    Source of shame

    The awareness of human separation, without reunion by love—is the source of shame. It is at the same time the source of guilt and anxiety. The deepest need of man, then, is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness. The absolute failure to achieve this aim means insanity, because…

    Just so you know, I had a wonderful time last night and it made my otherwise boring weekend into something I’ll remember.

    Minutes over beer

    I was out catching up with Dan last night, over a few bottles of cheap beer. It was a pretty dirty place but reminiscent of college days when none of us had that much money and we didn’t have so many options when it comes to bars serving Gilbey’s. I told him everything and was…

I would be asking about her, and you would tell me everything since the last time you asked for advice and I didn’t give you…

    Sometimes I don’t know if I’m getting better. Most days I feel like giving up. Why did I make a world out of the wrong people? Sometimes I don’t know why anything is worth it. I’ve felt like I didn’t exist before. I don’t really want to feel that but…sometimes, I just know it’ll be…

    words of advice

    (1) it’s a struggle to focus on the reason why we choose to be virtuous if the ‘dishonest’ are the successful ones (2) it boils down to dignity and self-respect, right? it may not advance your career, but then again it’s not something she has and will never comprehend as valuable (3) she may have…
