Trauma

Random quote of the day:

“That’s one of the most ruthless lessons trauma teaches you: You are not in charge. All you can control is your reaction to whatever grenades the demented universe rolls in your path. Beginning with whether you get out of bed.”

—Jennifer Senior, “What Bobby Mcilvaine Left Behind,” The Atlantic, September 2021

Swimming

Random quote of the day:

“Swimming has taught me a lot about the true chemistry of feeling good. It's very easy to believe that levels of personal happiness are entirely reliant on all the exterior factors impinging on your life at that time—financial fortunes, friendships, relationships, ups and downs with work—but being in the water, particularly being in a large natural body of water, brings you away from that line of thinking, makes you realize how many of these influencing factors are beyond your control, and ultimately unsolvable, and that at any time your happiness can be primarily down to your immediate environment at that exact moment, if you let go and allow it.

Random quote of the day:

“As soon as you say ‘I do,’ you will discover that marriage is like a car. Yeah, both of you might be sitting in the front seat, but only one of you is driving. Most marriages are more like a motorcycle than a car. Somebody has to sit in the back, and you have to yell to be heard.”
