"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe

You don't deserve your empathy.

This is a pretty provokative statement. But you don't deserve to feel bad. It is not a privilege you deserve. And the sooner you accept it, the faster you'll be capable of properly take responsibility of yourslef and your life. It may be the case that your parents are fucked up and/or idiots, that you have had to experience and endure some messed up shit, that your health isn't perfect, or that you wish you looked or felt a different way. But nobody promised you that life would be easy. And if they did, then I'm sorry, but they lied. There is only degrees of imperfect lives. Your life is exactly your specific degree of imperfect. Danish poet Dan Turéll said that "it's not easy to be anyone". The only certain part of human existence is misery and death, according to buddhism. That's why you shouldn't view the adversity that will (and it will) be forced upon you in life, and the same goes for hardships and mistakes. That's what life is. If you wanted to have a life without adversity, go play Homescapes. I can feel bad for you, if you perhaps grew up in a home with alcohol abuse and mistreatment, or if you have experiences severe disease or death in your close family at a young age. I am aware that some people get a shitty hand in the great card game of life. And it's never a childs fault, no matter what they are subject to. But that doesn't mean you are going to benefit in any particular way from feeling bad for yourself. At least not for long. Maybe you're capable of taking an objective look at recent events and say "yeah, that was total horseshit", or "yeah, that was millions to one, how unlucky". That you should feel bad for yourself, just like you would for any other person who went through those events. But once you've recognised that, leave it. Because if you keep it around, it'll weaken you up. The road to pitytown is a slippery slope, and once you're there, you let go of your responsibilities.

"The painter"

The interviewer was struggling to fish out a comment worthy of the painter's praise but he coudn't.

In the end he decided to ask a question instead.

"Why hang the amataur attempts on wall rather than completed beauties?"

The painter smiled,"I want my walls to hold meaning rther than beauty and my struggles hold meaning to me."

The interviewer merely blinked stunned by the painter's preferences and they both slowly trudged ahead.......

Collage by me...

"One day you wake up and realize that: others' perfection is no better than your imperfection, their order is no better than your mess, their hypocrisy is absolutely no better than your honest madness... So... you just... be yourself and fly away.”

-Isac Randazzo
