“You have to cultivate an attitude to life where you’re not trying to get anything out of it. You pick up a pebble on the beach, look at it. It’s beautiful. Don’t try and get a sermon out of it. Sermons in stones and God in everything, be damned. Just enjoy it. Don’t feel that you’ve got to salve your conscience by saying that this is for the advancement of your aesthetic understanding. Enjoy the pebble. If you do that, you become healthy.”

— Alan Watts

what is lonelier
                                    to grieve

                                    not love anyone enough to

— Alexis Bates, from “Lonelier,” The Lonely

• adults: record numbers of teens are depressed, we must find out why
• teens: school is more stressful than ever, our parents screwed over the economy, the earth is on a path to total environmental destruction, and now we have to deal with actual fuckin nazis
• adults: it's the iphones isn't it
