.

work hard even when it is hard.

this doesn't mean that it will all be easy... no it will be really hard.

some day yer gonna die.
"yer wishing away the only thing you've got, your life"

i regret actions undone more than actions done.

i am not going to die with any life still in me, i am going to use it all up.

timidity is destroying the planet.

every hour you spend doing a job you don't like is an hour you could spend making love.

what is it that would cause you to wake up every morning and say, "god i'm so glad to be living this life"

our task is to remember our gifts.
this is a good life. a really good life.
service to something greater than yourself is far more likely to led to a satisfying life.

what are the largest and most pressing problems that i can help solve using the gifts bestowed upon me by the universe?

don't be such a wimp, ask the other person out.

(quotes from derrick jenson? guest speaker at graduation.)
( i am in the right place.)

i'm sorry you are so sad. i realize that though i may have pain and sadness... i will never understand your positionality ... and i will never be able to function like you. i see life and energy and love pulsing through EVERYTHING around me... i honor that.
and i will honor this greater energy how ever i can... i will never be able to sit back. i will never be able to say, "but it hurts too much"... or "i can always kill myself"... i would rather bear the brunt of pain for the whole world than have to be in my after-life knowing that i choose to do NOTHING. i had that choice. i had that moment to honor myself and the entirety of existence, and i chose to do nothing...

if that's the route you want to take, why live at all?
if you are just waiting for "it" to get too painful... for "it" to get to a point where you will choose to kill yourself rather than try to fight... why do you choose to remain on this plane at all?

its fine to choose not to follow the course that's been laid out for you by this culture, your bio-parents, political fanatics, religious fanatics, dancers, cornish, teachers, people trying to talk to you on the street... etc... but you can't choose to NOT HAVE A PATH. if you reject the paths that have been handed to you, but are too tired or too afraid to forge one for yourself, you are dead already.
