There is no pride in having lived a safe life

You don't want to arrive at the graveyard with no scars.

You don't want to die having lived a passionless life where all you were seeking to be was safe enough to survive. You dont want to live a life that is so comfortable that you don't taste anything different than what you have learned is good to taste and good to experience for you to be a good person. And no, I am not inciting you to do harm or bad things to yourself or the others, I am inciting you to break free from the norm of what is an acceptable life. There is no honour in being so safe that your heart withers under the burden of emptiness. Not desiring anything too intensely. Not being too much.

This is a prison for the heart because the heart is too much. She is limitless and boundless. We're small creatures crushed by the infinity of our hearts that yearn to live without beginning and end. Our hearts naturally burn and ache to the fullest of their capacity. Don't dwindle your vitalty. Don't trade your aliveness for a safety that will wane your humanness.

There is no pride and no victory in having lived unscathed. There is no glory and no beauty in having lived untouched, unseen, unheard, unloved, hard and unmoved by anything, having lived no great ruinous cataclysmic love and there is no pride in having not failed once. So become who you're meant to be when you came here. Be humane. Burn.
