Higher education trains your mind to feel good later by making it feel terrible now.
No Darkness, No Diamonds
If life is going well,
don't write.
Know why?
'Cause you can't.
Know why?
'Cause your creativity
is all clogged up
with contentment.
Writing amidst blessings
is bleeding without wounds.
Why even read?
Blow a tin whistle
or talk to your uncle.
It's OK.
Very OK.
