Anyone feeling stressed about future/work/school things needs to watch this.
"And I guess a man's importance in the world can be measured by the quality and the number of his glories. It is a lonely thing, but it relates us to the world. It is the mother of all creativeness and it sets each man separate from all other men" -Steinbeck

I like people
Who do not shudder
At the prospect of having too much to do.People who would rather
Pick up a few more books
Than a few more hours
Of sleep.People who spend
Days in the sun
And nights under
The glare of a hundred flaming bulbs
Surrounded by stone
And coffee
And quiet. -
This is nice.

"
How will we live to create? Will we be painters who cover up mistakes with a new stroke or different color to distract from the error? This is easier. It takes less time, and we don’t have to change the overall image for anyone to see.
…
But if we are to have vision, will we instead see others and even ourselves in the same way a sculptor sees marble - a sculptor who knows that she cannot just cover it up and put it all back together as if it was never fractured? Instead, she knows that to have it restored, she has to have insight for what it can wholly become - something different but ever faithful to its essence. It will never be what it was, for its nature is too rich to be patched up. But the eye of a sculptor looks into the form of the marble and knows that the guided chisel can shape it into something. Not as it was before, but uncompromisingly true to its essence, and lovely.

“I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.” -John Katz
