“the philosophical cure
to anxiety
is not optimism
but rather pessimism.

optimism says
“the world is beautiful
and there’s no reason to be sad.”

pessimism says
“look at all these countries
waging wars
let’s go get some ice cream
and just listen to some sad records.”
― Juansen Dizon, I Am The Architect of My Own Destruction

“No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.”
― Viktor Emil Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“these rivers run like they are
trying to find somewhere else
to call home.

maybe i'm just trying to do the same.”
― Wilder Poetry, Nocturnal

“That’s how we stay young nowadays:

Chasing down bottles
of pills, jumping off bridges,
slicing up our bodies and an idealized
vision of being skinny enough.”
― Juansen Dizon, I Am The Architect of My Own Destruction
