We Start Off With High Hopes, Then We Bottle It

We Start Off With High Hopes, Then We Bottle It

We start off with high hopes, then we bottle it. We realise that we’re all going to die, without really finding out the big answers. We develop all those long-winded ideas which just interpret the reality of our lives in different ways, without really extending our body of worthwhile knowledge, about the big things, the real things. Basically, we live a short disappointing life; and then we die. We fill up our lives with shite, things like careers and relationships to delude ourselves that it isn’t all totally pointless.

    ik vind het leven toch erg de moeite waard. feit is dat het bijna altijd van jezelf uit moet gaan, hoe je verhouding met andere mensen zich ontwikkelt. maar ik zoek mijn geluk altijd in de Bijbel en vind het daar ook. verder zoek ik het in de natuur en in alles wat het dagelijks leven biedt aan mooie kleine momenten. ik vind boeken ook zo mooi ben nu aan het lezen in John Boyne – de jongen op de berg, dat gaat over een Frans jongetje dat bij Hitler op Berchtesgaden terecht komt.

The older I get, the more I realize the value of staying low-key, of cultivating your circle and only letting certain people in.

You can be open, honest, and real while still understanding not everyone deserves a seat at your table.
