Do you think it's better to fail at something worthwhile, or to succeed at something meaningless?

“We all looked up” by Tommy Wallach

You get to choose what you want to do with your life, instead of life choosing for you. But having that power, the power to choose, can be a doubleedged sword. Because you can choose wrong.

Lain: "It doesn't matter which was real, this world or that one. I was in both. ... I am a program designed to destroy the barrier between the Wired and the Real World. Even you, Arisu, and everyone else-- you're just applications. The truth is, we don't need bodies." 

Arisu: "That’s wrong. I don't really understand what you're saying, but I think you're wrong. Your body is cold, but you are alive, Lain. I am, too. See?"  

(Arisu lets Lain feel her hearbeat.)

Lain and Arisu together: "It's beating... beating... beating...!" 

(They both laugh.) 

Lain: "But why? Why is your heart racing like that?" 

Arisu: "Because I'm scared. It's pounding like that because I'm scared." 

Lain: "But you're smiling, Arisu." 

Arisu: "Yes I am, but I'm scared at the same time."

that is life, my girls~

Quite sad, literally.

Like someone who was born an introvert who begs and struggles to become more outgoing and courageous but the world never allowed it. 

You feel as though you're always in the dark to keep yourself safe but also want to experience the world outside. 

🌿"Some men, indeed, only begin to live when it is time for them to leave off living. And if this seems surprising to you, I shall add that which will surprise you still more: "Some men have left off living before they have begun."

Scam

Words are oblivious in belittling my emotions

Quarrying into these veins that pumps scarlet

Scared for life they see the prey shaking

Of anger? Of fear? Of Disgust?

Sanctuaries are vanquished in holy names of covetousness

Proclaims their admiration by using daggers

Pointed at the cause of all sin: the heart

Contrary to the vehemence that I feel

Violated and denied the prerogatives offered to me at birth

Silent are the behest of the laws of the soul

~Srijita

In order to flee from the past and reach the future, we forget to live in the present.
