“If you feel exhausted after being with a group of people then maybe you are meant to be with one person at a time. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who truly listens when a person is broken, hopeless, and needs a little bit of kindness in their life. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who likes talking about philosophy, aliens or the meaning of the universe at 3 am, and there’s a person out there who likes having those conversations too. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who naturally cultivates a person’s belief when you gently remind them that their own ideas for the betterment of their life are not crazy but are beautiful, wonderful, and amazing. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who helps people leave this world much better than they once found it, and that in itself is a remarkable way to exist.”
— Juansen Dizon, The Counselor

“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.”

I think too deeply about everything. I still don't know if that allows me to see more of the world, or less of it.
