“Living is a form of not being sure. Not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.”
- Agnes Demile

This site made me feel a whole lot better about myself. I’m sure it’ll make other’s feel good too. =)

This came up from a Twitter discussion I had where I commented that I think laziness is a myth. I think people that describe themselves as lazy are often feeling defeat/frustration, and this is something to address and try to resolve, not to judge. This person tweeted me with a link to her own thoughts about it - that we bill ourselves as lazy for actually doing what we WANT to do, even though that usually ends up making our lives better in some way.
On Day 3 of the #talkersblock challenge I wrote a post called Who Listens to the Listener? People were kind enough to share it and post comments on Facebook. One comment which really touched me went something like this:
Sometimes no one listens to the Listener, and we just have to accept it.
I’m not ashamed to admit that this brought tears to my eyes. What affected me was the sense of resignation; in this statement I hear a person who does a lot of listening, and who is resigned to not having anyone to listen to them.
