Saying “Fuck it” actually motivates me more than “You can do this”.

Because saying “fuck it” includes the total acceptance of failure as the outcome, meanwhile “you can do this” focuses only on the hopes of a successful outcome and the lack of acknowledgement of the equally probable failure outcome induces a certain level of unspoken anxiety

To be fully alive requires totally embracing failure. Because if we are true to our selves, we are going to fail. We are going to fail to live up to the cisnormative heteronormative lives set out for us. We are going to fail at beauty ideals. We are going to fail at the dream of success under capitalism. We are going to fail at a lot of the alternatives we imagine for ourselves. But, by every god ever imagined, we are going to fail to be detered by that and we are going to LIVE.
