“Although it might be best of all to be Socrates satisfied, having both happiness and depth, we would give up some happiness in order to gain the depth.” ~ Robert Nozick, The Examined Life

"I used to be afraid of therapy.
I now know why.
Therapy changes you. Well, it changed me. And it was the change I was hoping for, it was the change I was looking for but didn’t know how to access.

I was afraid of myself really.
I was afraid of my thoughts, my dreams, my hidden traumas.
So I hid them even more. Until it was a make or break time."
