Quote by Xiran Jay Zhao

“Since the day I was born, the world had told me I must accept whatever woth men assign me. And maybe, despite my nonstop rebellion, I did. They told me to choose between accepting their doctrine or dying, and I did. I chose death. It was the surrender that made me fearless.”

“A great deal of various cultural elements naturally grew from a real need of responding to [mostly] human psychology and biology, with varying degrees of attention to environments, circumstances and chance. Some solutions, how ever well intentioned - may have an impatient character due to the hardship of those times. Likewise - on the other side, certain modern aspects of society may have developed cultural elements which would not be possible without some disregard for hardship. Hardships, with which the very wellbeing of our biology find itself deeply entangled - depending heavily on balance. We may recognize that in times of increased patience - come oppurtunity for reflection in hope to encourage greater balance.”

“While hugging a tree, I had this thought... People used to tell me I was too picky. People told me I should « lower my expectations »... But... Why should we? What if... I raised them? I'm amazed by how much people are portraying themselves miles from where they really are. And it goes in both ways; some say they have gone much further than the path they actually went, and some say they have gone much less than the path they actually went. Remember that standing in your truth is also to be aware of your true value and recognizing the journey you've been through to acquire that said value. Acknowledge your worth, give yourself the love you deserve, and you'll come closer of standing in your own truth, at a pace so fast it defies the speed of light.”
