Every bit of moral or financial advice given to us by our parents or even grandparents means absolutely nothing in a world that's become so expensive and nonsensical that they'd have called you crazy for predicting it.

If you're openly inviting or caring towards a person who begrudges you the same, then you're not being kind to another person as much as deprecating the value one's self.

I have always been a lamp person. I can not stand sitting in bright lights as if I were in some kind of sports stadium or hospital wing. Comfort is a homely feeling that offers one a sense of permanence as opposed to feeling as though you're just passing through.
