if i didn't care

Can a creative person
have no trauma in his past?
Does head trauma count?
Or a toxic river?
I learned to swim in sludge.

What doesn't kill you
~~makes you stranger~~
will try again later.

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

— Lao Tzu (via nirvikalpa)
