I admire runners… they’ve learned how to have a battle with themselves and win.

When you’re missing something for long enough it fills up with something else. We call them demons. Now we know they arent demons but all humans need somone to blame so for the sake of them we’ll say demons. Maybe we’ll say flaws too for the more educated. The problem is we think that we can kill them. How can you kill a part of you without harming yourself? You cant. You cannot kill your demons. You can only educate them.
Hardest thing about being a kid is that everyone lies to you. Honestly how would you look at the world if you thought there was some guy stealing your teeth while you were sleep? We buy alarm systems for tooth fairies.

I know how this feels
When the Japanese mend broken objects,
they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold.
They believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history
it becomes even more beautiful.
