We Are Gathered Here Today Because SOMEBODY *glares At Coffin* Couldnt Stay Alive.

We are gathered here today because SOMEBODY *glares at coffin* couldn’t stay alive.

Don’t compare your actual self to a hypothetical self. Don’t drown in a sea of “what if’s”. Don’t clutter your mind by imagining other versions of you, in parallel universes, where you made different decisions. The internet age encourages choice and comparison, but don’t do this to yourself. “Comparison is the thief of joy” said Theodore Roosevelt. You are you. The past is the past. The only way to make a better life is from inside the present. To focus on regret does nothing but turn that very present into another thing you will wish you did differently. Accept your own reality. Be human enough to make mistakes. Be human enough not to dread the future. Be human enough to be, well, enough.

Thelma and Louise (1991)

“Spacek had to work hard to persuade director de Palma to engage her for the role. After rubbing Vaseline into her hair and donning an old sailor dress her mother made for her as a child, Spacek turned up at the audition with the odds against her, but won the part.”

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style
