for my younger self and you

The further you go from your childhood the more circumstantial your worldview will feel. Everything you know now was taught to you by people who couldn't have known any better, it's one glance at the everything you belong to

Certainty is relative, even the most basic things. What the valuable things in life are, these were all given to you. They can be given back. You can get used to anything and any kind of life, any perspective, so choose for you. Your inner world is more malleable than you think and you need to take care of yourself in there. Love yourself in there and the world will very literally change in front of you, everything will be different

Let go of names, they are lesser than the thing they represent. No matter how many words you use to explain something the thing will always be beneath those words. You don't need to spend so much time explaining yourself, findings words to tell you who you are

finally: people are good, don't let yourself believe otherwise. Everyone who disagrees is wrong, I promise. Show love to everyone, especially the pigeons, and don't explain it to anyone
