Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates:
Is it true?
Is it necessary?
Is it kind?

Every lithium battery in existence needs coal in order to be recharged and 75% of the world‘s cobalt comes from the Congo. It being mined by men, women, and children with the equivalent of a fork, in sandals, with no face mask, in mines with no ventilation, not sustainable for humans to enter and often collapse on them, for a dollar a day.
Women who choose their partners while on birth control have reported decreased attraction in their partner once stopping the hormonal birth control leading to divorce.
Sleeping for less than six hours a night is the same as driving on two beers.

“There is a deep desire in everyone to commit suicide for the simple reason, that life seems to be meaningless. People go on living, not because they love life, they go on living just because they are afraid to commit suicide. There is a desire to; and in many ways they do commit suicide. Monks and nuns have committed psychological suicide, they have renounced life. And these suicidal people have dominated humanity for centuries. They have condemned everything that is beautiful. They have praised something imaginary and they have condemned the real; the real is mundane and the imaginary is sacred. My whole effort here is to help you see that the real is sacred, that this very world is sacred, that this very life is divine. But the way to see it is first to enquire within. Unless you start feeling the source of light within yourself, you will not be able to see that light anywhere else. First it has to be experienced within one’s own being, then it is found everywhere. Then the whole existence becomes so full of light, so full of joy, so full of meaning and poetry, that each moment one feels grateful for all that god has given, for all that he goes on giving. Sannyas is simply a decision to turn in, to look in. The most primary thing is to find your own center. Once it is found, once you are centered, once you are bathed in your own light you have a different vision, a different perspective, and the whole of life becomes golden. Then even dust is divine. Then life is so rich, so abundantly rich that one can only feel a tremendous gratitude towards existence. That gratitude becomes prayer. Before that, all prayer is false.”

“I am an overly emotional, unemotional, clingy but distant, private person who likes to overshare at any moment and I am still trying to figure out how that works”
Basically, consciousness is separate from our bodies, but it does need a body in order to express itself. If consciousness is something that is separate from the physical, and can survive without it, then already it proves that we exist after death.
“I can’t handle this,” he told her. But something in his expression screamed: “I can’t handle you.” And she thought then, that perhaps all relationships were just a case of who gave up first. And her pride couldn’t decide which was worse: giving up when you had promised them not to, or waking up to find that they had given up on you.””
"Science looks at the world concretely and asks: what is it? What does it do? What can I do with it.
Philosophers ask different questions that are not about things, but about reasoning and valuing. Why is there anything instead of nothing? What does life mean? What is the nature of the good? And so on and so forth. These questions are for most of us much more important yet they do not yield to "experiments in the laboratory." -Bette Manter
"Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."

Sometimes you just have to be done. Not mad, not upset.
Just done.

Want to know what is truly blocking love, success, etc?
Observe your reactions when you are hurt, angry, annoyed, frustrated. It usually is better observed around family. This will give you an insight to what you are carrying energetically. Are you withdrawn, vengeful, manipulative, apathetic when you are hurt? Can you change your state easily or do you need something or someone outside of you? Are you willing to apologize? All your old patterning and energies lay here and it is an opportunity for you to become aware or these and respond from a place of empathy, compassion and love. This is re wire your brain and change your bio- chemistry.em/ pathy noun
the ability to step into the shoes of another person, aiming to understand their feelings and perspectives, and to use that understanding to guide our actions
1. Be impeccable with your word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what
you mean. Avoid using the Word to
speak against yourself or to gossip
about others. Use the power of your
Word in the direction of truth and
Love.
2. Don't take anything personally.
Nothing others do is because of you.
What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality,
Their own dream. When u are
immune to the opinion and actions
Of others, you won't be the victim
of needless suffering.
3. Don't make assumptions.
Find the courage to ask questions
and to express what u really want.
Communicate with others as clearly
as u can to avoid misunderstanding,
sadness and drama. With just this
one agreement you can completely
transform your life.
4. Always do your best.
Your best is going to change from
moment to moment; it will be
different when u are healthy as
opposed to sick. Under any
circumstance, simply do your best,
and u will avoid self judgement, self
abuse and regret.

Christopher Columbus Day-
There are plenty of other reasons we can have a day off of school and or work, but to celebrate this country’s racist, enslaving, thieving, genocidal, and rape-filled history goes against everything that we have been trying to change. It is so sad that the most humanity can do now days is “pray” when a terrorist shoots at group of 20,000 innocent humans. It is so sad that all humanity can do is create memes about our president rather than trying to make a authentic attempt at impeaching him. And it is so sad that 600 years later, humanity continues to celebrate the American Indian Holocaust that killed more human beings than any genocide in history, We don't celebrate the Jewish Holocaust, why do we celebrate this one?
Most of the time, your first love isn't the first person you give your heart to- it's the first one who breaks it."

Somewhere between what she survived, and who she was becoming, was exactly where she was meant to be. She was starting to love the journey. And find the comfort in the quiet corners of her wildest dreams. They say people don't change... well, she wasn't always this way. Even if she didn't change the entire world, she would change her part of it. And she would affect the people she shared it with. A butterfly whose wings have been touched, can indeed still fly. Whether something was meant to be, or meant to leave, didn't matter as much anymore. She would soak up the sun, kiss the breeze and she would fly regardless.

10 PAINFUL TRUTHS
The average human life is relatively short
You will only ever live the life you create for yourself
Being busy does not mean being productive
Some kind of failure always occurs before success
Thinking and doing are two very different things
You don't have to wait for an apology to forgive
Some people are simply the wrong match for you
It is not other people's job to love you, it is yours.
What you own is not who you are
Everything changes, every second.
