Replying to @chandrxn
Find something that exists that inspires you and chip in. If nothing inspires you, start something that would. Find others like this. Repeat until career is done.

There is nothing more powerful than well-informed optimism. It has to be well-informed though. The "everything will be fine" type of optimism may also be somewhat useful, but it's not as useful as the "Hmm, what if we tried x?" kind.

“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.” ― ​Kurt Vonnegut​, Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage

made me remembered again about this (original post by @/mathewsmarz)
Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? They have a life to live, and they're not that concerned with Allen Ginsberg's poems or anybody's poems! Until... Their father dies, they go to a funeral, you lose a child,

somebody breaks your heart, they don't love you anymore. And all of a sudden, you're desperate for making sense out of this life. "Has anybody ever felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud?"

Or the inverse—something great. You meet somebody and your heart explodes! You love them so much you can't even see straight! You know, you're dizzy! "Did anybody feel like this before? What is happening to me?"

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

My friends are the most inspiring people in the world to me… Why would I ever only look to celebrities and public figures when I am surrounded by people with dreams, a good moral compass, cool hobbies, and exquisite taste?
