Be Kind

Why lay yourself on the torturer's rack of the past and future? The mind that tries to shape tomorrow beyond its capacities will find no rest. Be kind to yourself, dear.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is engaged in a great struggle.

*I know I've joked about goals before (namely my 2010 goals which, bee tee dub, aren't going very well), but I think these are good words to live by and thusly are my goals.

Also, thanks for all the kind words on my recent project. It's hard to put yourself out there and show people, so I appreciate all the encouragement. And the Chicago suggestions are awesome too. You guys are the best! I'll take lots of pictures on the Beast's fancy camera.
