(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don’t, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that’s not true. it’s the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

You shouldn’t be mean to people.” That’s the shit they used to get mad at me on the playground for.
They teach you this shit on carebears man. They teach you this shit on the smurfs.
