Leave expectations out of your thinking. It leads to pain. Instead, just be ready for anything you weren’t counting on.
The only truly real person you know is yourself. Everyone else shows only what they want you to see. Bank on that.
Try, think, emotional control, fear, rationalize, give, understand, hurt, balance, intensity, release.
Born: where am I. Growing; this is what I do. Coming of age: is that what I should be doing? Adulting: I don’t like what I’m doing. Close to death: where am I?
