Don’t try
Comfort with yourself as a failure, the Bukowsky’s story
Feedback loop from hell, thinking about what I am thinking, anxiety about being anxious, feel guilty for feeling guilty
Backwards law: the desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. and, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience
Too many fucks to give. Exactly the way you want it to be. Sickness. Every adversity as an injustice, every challenge as a failure, every inconvenience as a personal slight, every disagreement as a betrayal.
Subtle art of not giving a fuck.
Not being indiffernet but being comfortable with being different. Indiffernet people often attempt to be indifferent because in reality they give too many fucks. They give a fuck about what everyone thinks of their hair, so they never bother washing or combing it. Give fuck about important things. Cannot please everybody, need not to. The point isn’t to get away from shit but to find shit you enjoy dealing with.
Give fuck about something more important than adversity.

You are choosing what to give a fuck about. Become selective. Maturity is what happens when one learns to give a fuck about what’s truly fuck-worthy.
Lose and let go
Happiness is a problem
Suffering is inevitable, Buddha story. No value in suffering if no purpose.
