You have time to develop, dwell in your own mind and go a bit mad. All great people are a bit mad. That’s good to remember. Don’t escape it. Great growth comes from time spent in foreign lands, watching foreign people with foreign cultures. It makes you forget about your own land and race and town for a while. Great growth also comes from rooting yourself into one place from time to time. Unpack your bags, get a nice bed, a book shelf, some friends. Learn to show up, keep in touch, stick around. Growth comes in all sort of forms and shapes, everywhere at all times, and it’s yours to take and consume. Do what ought to be done. Here and now, to get you somewhere — anywhere.","author":"Charlotte Eriksson","tags":["advice","art","cultures","develop","developing","foreign-lands","growing","growth","inspiration","learning","life-advice","living","loneliness","lonely","mad","mind","motivation","self-development","self-growth","solitude","travel","writers-life"],"id":29078,"author_id":"Charlotte+Eriksson"},{"text":"You need to decide to stop letting their crazy box you in.","author":"Ella Fox","tags":["crazy","family","life-advice"],"id":39521,"author_id":"Ella+Fox"},{"text":"May you reach that level within, where you no longer allow your past or people with toxic intentions to negatively affect or condition you.","author":"Lalah Delia","tags":["awakening","career","confrontation","evolve","family","friendship","healthy-living","healthy-relationship","interactions","lalah-delia","letting-go","life","life-advice","peace","positive-people","positive-thoughts","progress","relationships","solutions","soul-searching","spiritual-growth","toxic-people","toxic-relationships","transcendence","transformation"],"id":49014,"author_id":"Lalah+Delia"},{"text":"Don't let anything be too much for you.","author":"Claudia Pegus","tags":["fashion","inspiration","life","life-advice","life-lessons","outlook"],"id":54984,"author_id":"Claudia+Pegus"},{"text":"If you have few months to live, what will you do?","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["advice","life-adventure","life-advice","life-and-living-insight","live-life-so-well","live-your-dreams","living-and-dying","living-your-best-life","positive","rhetorical-questions","thoughts-on-life","wise","wise-words"],"id":56163,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Forget about style worry about results.
