When They Come with a Knife: Will You Yield or Stand Your Ground?
Stand Your Ground, Love Yourself
When someone comes to hurt you with a knife, they'll only bring one. Giving in and showing forbearance will only bring you more harm. When you've accumulated enough disappointment, you'll no longer have hope.
If you can't keep something, learn to let it go. What belongs to you should be actively fought for; what doesn't belong to you should be decisively given up. The one who hurts you never wants to help you.
What truly makes you grow are pain and reflection. The experience itself holds no special meaning; what makes it meaningful is your strength. Your kindness must have a sharp edge.
Remember this message: Love yourself.
May you be strong and brave on the road of life.
Thank you for reading!

Is Life a Journey of Subtraction or Expansion?
Life is a process of subtraction, urging us to seize every moment. Don't wait, and don't accumulate regrets. It's not that young hearts can't retain their youthful spirit, but rather that the passage of years can evoke a sense of panic.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Powerful words. Sometimes the kindest thing we can do for ourselves is to stop enduring and start protecting. Thank you for this reminder to love with boundaries
