Live Your Life for You
“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep alone under the stars. Learn how to drive stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no whenever you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be like or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important that finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.”
–Eve Ensler (Author of The Vagina Monologues and founder of V-Day)

Idleness is Not Just a Vacation
“Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration — it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.”
- Tim Kreider, in his New York Times Article: The ‘Busy’ Trap
