"You will often find yourself elected the involuntary confidant of your acquaintances’ secrets: people will instinctively find out, as I have done, that it is not your forte to tell of yourself, but to listen while others talk of themselves; they will feel, too, that you listen with no malevolent scorn of their indiscretion, but with a kind of innate sympathy." — Oct 22, 2026 10:21AM

"Punt kick
A quiet jolt of recognition that it’s time to be a better version of yourself, sensing that all the strategies that you brought this far are no longer working — that it’s not enough to be cute or nice or righteous or tough — as if you’ve now entered a new phase in the game of life, moving forward with a completely different token." — Oct 09, 2026 09:18PM

“Yahweh: You've been unhappy because you've desired things that cannot be.
Lucifer: That's what desire IS. The need for what we can't have. The need for what's readily available is called greed.”

“She was no use at maths homework, and some days you could starve rather than get a hot meal from her, but Shuggie looked at her now and understood this was where she excelled. Everyday with the make-up on and her hair done, she climbed out of her grave and held her head high. When she had disgraced herself with drink, she got up the next day, put on her best coat, and faced the world. When her belly was empty and her weans were hungry, she did her hair and let the world think otherwise.”
