Behind closed doors, we're all the fat uncool kid.

One of the greatest journeys in life is overcoming insecurity and learning to truly not give a shit.

There were people who lied for gain, people who lied from pain, people who lied simply because the concept of telling the truth was utterly alien to them . . . and then there were people who lied because they were waiting for it to be time to tell the truth.

Every news source on the internet is tuned to personalise their content, so you never get exposed to anything but what other people click on.

I recommend buying a newspaper. At least then it's not parsed through what data the news source has on you.

But that's no guarantee, newspapers nowadays are typically biased for a general audience instead of giving a personal bias, but they're more or less the closest you can get to news nowadays.

As a general rule; anything that doesn't even know you're looking at it is all you should consider.

Most 'news' won't make history. It's probably better to just pick up a history book; it may be old news, but at least once you learn what happened, its relevancy and decided importance doesn't disappear onto a new topic overnight.

It is often the people who refuse to assume any responsibility who are apt to be the sharpest critics of those who do.

I think of Lindsay in the bathroom of Rosalita’s, and wonder how many people are clutching secrets like little fists, like rocks sitting in the pits of their stomachs. All of them, maybe.
