We must stop looking at education as a product – in which we turn out every student giving the same answer – to a process, in which every student looks for new answers. Life is a beta.

Your job isn’t to make someone love you, but love yourself and allow someone too as well!

This is why I hate those “What men think” / “What women think” how-to books. The problem isn’t figuring someone else out; it’s knowing yourself better and allowing someone else to get close. Getting inside someone else’s head is impossible, and trying to do so is frustrating and futile. Knowing what you want out of a relationship is the only thing worth worrying about because it’s the only thing you can control.

Is there a gap between what you’re CAPABLE of doing/being and what you’re ACTUALLY doing/being? If so, watch out. That’s where regret/anxiety/disillusionment hang out.

Close the gap and there’s no room for that madness.

Actually do what you’re capable of doing? Enter bliss.
