I used to have a button that said 'When life gives you lemons, make grape juice and leave people wondering how you did it.'

When I am numb, how can I make myself connected? I can't. But I can try to create an environment that is welcoming for connection if it should turn up.

The world is a terrible place for sensitive people but the closer we come to losing our minds, the harder we’ll work to keep them.

And the days are all dust
and the only thing worse
than losing the trust
of a lover is finding the rust
in their kiss.

A small collection of Kae Tempest quotes.

Your word is your honor. So do what you say you will do.
May light guide you through your turmoil and may darkness never cross your path.

White Light be upon you if that is your wish

"Never say anything behind someone's back that you wouldn't say to their face."


That is what I call a Neldaism, my mother use to say that and it is good advice.
May light guide you through your turmoil and may darkness never cross your path.

White Light be upon you if that is your wish

Some things are believed because they are demonstrably
true. But many other things are believed simply because
they have been asserted repeatedly—and repetition has
been accepted as a substitute for evidence.

Repeatedly re-watching Cyberpunk: Edgerunners seems like a great idea..
But we all know you're just emotionally torturing yourself.

It reminds me of one I saw once (I have a feeling it might've been at a gaming convention).

"Most movies posit a villian who is in control. He wants do evil. In fact I don't believe anybody is in total control."

-David Cronenberg (old interview from the 1980s). Often a useful insight outside of the world of movies too.

If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

This reminds me of the old 'verse by the side of the road' Burma Shave signs (that I know about from Games Magazine :-P )
