"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms



"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

How To Keep Going by Caitlyn Siehl

(Internet Sourced & Edited)

Make sure you own a nice bed.
Sleep in it frequently.
Remember how nice it feels to flip over your pillow to the cooler side.

Check your pulse and hum along to the rhythm because it is music.


Write clear and make a lot of spelling errors. Get the poison out and don’t worry about it being neat.

If you can, do not shut people out. You will have good days and they should see them.


If you feel overwhelmed, go outside and scream. Find a nice empty park in the middle of the 
night and scream as loud as you can until your throat is bleeding. The world wants to hear you.


Let yourself fall in love. Believe it or not, there are people out there who want your blacks 
and blues.


Keep waking up.



Keep waking up.



Keep waking up. Maybe with someone next to you.
