What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!

But there’s no “coming out the other side with bad governance, chronic illnesses, ignorance… There’s just gritting your teeth and white-knuckling through it. #EndBadGovernance — Sometimes I get really sick of the “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger“ trope. Sure, I’m strong as heck because of what I’ve been through, but that doesn’t mean I’d go through it again. We are strong when we have to be, but we shouldn’t have to be strong all the time.

Anything in Nothing?

The search for the unfound in the unknown. — What is so much? So much that means little. What is so little? So little that means more. So much that means little, So little that means more. In the end, everything revolves around something. Something is often seen as anything. And anything means nothing, that at least we’ve all…

Tread kindly! nobody gave us a heads up!

Seems like most of what we lookup for does nothing else than make us long for more or even want to escape back to the past. Responsibility is hard! Adulthood comes with a lot of it, Yet, nobody gave us a heads up as a child. Nobody told us adulting…
