Most of the things we worry about are just scripts written by people who are just as tired and lost as the rest of us. You don't have to play a part for an audience that isn't even looking. The only witness who truly matters is the one you see in the mirror when the lights go out. If you’re at peace with that person, the rest of the world can be as loud as it wants. Focus on your own garden; the flowers don't need anyone's permission to grow.
