The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day…. The only thing that’s capital-T True is that you get to decide how you’re going to try to see it. You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn’t…. The trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness.
— David Foster Wallace (via pieddepyper)
No matter what happens, what keeps happening, I have always believed this and I will keep believing it. And I think (I hope) life will get easier as I fill it with more people who understand this and subscribe to it.
You have to notice. You have to pay attention to detail and revel in giving, you have to find sexiness in the unsexy, you have to see the joy in not being a completely free agent, and most importantly, you have to choose.
Every day. You have to choose.
