Why Learning, Really Learning, Is Such An Inconfortable Task

why learning, really learning, is such an inconfortable task

like admiting you don't know stuff, changing your opinions, finding an infinity of new texts is sooooo exausting and anxiety inducing

Alanis Morissette

“ I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.”

-The Priest, Fleabag, wedding speech

I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think, to think and live, to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
