“In practical terms, a limit-embracing attitude to time means organizing your days with the understanding that you definitely won't have time for everything you want to do, or that other people want you to do -- and so, at the very least, you can stop beating yourself up for failing. Since hard choices are unavoidable, what matters is learning to make them consciously, deciding what to focus on and what to neglect, rather than letting them get made by default... And it means standing firm in the face of FOMO, the "fear of missing out," because you come to realize that missing out on something -- indeed, on almost everything -- is basically guaranteed. Which isn't actually a problem anyway, it turns out, because "missing out" is what makes our choices meaningful in the first place.”

“You and everyone you know are going to be dead soon. And in the short amount of time between here and there, you have a limited amount of fucks to give. Very few, in fact. And if you go around giving a fuck about everything and everyone without conscious thought or choice—well, then you’re going to get fucked.”

“That is the problem with ignorance. You can never truly know the extent of what you are ignorant about.”
