The great Russian writer and philosopher Fyodor Dostoevsky once wrote to his beloved Maria:
"On the street where you live, there are nine women more beautiful than you, seven women taller than you, nine women shorter than you, and one woman who claims to love me more than you do. At work, a woman smiles at me every day, another tries to lure me into conversation, and the waitress at the restaurant sweetens my tea with honey instead of sugar… but still, I love you."
And after marriage, Maria proved to be a devoted wife. She endured his illness, poverty, long journeys, and absences, standing by his side through every hardship. When she lay on her deathbed, Dostoevsky whispered to her:
"Even in my thoughts, I have never betrayed you."

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, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
So 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,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered. ~Aldous Huxley 0 reply

“Whatever happens, stay alive.
Don't die before you're dead.
Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't loose direction. Stay alive, with yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin.
Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.
Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive also outside, fill yourself with colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope.
Stay alive with joy.
There is only one thing you should not waste in life,
and that's life itself... “🦋🌻💗
