Art will save you.
Being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you.
Letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you.
Earnestness over composure will save you.
The natural world will save you.
Caring for something bigger than yourself will save you.
Daring to be seen will save you.
Kindness — not as a whim, but as a principle — will save you.
Appreciation as a practice will save you.
Daring to try something new will save you.
Grounding will save you.
Love will save you.
One good night’s sleep will save you.

“There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.”
— Beau Taplin, and you.
Agnès Varda in filming Desire (2000) Dir. Marie Mandy

Time doesn't make you do things that you can't
Time doesn't grow things down in your soul
Time puts you on top of nothing at all
Baby you gotta take control
