So let us look for beauty and grace, for love and friendship, for that which is creative and birth-giving and soul-stretching. Let us dare to laugh at ourselves, healthy, affirmative laughter. Only when we take ourselves lightly can we take ourselves seriously, so that we are given the courage to say, “Yes! I dare disturb the universe.”
Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DCMore about this quote: wist.info/lengle-madeleine/838…

"And the dandelion does not stop growing because it is told it is a weed, it does not care what others see. It says 'One day, they'll be making wishes upon me."

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet

No one, whether poet or orator, ever yet thought anyone else better than himself. This is the case even with bad ones.

After very nearly recovering back to full operational capacity from the Winter Of Death I'm starting to feel like maybe I actually AM a badass 70's street bike with a bulletproof engine and the performance to make up for dangerously unstable design.
The engineers that made me must have been crazy like foxes #SelfAppreciation

While cleaning things up, I stumbled upon a copy my 2003 master’s thesis on portable checkpointing for C/C++ code and found that it wasn’t ridiculous at all:

A quotation from Augustine of Hippo:
«««««
Men go forth to marvel at the heights of mountains and the huge waves of the sea, the broad flow of the rivers, the vastness of the ocean, the orbits of the stars, and yet they neglect to marvel at themselves.
[Et eunt homines mirari alta montium et ingentes fluctus maris et latissimos lapsus fluminum et oceani ambitum …

A hump day reminder to stop comparing ourselves with others.

[2/2] and it turns out, I'm actually pretty cool, and well worth dating. The amount of comebacks I've thought of since that day when I mumbled, "oh right, yeah, wild eh" have been a genuine eye opener to me. Plus of course I asked him when I got home that day.
So if you're feeling like you're not good enough, my question to you to answer on here or in your head is: why are you loveable? You might be surprised what your self tells you ❤️
