An inside look into my brain.
Across planes of consciousness, we have to live with the paradox that opposite things can be simultaneously true.

Every creative act is open war against The Way It Is.
What you are saying when you make something is that the universe is not sufficient, and what it really needs is more you.
And it does, actually; it does.
Go look outside. You can’t tell me that we are done making the world.

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.
Lawrence M. Krauss
We are born and we die. No one cares, no one remembers, and it doesn’t matter. This is why we laugh.
the Gnoll Credo
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

asks:
If your only options were to get pregnant with your fathers baby, or be in a lesbian relationship with your mom, what would you choose?
Neither.

Edit: For the record I am male so I couldn’t choose either of these.
Take things one step at a time and stop misleading yourself that the past is a mirror of the future.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
Albert Einstein
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Mae West
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

If you can approach the world’s complexities, both its glories and its horrors, with an attitude of humble curiosity, acknowledging that however deeply you have seen, you have only scratched the surface, you will find worlds within worlds, beauties you could not heretofore imagine, and your own mundane preoccupations will shrink to proper size, not all that important in the greater scheme of things.
