  I was looking for my comment from 7years ago. Living out of my truck. Desperate. I’m here to say I’m now married, have a nice house and a good job that takes me all over the country and soon the world. If you’re reading this and feel stuck, hold on. Cause when right when you’re about to give up, that’s when the universe rewards you. You gotta go thru the fire sometimes to before you can grow. Hang in there. God hasn’t forgotten you my friend.

  “It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days…Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…to throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…”<br><br>– Aldous Huxley, Island<br><br>Man i love this, i love you all

  I need some backround music like this whenever I&apos;m late to work<br>Boss: &quot;Why are you late again?&quot;<br>Me: &quot;When you... seek.... to arrive on time to work, you are already late, therefore must one somehow... endeavour... to attain earliness without planning it&quot;<br><br>Boss: &quot;... you&apos;re fired&quot;

  I&apos;d honestly love to meet everyone else that listens to Alan Watts and meet some beautifully like minded people to just talk for hours on end. Anyone that&apos;s in London &apos;spontaneously&apos; wants to meet up, let me know

  Every thing is just made up. I always use to think that as a child. Then I forgot about it and my life became miserable lol. It took me 6 years of &quot;soul searching&quot; to remember that.

  One of my important moments in life was the time l was at a crosswalk that had the pedestrian signals to tell you when to stop or go. Directly across from me was a young woman who appeared to have down syndrome. No cars were coming, so l started to cross the road, eventhough the signal showed to stop. The young woman said &quot;you&apos;re not suppose to go...STUPID&quot;.<br>That made me laugh. She was right for one thing, but l also saw it as her chance to call someone else &quot;stupid&quot;<br>How many times has someone called her &quot;stupid&quot;? Never will forget.
