I live with what I've done, who I've loved, and the future my past creates.
MARK F. TWIGHT
Reject what didn’t work for you and move on. You don’t need an adversary. You don’t need to be angry that something no longer serves you. You just need to change. Or, in the words of a dear friend, you shouldn’t “give a shit about people who don’t give a shit.”

Sometimes it is best to sit still. To observe. To rewire shorted circuits that drained the battery. To cut the knot instead of untying it, to give the rope a new end. And to let thirst build. To wait patiently until hunger becomes a scream. Until anger makes a fist, or joy does the same.
One simplistic concept surfaces over and over: work on your weaknesses. We all know this is a truth but to work or change we must first recognize and accept that some parts are weak, and some are strong.
Word
The recipe is simple: it requires ruthless self-awareness, an empty cup, a sharp knife turned inward, the commitment to cut deeply, and enough love to do so carefully.
Now face the mirror, see through what it sees, and cut through the restraints — you'll know where to find them: you tied those knots yourself.
