J’aurais dû être plus gentile — I should have been more kind.
That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, Ah, I wish I was not good to that person. You will never think that.
— Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

"Sillä inhimillinen olemassaolo on animaalista;
se mikä ei ole animaalista on naamiota: temppua, väistöliikettä, veruketta, narrin yritystä sopeutua yhteiskuntaan joka on kone ja jauhaa rikki ihmisen joka ei ole kuuliainen:
ei heitä ajattelun pelisääntöä menemään ja suostu koneen remmiksi tai rattaaksi."

Ystävii, ei oo eikä tuu. Luota muhun sä oot yksinäs.
Tääl ei oo ystävii, ei oo eikä tuu.
Luota muhun, sä oot yksinäs tääl ei oo ystävii.

Surrounded by leaders
We are the dregs of life
Do not panic, leave no trace
Pretend to not care
Do you ever dream about making a difference
Do you ever dream about making a difference

I have waited all my life
For someone to get me out of here
I never knew the view from the edge
Of the world would look like this

Our thoughts beaten senseless
Collecting compassionate stares
Blind to the world in front of us
Deaf to your own will
Surrounded by deceivers
Come reap the harvest with me
Break hearts just to feed the anger
The anger that used to be love

I have waited all my life
For someone to get me out of here
I never knew the view from the edge
Of the world would look like this

I have waited all my life
For someone to get me out of here
I never knew the view from the edge
Of the world would look like this

From the shadows - Into the black light

Good god, youÂ’re so tired. Life has worn you down to the marrow of your bones, took everything from you until you were bare-handed; and yet.

And yet youÂ’re still here, standing before me, your spine hardened to titanium, a delicate thing that can withstand even the most apocalyptic of sieges; you still find it in you to smile, bitter-bloody-all-teeth and still happy, somehow.

Know that I am proud of you; of your bravery, of your resilience,
of how youÂ’ve clung to life by the skin of your teeth. I am proud of you.

(And know that you deserve happiness – you may feel like you don’t, you may feel that it is above the likes of you, but you deserve it; you have earned it.
Know that one of these days, the sun will shine down on your lane, too.)

"If you feel too much, thereÂ’s still a place for you here.

If you feel too much, donÂ’t go.

If this world is too painful, stop and rest.

ItÂ’s okay to stop and rest.

If you need a break, itÂ’s okay to say you need a break.

This life – it’s not a contest, not a race, not a performance, not a thing that you win.

ItÂ’s okay to slow down.

You are here for more than grades, more than a job, more than a promotion, more than keeping up, more than getting by.

This life is not about status or opinion or appearance.

You donÂ’t have to fake it.

You do not have to fake it.

Other people feel this way too.

If your heart is broken, itÂ’s okay to say your heart is broken.

If you feel stuck, itÂ’s okay to say you feel stuck.

If you canÂ’t let go, itÂ’s okay to say you canÂ’t let go.

You are not alone in these places.

Other people feel how you feel.

You are more than just your pain. You are more than wounds, more than drugs, more than death and silence.

There is still some time to be surprised.

There is still some time to ask for help.

There is still some time to start again.

There is still some time for love to find you.

ItÂ’s not too late.

YouÂ’re not alone.

It’s okay – whatever you need and however long it takes – it’s okay.

ItÂ’s okay.

If you feel too much, thereÂ’s still a place for you here.

If you feel too much, donÂ’t go.

There is still some time."
