we learn constantly. I revel in the strangeness of the universe and laugh to discover myself in it. For however long that lasts I intend to keep learning.
I NEVER want to “stop thinking too much”. Ever. There’s no such thing as “too much thinking”. What there is WAY too much of in my head is bulls**t self-recrimination, second-guessing, self-deprecation and vague anxiety associated with other sapient beings.
I’d love to get THAT crap under control but I don’t want to stop thinking about it.
I’d like to learn to be calm in my thinking.
