Experiences and Experiencing Things | Dushka Zapata

I can tell you two things with certainty. The first is that anything worthwhile will make you suffer. The second is that suffering is precisely what strengthens your heart.

“Potential pain” is not sound criteria for whether or not to try something. Because, you would be missing out on everything.

This is why a routine is so critical.

You see, Quora has the same things to offer every day. It’s not Quora that is different (at least not from one day to the next).

What I am feeling is me. Me and my moods, me and my internal weather, me and my excessive, irrepressible love, me and my impatience, me and all the secret Gods I pray to, me and the merciless tidal waves of pain.

There is no escaping me.

And this is, ultimately, why I write. Because every day is the exact same, yet every day is different.

You’re not different. I am. And I am here at my desk to witness exactly where I am at.
