Skateboarding and Me
When you skate, you’re not a victim. You’re the conqueror: of an obstacle, of the board, of your fears.

I’m not a very good skater. I can’t kickflip yet and I still get psyched out by drop-ins. But fakie shove-its feel soooo good and when I ollie over a crack, it feels like I’m flying. I suck, but unlike P.E. and tae kwon do class, I don’t feel shitty about it.

"Gosh, this book holds such a special place in my heart now. It's a coming of age story about self discovery and finding (or making) your own place in the world. The complexities of the characters and their relationships with their parents, academics,"

Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
― The Picture of Dorian Gray
“I actually attack the concept of happiness. The idea that - I don’t mind people being happy - but the idea that everything we do is part of the pursuit of happiness seems to me a really dangerous idea and has led to a contemporary disease in Western society, which is fear of sadness. It’s a really odd thing that we’re now seeing people saying “write down 3 things that made you happy today before you go to sleep”, and “cheer up” and “happiness is our birthright” and so on. We’re kind of teaching our kids that happiness is the default position - it’s rubbish. Wholeness is what we ought to be striving for and part of that is sadness, disappointment, frustration, failure; all of those things which make us who we are. Happiness and victory and fulfillment are nice little things that also happen to us, but they don’t teach us much. Everyone says we grow through pain and then as soon as they experience pain they say “Quick! Move on! Cheer up!” I’d like just for a year to have a moratorium on the word “happiness” and to replace it with the word “wholeness”. Ask yourself “is this contributing to my wholeness?” and if you’re having a bad day, it is.”
