If the world gets darker and dumber, and your response is to match it, to curse at it, to become obsessed with how right you are about how bad it is, then you're an idiot

Goodness used to be the standard, the minimum. a man who kept his word, who showed up, who carried what was his without complaining, that was a man. now the bar is so damn low

God gives and God removes. the man breadcrumbed by comfort forgot him. you will not be spared what has been visited upon every generation before you. the man who forgets this builds on sand, the man who remembers walks through famine. keep your hands rough, your belly small, your life cheap. keep your cupboard stocked, your soul ready to eat dust. so that when the locusts come for the fields, currency, you will stand.

Once you go bitter, you start losing on purpose and telling yourself its destiny. you stop showing up to the things that challenge you, because if you won, you would have to admit the world was not against you this whole time. you become a man feeding a parasite his own future, because the future might be beautiful, and beauty would kill the story he has been telling himself

You should never tell a pregnant woman to toughen up or not be so sensitive. her sensitivity is the child listening through her. any woman carrying a life should be surrounded by beautiful things. she is not only living for herself, she is stocking the shelves of a new human soul with whatever is within reach

I spent years in the wrong fight, wondering why God forsaken me. i was too proud to go where he sent me. i wanted someone elses field, someone elses crown, and i got destroyed for it. a strong fish on a mountain is a dead fish. thats a failure of obedience
