All of the problems modern people deal with can be traced to their inability to stay quietly in a room by themselves. The constant need for crowds is why there’s no peace in your heart

I’m tired of human relationships turning into a chess match that requires strategic moves.

By the virtue of loving someone, you incur a responsibility: to give them the best of yourself and summon forth the best within them. Make their becoming your concern. Strengthen them, and help them transcend what they are, for in their elevation, you too ...

One thing I am determined never to outsource is my capacity to think for myself. It is imperative that I retain the freedom to decide what I believe, interrogate what I have been taught, and continually refine the convictions by which I choose to live.

i am capable of being a terrible person. but i am a good person. there’s this popular rhetoric that good people don’t know they are good, but they do because it’s a choice you have to make each and everyday, even on days when it’s hard. 🙏🏽

But beyond all the achievements, I pray that you are okay. That you are happy, safe, loved, held and surrounded by people who pour into you as much as you pour into everyone else. I pray that life is gentle with you.

Duncan Trussell recorded this conversation with his mother while she was facing terminal cancer.
What you’re hearing isn’t scripted. It isn’t performed. It’s a son sitting with his dying mother trying to hold onto every word before the words run out.
And she, the one facing the end, is the one doing the comforting.
That is what makes these conversations so extraordinary. Not the wisdom itself, as profound as it is. But who it’s coming from. A woman who had every reason to be consumed by her own fear choosing instead to spend what little time remained helping her son understand how to live without her.
These recordings became the heart of The Midnight Gospel. And I always go back to watch it again.
They remain some of the most honest conversations about death, love and what it means to be human ever put on screen…

What a big, steaming pile of ultra-conservative, regressive, reductive, anti-intellectual, patronizing, homophobic, transphobic, religiously psychotic bullshit!
I encourage everyone to read this, to be aware of what we're up against.
