Things I have come to accept...

- people will not fight for you; in fact, they will rarely even fight for themselves
- being alone, especially romantically (because I do believe that compared to some other options it is the best choice in the world)
- maybe "more" isn't always (or ever) possible...and maybe that's okay.
- I can only control myself. (and not even that most days)
- money will always be important
- simple is better whenever it is an option
- others' flaws (I live in a basement after all, who am I to judge?)
- it really is just about finding the lesser of the evils, finding the things in life that make you feel alright as much as possible

Things are shitty. All around. No amount of optimism or peppy saying will change that. There are only MOMENTS of good. So, why not just live in the basement and do what you love? Life's hard enough. Why not be alone and stop fighting to make the world and the people in it live up to all of its unused potential? It's not my job. All I need to do is convert oxygen into carbon dioxide and at the end of the day if that has been accomplished than who am I to complain?

Seriously. Just breathe.
