I honestly thing the side-effect is that now people don't register the shame they feel for shit they actually should be fucking ashamed of

We have been conditioned to default to a moderate amount of shame in all things.

Everyone draws animals looking super cute and yet all the worthwhile ones look perpetually bored/angry.

Every shirt I own is missing the whole right shoulder blade from how often I pat myself on the back

We have been rewired to mistake the adrenaline rush of feeling under siege and fighting back for the bliss of standing in the sun with people we feel a truly close connection to.

It's a problem we all see, and we all pretend to be hopeless to change.

I'm sorry to hear that, but if you reached 'sky high' and still did that well then don't let this result get you too down.

It's frustrating and disappointing, without doubt, but if you find confidence after the dust settles it will strengthen your chances in the future.

You are fighting for nothing more than the idea that you should have more time to let your convictions dissolve.

We are all cowards, and we are all being led by wolves. Some are just more ravenous than others.

We will happily sacrifice slowly, even as we pretend to stand against the storm.

All starburst are valid
